Lombardi visits Shreveport

I couldn't believe my eyes when I read the Shreveport Times this morning. The Lombardi and some "unnamed" Saints players are coming to Shreveport on Thursday. The mayor also said a Superbowl ring will be on display. I will be going to see these for sure. I am so glad that the Saints organization is reaching out to the entire region of Saints fans. I think we are the first stop on the tour. They are going to Monroe and some sites in Mississippi too.

I'm sure Cowboys fans in Shreveport will be lining up to see it.

GTFO. In all seriousness it is actually getting better. The reason for all the Cowboys fans around here (aside from the proximity to Dallas) is because the Saints were so bad for such a long time, the affiliates around here would show the Cowboys games so people rarely got the chance to watch the chance to see the Saints play. Hard to be a fan of a team if you can't watch their games. But the Fox affiliate here (which is a sorry piece of shite) has gotten better about showing Saints games. Thank God.

There are a ton of Saints fans in Shreveport. I know, bc I was one of them before I moved to Texas. A lot of people think that there's nothing but Cowboy fans around there, bc the people voted to have the local station air Cowboy games. What they don't know is, that tv station covers a bigger population in Texas than in Louisiana. It was the Texas folks who put Dallas over the top in that vote.
There's only one team that has more fans in Shreveport than the New Orleans Saints, and it ain't the Dallas Cowboys.

The New Orleans Saints' Championship Tour will make a stop in Shreveport on July 8 from 10 a.m.-6 p.m. at the Shreveport Convention Center.
"I've always believed the Saints should make every effort possible to reach out to all areas of the state of Louisiana," Shreveport Mayor Cedric Glover said during a news conference Friday at the convention center.
"We know New Orleans represents one of the smallest markets in the NFL. In order for us to be an NFL state, it's taken the support and sacrifice of Louisianans from Shreveport to Mamou and from Monroe to Mandeville to make this happen. We are thankful the Saints have worked with various groups involved to help make this possible."
The tour begins July 7 in Monroe and will hit 10 cities across the Gulf South region. Six Louisiana cities — Monroe, Shreveport, Lafayette, Lake Charles, Baton Rouge and Houma — are on the itinerary. The tour also stops in Jackson, Miss., Biloxi-Gulfport, Miss., Mobile, Ala., and Pensacola, Fla.
"Our fans are the inspiration and foundation of our success," Saints owner Tom Benson said in a statement. "It is important to me and our organization to share these symbols of our championship with as many of our fans throughout the Gulf South as possible."
Among the symbols on the tour are the Lombardi Trophy, the Halas Trophy (NFC champion), Drew Brees' Super Bowl-worn jersey and helmet and the official Super Bowl ring.
"It's coming in a size 13," Glover said while flashing his ring finger. "That's just the right size for yours truly and I'll be happy to serve as the official spokesmodel."
Doors will open at 10 a.m., but convention center general manager Sam Voisin expects the setup to begin in the wee hours of Thursday morning. Part of the event, which is free to the public, is a version of the Saints Experience, an interactive setup with games, and a performance by the Saintsations. A yet-to-be-announced Saints player will also attend the festivities.
Glover cited the city's relationship with SMG regional manager Doug Thornton, a native Shreveporter and Woodlawn High School alumnus, for helping land a spot on the tour.
"I do not, in any way, want to undervalue the role Shreveporter Doug Thornton played in terms of helping this," Glover said. "He's been a great supporter and a great friend to the city. Doug has been there advocating on our behalf in the very days after the Super Bowl."
