Given that my brother and his family have lived in NOLA for the past 20+ years, there was never any doubt about who I would be rooting for this Sunday. This just makes me even happier about rooting for them. Rachel Maddow just did her show tonight from the French Quarter (and it was called the "Rachel Maddeaux Show" for tonight), and you could see just how excited that still suffering city is about this team. <i>Who Dat? Who Dat? Who Dat Say Dey Gonna Beat Dem Saints? Geaux Saints!!!</i> Great story about a great guy.

He does a lot locally with children's illnesses and such. But I don't follow the team well enough to know. I'm not particularly a sports fan, let alone a Colts fan, except in the vague geographical sort of way. But we are going to a friend's house to watch the game, and I am enjoying it in the way I prefer, which is that I am taking some very good pulled pork, and possibly some cupcakes or cookies, and I am going to enjoy being somewhere other than my own house, and talk with my friends, and when the game gets very serious I will pull out a nice comforting book on genetics or something and curl up in a chair, or if I get it to that point I will work on the dress I need to have ready to wear to a wedding in March. (I need a better pair of scissors before I can cut this crepe de chine.) Peyton Manning is overall not a huge asshole. He does a lot locally with children’s illnesses and such.

He's what we sometimes call an egg: white on the outside, yellow on the inside. WHO DAT!!

The Saints are just climbing up the ladder in terms of teams I care about. I've liked 'em since they signed Brees, cause I like Brees, and I've only taken to them more since then.

But I am a newly minted Saints fan, or at least a newly minted Scott fan (because I still probably won't be able to sit through football). And people pick their teams for way sillier reasons than that. I don’t give a flying crap about football, I can barely contain my boredom to make it through a game.
