What the frick are you talking about? RR is saying that watching her Saints for three hours a week helped her forget illness if only briefly. How is that the same as cheering when someone gets hurt?

I thought it was a great commercial. I have a buddy with cancer and its the same with him. His week isnt always great but on Sunday afternoon (and Saturday when the Rebels lose... i mean play) when the Saints play, all of that goes away. It may only be for only a couple of hours but its time when his thoughts are completely distracted from the seriousness of his condition and he's in peace.

Football/being a fan, can be a lifesaver, maybe not physically but instead mentally. Which is half the battle in dealing with a serious illness.

just my thoughts, love the commercial
