New Orleans Saints

Well, if you have read Macey's blog, you have seen the post about the Saints. The New Orleans Saints are my absolute favorite NFL team. Here is how it began...
Some time last year, near the end of football season, I kept seeing things on tv when my dad was watching sports about this team that I had never heard of before. There were many teams that I had never really heard of ,before last year, besides the ones you hear of all the time like the Colts, Giants, Bengals, Cowboys etc., but this team just kept popping up on commercials and such when I was in the room. Just a few days later my dad was watching a football game and I happened to ask who was playing. Oddly enough, he answered that the Saints and Bears were playing. I was curious and sat down and began watching which then the only football games I ever watched were Super Bowls. This all happened within a few days or a week. After that I started liking them. I don't think that they were very good last year that is why I never heard of them before. Years and years ago even the fans wore paper bags over their heads when they went to Saints games because they were ashamed. Anyway, when I started talking about them and wearing Saints apparel, my friends would laugh at me because they wondered why I liked this team that they had never even heard of and who didn't even play very well. I stuck with my team and was excited about this football season.
Well, right now after 11 games played this season, the Saints are one out of two teams undefeated! They have played amazing this year and are getting quite popular. Monday night, in fact, they crushed the Patriots (who were recently in the super bowl) 38 to 17. I am still very proud of the boys and keep up with them now. I started liking them when they were uncool and not very good, but they have come back and gotten a name for themselves. It makes me so happy. Now my friends are even starting to like them and watch their games. Anyway, that is the story. The Saints will be playing the Redskins Sunday. Go Saints!!!
