I'm happy for my old home state of Louisiana. They've been through a lot of no good in recent years, with the big devastation coming from Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans of course. But this year's undeafeted New Orleans Saints football organization has given them something to cheer about! What a team. What coaching. They are exciting! Led by Drew Brees, the best quarterback in football today, both in skill and leadership ability, this team is tight. They play with passion AND precision - and they never give up. Today a little luck helped them out, but they were the ones to stand up and make it happen when the opportunity presented itself - with a 33-30 win in overtime over the Washington Redskins. GEAUX Saints GEAUX!
My family is all jazzed up about the Saints, and we're celebrating even though we're far apart. We're connecting on Facebook to cheer them on and give each other virtual hugs. It's thrilling and fun and downright healing in some ways. This Saints season is a nice reminder of what is positive about Sports. It's cathartic to watch your team fight for a win, and play till the end, even when things are looking bad. It inspires hope and teaches endurance. No, it's not life or death. But I understand the cathartic, inspirational impact it can have on people's lives. Besides - it's fun!
