I just want to remind everyone out there that we won the Super Bowl. We are the New Orleans Saints. I had never dreamed of this day as it was unobtainable for my entire life. Now ESPN is bashing the Saints for celebrating too much!!
Need I remind them we are the Saints, or Aints!!
On a team with numerous un-drafted players, a team of multiple second chances, with rookies and veterans alike.
How can you blame us for being happy.
Not to mention we still are the best team in the NFC starting next season.

It's a reminder of their incompetence and bias that they have been hoping people would forget.

I'll use a similar policy to what I follow on TD celebrations: If you don't like the celebration, don't let us win the Super Bowl.

ESPN can go frick themselves. We just won the Super Bowl for the first time ever and it just so happened to fall the week before the greatest party in the world. It's not my fault ESPN decided to set up shop in Connecticut where they're getting dumped on every miserable day by the snow Gods.

Who cares?

If they took a "Strippers and Cocaine for the Saints" collection right now it would raise over a million!

that bucket-headed hump Peter King raised the same question in his MMQB column.

he then went on to talk about how Manning's legacy shouldn't be effected by Porter's pick6.

Christ.

He also answered it in the negative, which few here seemed to have grasped: "Good for Loomis and the Saints. Players and coaches in this business say endlessly, like a mantra, that they're in this business to win a Super Bowl, and all our energy is focused on that. If five days after winning they say, OK, we've drawn a line in the sand, and we won't have any more talking about winning the Super Bowl. I mean, only an android would do that. Saints coach Sean Payton always had the tempo of the team in his hands, and the ability of Brees to see what was important (and when it was important, as in minimizing how poorly the team played in stretches near the end of the regular season) was a good leadership tool for the team. Until I see Payton with the lampshade on his head during a May minicamp, I say laissez les bons temps rouler. Let the good times roll.

Yeah not even close to celebrating too much.

First Saints Superbowl ever 43 years into the franchise.
Epic win against a great Colts team that has the most wins in a decade, picking off the "BEST" QB in the NFL, of which was talked about all week.
Did I mention FIRST Saints Superbowl? And FIRST Superbowl WIN?

And after putting all this into it, without even mentioning that MARDI GRAS is right about now, this is nothing even close to celebrating too much. They have the right to say we're celebrating too much, when were 1 week away from the pre-season. Now so they can't, just stop celebrating 2 weeks before the pre-season, and we're good.

I agree. Saints fans deserve to celebrate for a very long time. They've waited 43 years and there has been a lot of misery and a lot of tears along the way. This just goes to show that people on the outside have no idea how much this all means to saints fans and how long they have waited for this moment.
