ESPN Stats & Info This is 7th Super Bowl at Superdome, the most for any stadium (3 stadiums have hosted 5). (HansDat note: this number seems high to me - are they mistakenly counting any of the Tulane Stadium SBs in this total?)

Larry Holder @bradhand Good job, dude!
Hamburguesa @LarryHolder Thanks brah. I was hoping to make it as different from Jeff's as possible. Not sure if I accomplished it.
Grandmaster Wang @bradhand Oh it was definitely different from Jeff's. By a mile. As usual. That's a big part of the reason we like you.
Hamburguesa @moosedenied Whoa! The readers like me? Thanks! I just try to be as fair as I possibly can.
Grandmaster Wang @bradhand You know we do. You and Larry are the bro-est of the Legits. This is common knowledge.
Hamburguesa @moosedenied News to me, but appreciated.
Ralph Malbrough @moosedenied @bradhand the issue for me is Goodell's punishment he gave Saints didn't fit a crime he couldn't even prove.
Hamburguesa @MilneMalbrough @moosedenied I don't deny punishment didn't fit crime, but he also never had to prove it to the public. Should have? Yes.
Ralph Malbrough @bradhand @moosedenied Goodell dropped equivalent of a Nuclear bomb on the Saints, for that reason evidence needed to make it open & shut
Grandmaster Wang I have a nomination for Saints defensive backs coach: Current USC graduate assistant Sammy Knight
Ralph Malbrough "@moosedenied: I have a nomination for Saints defensive backs coach: Current USC graduate assistant Sammy Knight" I second
skooks @moosedenied @bradhand I second Wang's sentiments
