FORT LAUDERDALE, FLA. — Here’s a scary thought for the rest of the NFL:
What if the New Orleans Saints aren’t one-year wonders?
What if they’re here for a while?
What if they’re — dare I say it — an emerging dynasty?
It might sound crazy. After all, the Saints had to wait 43 years to win their first world title.
But laugh not.
The Saints are poised for a lengthy run of contention.
Feb
09MIAMI – Shortly before the start of the third quarter of Super Bowl XLIV, while the 74,059 fans at Sun Life Stadium were rocking out to the raucous climax of The Who’s “Won’t Get Fooled Again,” New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton put on a crowd-pleasing performance in the visitors’ locker room.
“Listen, we’re gonna run ‘Ambush’ to start the second half,” Payton told his players, referring to an onside-kick call the team had practiced repeatedly in the two weeks leading up to Sunday’s showdown with the Indianapolis Colts. “We’re playing this game to win it. We’ve got all the bullets; we might as well use ‘em. So you’d better get on that damn ball and make me look good.”
The Saints howled their approval, then headed back onto the field with a bounce in their step. Trailing by four points against the seemingly indomitable Peyton Manning(notes), New Orleans would be fueled by the audacity of hope as it had all season.
FORT LAUDERDALE, FLA. — Watching the happy Who Dats and New Orleans Saints sharing the love, watching the tears flow from fans and players alike, I couldn’t help wondering: Will they be the exception to the rule?
Today, the Saints and the adoring Who Dat Nation are like lovers just back from the honeymoon, still glowing with the memories, ready to spend the next months looking at the snap shots, watching the videos, convinced their special time will never end.
And it has been very special.
Super Bowl MVP Drew Brees appeared on Monday’s (February 8) “The Late Show with David Letterman.”
“That’s one of the things you love about New Orleans,” Brees said. “We know how to throw a party.”
MIAMI
It’s become clear, over the last five or six months, that the New Orleans Saints struck a perfect balance when Sean Payton put his defense in the hands of Gregg Williams, the wily, outspoken defensive coordinator who walks the walk and definitely likes to talk the talk.
So when the Saints had completed their mission on Sunday night at Sun Life Stadium, when they scored a resounding 31-17 victory over the favored Indianapolis Colts in Super Bowl XLIV, the media throng around Williams’ podium in the interview area easily exceeded Payton’s.
That’s OK with Payton, who gave up about $250,000 of his own annual salary to lure Williams, the longtime defensive coordinator, from the Jacksonville Jaguars. Payton had seen what Williams could do, not only strategically but in the locker room. Williams likes to challenge his players. Williams likes to challenge himself.
Williams likes to push the envelope.
