Around SBN: Ellenberger vs. Sanchez Heats Up, Hughes Talks Retirement

Are you infected with Who Dat Fever?

No temperature. No nausea. No headaches.
Strange.. I feel 100% healthy, but I know I still have the Who Dat fever.
And truth is I don't want to get over this sickness.
From all reports too, this fever has spread throughout the nation, maybe the world.
Evidence: the Saints-Colts Superbowl was THE most-watched TV show in the history of television. More than 106 milions viewers was last count I saw.
My independent study (do not ask how I derived at this.. super-double probation kinda stuff) shows that a whopping majority of this 106 milllion were infected with mild cases of Who Dat, but upon Porter's game-ending INT for TD they were all full-blown Who Dat infected.
Symptoms you ask?
- Daily need to wear black-and-gold shirts, feather boas, Saints championship hats
- Now own an authentic Saints jersey and believe wearing it at all functions is appropriate
- Search for anything mentioning or showing Drew Brees, his wife or his son, Baylen
- Attended the Superbowl in Miami and now have several new Who Dat friends on Facebook

- Laugh that only 11 Colts fans greeted their team after Superbowl loss 
- Re-read The Times Picayune stories on Mondat
- Have forwarded countess priceless pictures of Saints Superbowl photos, ie Payton sleeping with the Lombardi trophy
- Have recounted multiple stories of someone you know who has seen Payton holding the Lombardi Trophy at Ruth's, parades, on floats, in hotel lobbies, at post-parade parties, etc
- Have waited in line for hours post-Superbowl to get a Saints player autograph
- You have renamed the days of the week: Mondat, Truedat, WeDat, Drewdat, Fridat, Saintsdat, WhoDat
- Endlessly planning where you will hang the framed front-page headline, "Amen!" and other Superbowl stuff
- Keep "Get Crunk" on your iPod and in your car CD player, and when played must roll down windows and blare at ear-splitting decibels
- Have created an iPhone "Get Crunk" ringtone (guilty...)
- Have watched the NFL reply of the Superbowl no less than 3 times
 - Every time you see Porter's INT, you jump up, scream and re-live that feeling like it's happening in real time
- Weeks later, still ask yourself constantly, "The Saints are the World Champions, aren't they?"
- When any Jim Henderson Superbowl play-by-play is re-played, stop whatever you are doing, listen, get goosebumps and tears as if you're hearing it for first time
- Have held a Superbowl Replay Party (I will be doing this soon!)
- Counting the days til Sept. 9 Thursday night Opening Game
- Thank God you are a Season Ticket holder
- Pray to God a Season Ticket holder offers you tickets to game's next year

If you are experiencing these symptoms, don't panic, don't schedule a doctor's appointment... just remain calm.. unless of course "Get Crunk" starts playing, then you must bob up and down, wave arms in the air, sing the words and chant "Who Dat Who Dat!!!"

Have held a Superbowl Replay Party

Sounds like a pretty good idea. Maybe I’ll try that.

Great idea!

I have the original and the 2 hour NFL Reply on my DVR… And the Sound FX and the NFL Film Presents and the “Championship Chase” (came on before the SB).

It could be an all day “Saints Fest”!

Pigs have flown! Hell has frozen over! The Saints HAVE WON the Superbowl!!

I made a bet with the owner of my usual haunt,

I have a Monday Times Picayune in a glass case hanging up in a bar full of cowboy fans all the way through the off season. No more of their fear the star crap, it’s FEAR THE FLEUR!

no such luck,

but while I was living in Houston, I met a lawyer in The Woodlands who also has an office in Covington. We were comparing notes on who’s a bigger Who Dat when he handed me a picture of his wife, as a Saintsation! He wins, but it just goes to show, you never know where those Who Dats are lurking.

lol

I just “reported” a Yahoo! answers user’s question, which was asking how the saints can be considered champions and the vikings and colts are better…i put a complaint to yahoo about that question (and answer) being defamation to the Saints.

Infected? I'm crawling with it.

I need a shot of Saints-acillin. Here in Texas I told all my Cowboy fan co-workers (and other teams) they must address them as the World Champion Saints or Supa Saints for short. I have braggin’ rights for a full year. And I say Who-Dat at least 3 times a day. Nice read.

Like it.

Make sure you add in things like: “Were you cowgirl fans even born the last time the cowboys won a superbowl?”
