(To be sung to the tune of the hallelujah in every thank-god moment you've ever had)
Lets just all take a moment and be happy about this. Welcome your kids to another or their first NFL Saints football season. Renew your hatred or love for your spouse/partner depending on your team affiliations, and block all of the people you are friends with on Facebook that somehow became Seahawks fans over the past two years.
So as per usual we're playing the Falcons for our season opener. This year its Atlanta's home field which I'm assuming they re-did because of all the bad juju the previous stadium had. I'm additionally sure that they'll find a way to blame it on New Orleans for standing on their bird and taking a picture center field. Another thing I'd be sure about is that Roger Goodell would find a way to fine us for it. And maybe suspend some players.
Anyway, lets talk about our peoples. Drew - I had the privilege of seeing you at training camp this year, and I like what you're putting down. Get out there, kick some ass, and show my son how football is played.
Hot Damn Jimmy Graham looked fierce at training camp and I admire his cajones to proceed to dunk the ball over the goal posts despite incurring the fine. As Peyton Manning said when he incurred the fine for smacktalkery earlier in the pre-season, "It was money well spent". I personally don't see why this is a fine and just consider it another way that Rog' is penalizing the Saints while fleecing them via the NFL. (Remember when they tried to trademark who dat?) Back to Jim - whatever position you feel the need to title yourself with, go for it, you're amazing at it. Make sure you face-palm Vilma (if he isn't injured, that is) for leaving and going to the dark side.
For our offense in general - I think we're going to be surprised in this game and I am interested to see who's going to make a name for themselves this afternoon. After what I will go forth calling, "The Meachem Curfuffle" I'm sure no one feels too secure in their jobs and will be playing to the highest caliber. Seriously though Saints - I'm 35.5 weeks pregnant and I don't need to be scared like that. I don't think the Saints are hurting for fans enough to induce labor to garner yet another fan. But I'm fairly certain that could have happened.
To our defense and Wizard Leader - if Vilma is playing, you know what to do. That's all I'm going to say to you.
In an attempt to expend some energy from myself and my son before the game, we're taking him to the Air and Space Museum to look at airplanes. This kid will not say mama, mom, or ma, but can articulate Oskar and Airplane relatively well for a one year old. I'm not sure whether I should be insulted or impressed. Either way, I hope that when we get back he'll be too tired to care that I'm yelling at the television, which we learned during the world cup scares the crap out of him.
Bless you boys and GEAUX SAINTS YAAAAAAAAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HAPPY GAME DAY EVERYONE!
