It has been a few years since I have taken the time to sit down and watch a football game. Truthfully, probably the last one was our son Matthew's last high school football game 5 years ago. Bittersweet as it was, admittedly I was glad it was over. But as a mother I needed to support his desire to play.. Our family truly has never been a sport watching family. I don't lose my husband on the weekends to any of the major sports like other women do (thank God) but occasionally a Super Bowl has been enticing enough to watch.
I have been invited by a friend to her Super Bowl party. She has many reasons to cheer this year. After Hurricane Katrina she was one of many families that had to relocate somewhere else. Her husband had a chance for a transfer here so Missouri became her new home.. Needless to say she is on "cloud-nine" that the New Orleans Saints have a great chance to win the Super Bowl this year.
Usually I root for the underdog and heaven knows New Orleans has had it's share of struggles the last several years. It would be wonderful if they win.
New Orleans is a great town. I had the chance many years ago to attend a conference their. I remember the wonderful food, sights and people. Although Katrina took alot of that away, step by step and little by little I am sure they will one day be the New Orleans I remember best.
Who Dat!!! Saints....

Who Dat?? I rooted for the underdog Saints the whole way.
Our TV used to on every football game played on the weekends, plus Monday night, and then those Thursday night games. Whew! I have to admit I know quite a bit about the game.
I'm SO disappointed in the Chiefs! Jim used to be a die-hard fan. A few years ago when most fans were wearing sacks over their heads, he proudly wore his Chief's shirts.
I've been to Nawlin's three times--always close to Mardi Gras. Love the parades and festivities.
Oh, by the way--I thought your blog was going to be about the upcoming Olympic skating. I thought THAT was going to be the biggest contest of the year.
