So how unglued did the folks in New Orleans become over the past two weeks? The author of the Our New Orleans Saints blog thought they'd get away from football for a bit and pay a visit to the Monster Truck Rally at the Louisiana Superdome on Jan. 30. But a Saints rally broke out anyway.
After the Nitro truck with the SAINTS flag won, the fun really began. I suppose it is called Trailer rally. It is a kind of last man standing race? Cars pulling trailers, some empty, some with boats, some with U-Haul somewhere on the side still came flying into the circle. Two SAINTS (Black and Gold) cars came rolling out with COLTS coffins on their trailer. Real fun. I was waiting for Maximus to be chanted from the Flavian Amphitheatre.

Yes, I'm sure that turned the tide. But now we take you to downtown New Orleans, circa early Sunday evening, as the people go mental over their first Super Bowl victory. This photo kind of says it all, I suppose. Also it's never too late to take a shot at Favre.
Meanwhile, the last time I checked the Jackson Square Cam, it was 5:30 a.m. New Orleans time, and there was just one guy passed out on a bench, sans pants. Good night, sweet prince. This was a long time coming.
