Who is That, Saying They are Going to Beat the Saints?

In honor of the Superbowl this year, I(Kaitlyn) have decided we should do a blog about football! Being from Louisiana with an avid Saints fan for many years as our father, us Wheaties are pretty much required to like the Saints. So what do we think about all this?

well....

Kaitlyn:
I'll root for the Saints, sure. But I'm not just about to jump on the bandwagon with all you fake-fans that just started liking them this year because the Saints aren't Aints anymore...
Honestly, I do not care for football in general. I like to pretend to get into it at random times if it is on, but in all actuality i know just about three things about football:
1. The teams switch sides after half time.
2. Kicking the football between the goal posts after a touchdown is called a field goal.
3. Offense runs the ball.(i think that means the crazy kid with the ball going towards the goal)
Sure,I'll go to a game or two a year maybe, but mainly for the social aspect.


Emily:
I think this may be the first post we've had the we actually have the same view on the topic. But really, I agree. I am not a football fan, and really am not a Saints fan. But it would simply be unethical to say I'm not proud of them. It's about time they made it!
I will be watching this year, as I have every year (ok, as I have been present during the game every year) mainly because it's just American culture. It's what you do.
Though, can I just say that all the bandwagon fans are really bugging me? Living in Louisiana for the most part of my life, I have grown up around many die hard Saints fans (mostly my father's age) who loved the Saints even when they always lost. But now when they're winning, of course, everyone's a fan! Where were you when they sucked huh?
At least I can say I'm in the same place I was then.haha.
On the flipside, I cant stand when people root for the other team and bad mouth the Saints just because they want to be different and look cool. Can I just take this space to say - that is not cool, really. It is irritating, really.
Either way, I'm a little excited..mainly because I get to wear this sweet shirt my wonderful boy bought me, and I get to try out a few Super Bowl recipes! :)


We like Elvis..and We like the Saints...but...we're just not sure how we feel about the combination of the two..
