You may or may not be aware that the New Orleans' Saints are currently undefeated. Today's game against the New York Giants proved that the team is a forced to be reckoned with. Needless to say, Saints QB Drew Brees shredded New York for 369 yards passing and four touchdowns. Next week we will see New Orleans very own facing the 2-3 Miami Dolphins. Given the teams record, it shouldn't be too much of a problem.Enough with the stats. The New Orleans Saints do more than give New Orleanians and Tulanians alike a team to root for but also deeper pride in their city. After the hurricane, New Orleans was thrust into the the spotlight displaying the tragedy of the flood. However, the hurricane could never wash away the pride its citizens have in the city. When the New Orleans Saints had their first game after the storm in the Superdome, an aura of victory filled the 60,000 + capacity of the dome, a symbol for the catastrophe following the storm. This victory was felt before the Saints led an outstanding win over the Atlanta Falcons back in September of 2006. Then, the Superdome symbolized more than the anguish of its citizens but also their since of triumph that led so many back to start anew in their beloved city.
Whether you are a Saints fan or not, you must recognize that they are returning to become a team that has overcome the worst of odds - just like the city of New Orleans itself.
