Mass exodus down St. Charles Ave.
One of two helicopters on the scene.
Pimp my ride.

The early crowd on St. Charles Ave.
I love how they sneaked the "e" in there.

Cool pictures, but I have a few questions…
What was Colston doing on the DB float? Shouldn’t he have been with the other WRs?
Where was GW? And Joe Lombardi and the rest of the coaching staff?
I thought I heard there were 10 floats… did I mishear? If not, where are the pictures of #10?
Isn't that Sharper?
I thought it was Colston at first too, but since it’s the DB float, I figured it was actually Sharper, you just can’t see the left part of the 4.

I was on the right side of the floats and saw Colston tossing beads from the WR float.

Does anybody know
if this is the first time ESPN has covered a victory parade like they did. I think ESPN NEWS covered for about 2 hrs.Hope the other nation got a chance to see a little of the party.

There's never been a victory parade like this one before. :-)
I think I remember seeing “highlights” from other “parades”, but this one was SO different. I think it was awesome for the city to show the rest of the country and world how we celebrate.
Pigs have flown! Hell has frozen over! The Saints HAVE WON the Superbowl!!
What was Lance Moore's problem?
I wasn’t at the parade, but from the WWL feed on NFLN and pics on the internet, I didn’t see him smile once.
Am I just seeing things?
WHO DAT
Reggie wears his sunglasses an night.
Snap, place, kick! And it's good! It's good! It's goo-hoo-hood! Pigs have flown! Hell Has frozen over! The Saints are going to the Superbowl!

I love this story my friend Tweeted:
Some people behind us held up a sign that had a hole in it & a net attached to the back. It read “Who Dat say dey gonna hit this target?”…
Drew Brees saw it, picked up a bag of beads, shuffled his feet a bit, & hummed the beads right into the tiny net.He was so proud of himself.
Tracy Porter's gonna score! TRACY PORTER'S GONNA SCORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (HT Takimoto)
I want video of THAT!
