so I’m gonna have to DVR it and try to make it until later tonight without hearing what happened. Wish me luck.

There was a picture of him with a kid who had cancer, and his hat was the red 9 in the white circle—clearly Williams’

Should be fun.

I live in New Orleans. Like the Red Sox finally winning it all, this is my second favorite team’s chance to finally finish on top.

I’m going to be at a bar/restaurant (in New Orleans they’re the same thing) this evening at a Super Bowl party. I appreciate all the good mojo coming our way. If you look at the polls, two areas of the country dominate their hopes for the Saints – the Gulf South and New England. I work in an office of about 25 people. Three of us are die-hard baseball fans with a favorite team. The Red Sox is the team for all three of us.

We have a connection – New England and the Gulf South. The long, hard years of failure and a city/region that rallies around its team are like none other (maybe Chicago for its Cubs, but they’re so big it’s hard to include them in our category).

I’ll leave you with one more thought. When the French Cajuns (which comes from “Acadians”) first came down to Louisiana from Canada, they stopped along the way where some of them remained. That place was Massachusetts.

I’ll check in with you after the game. Go Saints!!!!

this football stuff is for tinkerbells

The Patriots are the team of the decade.

New Orleans kept Indy from challenging New England for that honor.

Uh, let’s not forget that it was in Boston where that student was killed by being shot in the eye with a rubber bullet post-Red Sox championship.
