First lets be clear this is just more than New Orleans. It is the surrounding communities and the entire State that no matter where you are at if live here were affected by Rita and Katrina. It is also big for many people in Mississippi that also Saints fans and people in Bama. People are struggling here and we know the World wants to get pass our story. All we see on TV is the 9th ward and people forget that pretty much Coastal Louisiana and Mississippi was pretty much thrown for a loop that Septemeber month. Again it affect areas 100 miles away from the Coast. THis team is different. THey have gone out of their way to bond with the community. THey played preseason games in Shreveport and Jackson. Had training camp in Mississippi. I could go on and on. It is like the ole days where there was real id btween the team and the city. When I go to a Saints game it has the excitement and intensity of heated college games. The players are saying that too. Instead of bashing this the NFL should be learning from it. I wonder how much better the NFL would be if players bonded with their region like this organization has. Goodness well to start.

Knock the team, knock the players. Whatever. Love the city and what they're doing for it.
