As for me, I’m still rooting for the Saints who have a first-round bye for the first time in team history. So this Sunday’s game means nothing and head coach Sean Payton has indicated that he’ll treat the game against Carolina in the Superdome as more of a preseason game. But it will be fitting to close out the Saints’ regular season at home where the fans have been needing something like this after Hurricane Katrina caused so much hardship and heartbreak. Some oddsmakers are giving the Saints 2-to-1 to win the NFC Championship. And some are even making predictions that the Saints might even win the Super Bowl. I ain’t going THAT far. I’m pleased as punch they’ve won the NFC South (I got a banner from a Winn Dixie in Biloxi, Mississippi while visiting the inlaws the day after they won it – they were printed up and distributed in the New Orleans region just that quickly). But if they WERE fortunate enough to win it all this season, they would have to be considered the Cinderella team of all Cinderella teams.
In an unrelated piece, as reported in the Times-Picayune newspaper, Louisiana Governor Kathleen Blanco said Friday she is optimistic that she’ll reach an agreement with the New Orleans Saints to keep the team in Louisiana beyond 2010. If she’s optimistic, then I’m worried. Hopefully the Chargers will bolt (pardon the intentional pun) to San Antonio instead of the Saints (as threatened by Saints owner Tom Benson).

Thank the football gods that the Giants didn’t “throw” this game away! I don’t think I could have lived with “my” Giant fan for another day!
