Congrats to the Saints. What a great story. The city of New Orleans deserves some good news. I know winning a football game is small consolation compared to the pain and suffering that city has endured since Katrina. But it's a great boost for the people there.
I've spent some time in New Orleans, both before and after the hurricane. Some of the nicest people you'd ever want to meet.
I was in New Orleans summer before last, three years after Katrina. The city was still devastated. Whole neighborhoods were ghost towns. People were living in tents under a bridge. In America.
But now, the Saints have given the city something to rally around.
One last note on the game, Brett Favre played a great game, but you just knew that he had a game-killing interception in him.
The Saints are early underdogs in the Super Bowl. They will have one thing going for them -- they are America's team now.
