It’s been a few years since there’s a been a Super Bowl that everyone can get behind. Given the history of the Saints franchise and the obvious struggles New Orleans has been through and how tear jerkingly special the bond between the fans and the team is, I’d say it’s right up there if not more profound than the miracle Patriots first Super Bowl run with Tom (Who is this kid?)Brady knocking off the juggernaut Rams of Kurt Warner and Marshall Faulk.

Although a team called “The Patriots” in the Super Bowl following 9/11 stands on it’s own, my point is that’s the last time I really cared about a team that wasn’t my own and felt it was a bona-fide national phenomena that went beyond normal regional sports rooting interests. The Saints are a national feel good story, if you can’t get behind Who Dat Nation you have no soul.

And aside from all that it’s the first time since 1993 that the #1 seeds from the NFC and AFC made it to the Super Bowl. Should be a great game…..but The Saints have Jeff Bridges level momentum right now, they’re gonna smash fools at the Soup Bo just like Crazy Heart gon’ snatch dem Oscaz!
