The Great SuperBowl River City Crossover

by Loki February 6, 2010

I’m sitting in Cincinnati watching the snow pile up outside. It feels perfectly appropriate since the Saints are going to their first SuperBowl in history. Satan is skating to work through a frozen hell-scape today! The excitement gripping New Orleans is so intense I can physically feel it up here in Cincy, and I can’t stand football! It’s hard to get [...]

History Redux

by M Styborski December 1, 2009

The first 11-0 start for the Saints. The first NFC team to start 11-0. The first time in NFL history that two teams start 11-0. And it came against the team that made the media question the Saints credibility. All week long the bandwagon announcers have been hedging their bets. After all, it’s the New [...]

You Are Missing History

by M Styborski November 10, 2009

You Are Missing History Not watching the Saints? You should be. That every Saints game becomes a part of the NFL ouevre and a slice of New Orleans’ collective consciousness goes without saying, but at 8-0 the Saints are poised to make history with every game.

Clint and the Red Shirts

by Loki January 9, 2008

I meant to post this a few days ago, but other things devoured my time. Let me start by disclosing that I do not like sports at all. AT ALL. I’m probably the only straight male in America who does not even watch the occasional game. That said my comment today is about sports. The [...]

Saints on High

by Loki January 22, 2007

The score is 14/16 with the Saints just having scored a touchdown. The really interesting part is the vacant streets outside. I just got back from walking to the store for cigarettes. It reminded me so much of those first weeks back after our exile. In the course of walking six blocks on a fairly [...]

Blogito Ergo Sum: S.1 Revisited

by Loki January 18, 2007

The discussion generated by my Jail the Bloggers article has unearthed a number of interesting perspectives and opinions. I think the most telling are the following: Promoted From The Comments: Crystal : With this I am thinking of, for example, the Oil Company lobbyists who paid the CEI company to put out pro-global-warming propaghanda commercials [...]

Tasty Bread, Good Circus

by Loki September 28, 2006

While the Saints game is undeniably bread and circuses, garnering attentiion and participation in far greater quantity that things like housing or elections, it still has its good sides. For the first time (yes, first time, I am NOT a sports fan of any stripe) I watched the Saints pound Atlanta into the ground the [...]
