that might have been the worst article ive ever read. "inebriated with the exuberance of their own verbosity" ...what a fuckin homo
Yep, that was my thought too. It might be one of those "signs of the apocalypse" when quoting some clown who posts on the internet is expected to be viewed as a serious criticism of the team they root for.
Its hard to get very riled up by an article like that. So silly and typically light hearted. I love NOLA and will root for the Saints after Sunday and hope we meet them in the Super Bowl.
Talking smack about 2 teams that have rings. Yes, the Jets won back in 69 and have not come close since 98...but smack talking the Giants? nad smack talking nicknames? Who the hell fears a Saint?
There are plenty guys on the Esplanade side of Bourbon St that would agree with you. Definately not me though, but it takes all kinds of people to make this world go round.
I kinda like puddinhead... wilson. No, puddinhead actually put that ridiculous stretch of a thesis in perspective, which i appreciate. Now, I won't consider the srticle representative of anything.
i liked the piece. not really a sports analysis, but still better than 99% of the 'dribble' we get from our home rags.
Shit, I really think I should move back to LA and become a sports reporter in New Orleans. Even I could write a better piece of analysis of my next oponent. How does crap like this even get published?
Chris Rose is not a sports writer. He is a "man about town" writer for the Times Picayune, the local paper, who turned into a serious journalist chronicling the city in the months after Katrina. He wrote about it in the Pulitzer Prize finalist book "One Dead In Attic". I don't expect anyone from NYC to get his writing. It is for and to New Orleans. From what I gather,though, we are more alike than different when it comes to the rest of America. My grandfather and his family are New Yorkers. I am a Saints fan all the way, though. They, the Saints, are New Orleans. Here is to a good, injury free game. I wish you the best of luck with the remainder of your season.
As I said, it is not for you. It is for New Orleans. You can never understand unless you were in the city for Katrina and the years after. You can never understand what part the Saints played in getting us over the hump. It is all there in the post. Ignore it if it bothers you. It is not for you. It is a message to us.
