10-7 (and that's cool...)
No tight pic today guys, I'm not into it.
My New Orleans Saints are 10-7, they got knocked the heck out, smacked, pw3nd. 10-7 is a police code for "out of order". So if you ever hear me say 10-7, it means done, finished, 86'd. I've enjoyed the term 10-7 for a long long time. It's old school for me. And it's about as handy a phrase yall is down here in the south.
That's one thing about sports, unless you win it all, EVERY season comes to a crashing hault, hard and fast.
So, anyways, after a night of sulking in my own misery, I picked myself up out of a pool of my own vomit and drool and went to bed...after a shower. The next day I began to reflect on the truly momumental season my team had. My boys kicked a lot of tail this year, when they weren't expected to, and that's cool.
Maybe I/we got greedy as Saints fans. We wanted more and more and more. A strong showing in a season after 3-13 wasn't good enough, just making the playoffs wasn't good enough, the NFC championship game, WASN'T GOOD ENOUGH. But such is human nature. And I'm not different, I was disappointed because they didn't make it to the big dance and that's cool.
The sense of urgency for the fans was there because, I guess, we have a lot of making up to do in the world of professional football.
Whatever.
The bottom line for me...I had a great time, I now hold memories I'll have for the rest of my life and we have the makings of a GREAT team and that's cool.
They always say "Maybe Next Year", next year finally made it and it was great. To tell you the truth, the future is bright with this bunch, and I can't wait for next season!
People ask if something as seemingly insignificant as a football team can have such a big impact on a community that has been utterly devestated by a disaster like Katrina, after what I experienced this season, hail yeah...
And that's cool...
