Saints

I can't even begin to explain how happy and proud I am to be a saints fan. For years we have watched the saints as they built up their reputation as an "almost" team. And now we have the long awaited privilege of being able to watch them go to the superbowl. Growing up in New Orleans as a Saints fan was never easy because of how bad the team used to be. But no matter what I always kept my head up with the rising thought that someday in the duration of my existence, I would watch this team in a superbowl game for their first time. Now that the thought is a reality I am absolutely ecstatic. Many times I have witnessed this team get so close to making history and more and more I grew faithless. Even when they got to a 12 and 0 streak I still had a guard up as if I was afraid to completely fall in love in fear of heart brake. But now, my heart is with them. After all the city of New Orleans has been through, even before the disaster of "Katrina" , it deserves a new beginning. I will proudly wear my black and gold as I cheer them on to what I could only hope to be their first but not last superbowl game, and more importantly their first superbowl victory. Since the day I was old enough to say "Who Dat" , I have waited for this very moment. Good Luck to the Saints! You have already made me proud, now just make me right.
