Saints News, 2/7/14: Saints Won Super Bowl XLIV Fours Years Ago Today

This is an important date in Who Dat history that deserves to be celebrated each year. Achieving a Super Bowl victory is a long and arduous road for which there is no one reliable path or formula. There's no way to know when the Saints will make it a TWO DAT, so we might as well remember the overwhelming joy we felt on February 7, 2010. Someone get out the Who Dat Festivus pole. Next we'll have the ceremonial Airing of Grievances followed by the Feats of Strength.
