September 19
...serving up your daily dish.
Plenty of tickets available to tonight's Saints "home opener" at Giants Stadium, as the field gets a gold and black makeover, 600 survivors from the Big Easy will be flown in for the event and Eddie Compass, the city's police chief, as well as George Bush Sr., will be on hand for the the coin flip.
"We're sympathetic, but once you step on the field, football's football," said defensive end Michael Strahan. "That guy across from me is not trying to be my friend once we're out there, and I'm not trying to be his, either. We're playing to win. We're not going out there to put on a show and let these guys win the game."
Strahan may not get the chance -- as of today, he still may be backing out due to back spasms. Will the Saints coming off a win pull another off tonight? And who are you rooting for?
i don't really have an allegiance to any football team, so i'm going Saints for pure touchy-feely emotional reasons.
just don't tell my dad. ;)

Geaux Saints!!!!
I wish we were going, but, alas... spending $200 four days before the house closing is not in the cards for me... (If anyone wants to... ahem... donate tickets to a nice New Orleans girl who hasn't seen her team play in nearly three years... ahem)...
I'll be cheering (loudly) from the safety of my couch.
