Anyone who knows me (you have my deepest sympathies) knows I'm not only a New Orleans native but also a lifelong frustrated New Orleans Saints fan. I have endured mediocrity and low expectations for athletic excellence (both in the Saints and in myself, who knew "Street Fighter II" wouldn't count towards a Phys. Ed. credit?) my entire life. But this Sunday, all of that changes.

My beloved Saints are going to the big show for the first time in 43 years and I'm not only going to be rooting for my hometown boys with all of my being, but I'm going to ride this gravy train until I strike mashed potato.
