Best Superbowl Picture Ever?

Shockey gets shocked

I had a little incident right before the Saints Super bowl championship.  When I went to plug in an antenna signal booster, the ac adaptor blew up in my hand, numbing my arm,  gave me a blister on my thumb and causing a  huge ringing sound in my head for the next hour.  Lucky for us, we could watch the game without the signal booster.

Strippers rooting for Shockey

06:33 AM ET 02.04 | Who will win the Super Bowl? The ecdysiasts at Rick's Cabaret pick the Saints, maybe because they are partial to New Orleans tight end Jeremy Shockey, a regular on the strip club scene when he played for the Giants. "We're not allowed to talk about our celebrity customers," said busty Rick's girl, and NYU student, Cynthia. "But let's just say that we all know and love Jeremy." "Jeremy is my favorite athlete," said petite Alyssa.

There and Back Again

Were back and the NFC Championship again.  This time, we don’t have to go up and play in 20 degree weather surrounded by hostile fans.  At home, in the dome.  Great things are going to happen to New Orleans regardless if we win or loss this game, but this will help the people of New Orleans feel just a little better.  Douglas Mccollam puts it into words much better then I could ever:  http://online.wsj.com/article/SB20001424052748703514404574587904269570732.html

Great Post on the Mind of a Saint’s Fan

Mike Carey - Super Ref

I know most fans hate refs and I know few NFL fans that have a favorite one.  Well guess what?  I do!  Mike Carey is the best ref out of any sport I have ever seen and I will explain why in a minute.

Back in high school I used to do the book for the women's basketball team.  It was a fun and intense job.  The reason is was intense was because some of the refs sucked.  When a team member would foul they would shout out the number across the gym.  You could never hear them and it would always be an issue.  Every once and a while we would get a good ref who put up his fingers to indicate who made the foul.  Since that time I have made it my life study to search for the perfect official and Mike Carey is him. 

There are several reasons that Mr. Carey is so good.  The first is that he has complete control of the game.  Sometimes you are watching the TV and the officials seem confused and unsure of what to call.  Not Carey.  He always knows what's going on.  He controls the teams, the coaches, and the other officials.  His greatest asset is that he is a great communicator.  Anytime there is a penalty, he clearly explains to the audience what happened.  I find it hard to get angry when he makes a call against the Saints.

Keep on rocking Mike.

Saints

I got some great pics from the Saints Playoff game yesterday.  Clark and I went down to New Orleans around 3pm and as you can see from the pictures, hung out with a ton of Bayerworld Allstars.  I have been to the college National Championship Game in 2003 and the Saint's Monday Night Opener of the Superdome early this year.  None of those games came close to what I saw Saturday Night.  The energy was unbelievable.

Playoff

Clark and I are heading to the Game.  I might update from the game but I doubt I have become that lame yet.  Clark score prediction is Saints 31-14.
