The Surreal Dome

The Surreal Dome       

 

It was a game like no other.

We lost, and we danced.

The Saints have never seen a more meaningful reaction to a meaningless game.

To know we were in the playoffs, with a first round bye, without having to win was just surreal.

A few left early, but really not that many.

We stayed to appreciate this team and what it has accomplished

We stayed to soak it in, and dance and cheer even in a loss.

I haven’t been waiting 40 years to leave early.

 

What started out as an unlikely 3 hour tour has now been extended 16 times, with more to come.

Drew Brees plays Gilligan, flinging oval things around in a way that just seems to work out.

Sean Payton is the Professor, offering up his madcap inventions, and never letting up on the throttle.

Tom Benson is Mr. Howell, the rich eccentric who’s not really sure what’s going on, but he’s going to enjoy it.

And Ginger and Mary Ann?

Reggie and Deuce.  Which one would you choose?

I could go on, but I think you have the picture.  None of us really expected this when we left port, but we don’t really want to be found – not just yet.

 

Three Victories to go.

Then you can come rescue us.
