It is a cold day in Hell right now...

The Saints are goin' to the Super Bowl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh. My. God. WOW. This is HUGE, y'all. The SAINTS, this just does not happen.

Well, obviously God was listening to me Saturday afternoon because I went to Saturday 5:00 Mass at St. Mary's and our rector said we should pray for the Jets "even though it's not going to help" and I spoke up "we should pray for the Saints!" Of course I was making a liturgical joke but yes, I do love the Saints and YEEHAW!!!! Geaux Saints!!!!!!

And guys, I'd support you no matter who you were playing but you especially gotta kick the snot out of the Colts. I grew up in DC, we do not forgive (the Indy Colts used to be the Balmer Colts, and they picked up literally in the middle of the night and skedaddled out of Balmer. I'm a DCer, not from our neighboring city, but we thought it was disgusting).

Geaux Saints!!!!!

Unbelievable. History, man.

Yes, when I had a play in Baltimore the locals were telling me how nobody uses Mayflower trucks in Baltimore because that's the company the Colts used to make their midnight flight. Also, when Baltimore had a team in some rival football league that didn't last long (USFL?) they wanted to call the team the Baltimore Colts but the Indy Colts had some kind of legal right to the name "Baltimore Colts." So they didn't give the team an official nickname, but everyone referred to the as the Colts. They couldn't call them the Colts in the newspapers or over the stadium loudspeaker, but when they would introduce the team before a game they'd say, "Here are your Baltimore..." and the fans would respond with "Colts!"

That's so awesomely obnoxious! I'm not kidding, that's a stain on the region's soul, everyone remembers it. Heck, my priest yesterday mentioned it!

I was all Vikes on behalf of [livejournal.com profile] minstrel70, and it would have been nice to see the Jets take down the Colts.

But now I have to be... heh... wait for it...
All Saints.
