If you are a football fanatic that watches several games all week long, or if you are just one that tolerates it and spends the whole time commenting on the colors of the uniforms, last nights Monday night game was fun to watch.
The New Orleans Saints hosted the Atlanta Falcons. IM sure it was pretty emotional for everyone who was their experiencing the city becoming somewhat normal again. Living across the country, I don't have a sense of reality of what really took place. You see the pictures of devastation and you feel bad, but to me it just seemed like another third world country. It was hard to believe that it was right here.
I didn't understand at first why they spent so much time and money on the dome when there are thousands of houses that have been destroyed, but after last night it is easy to see why. The Saints are a symbol for the city. They represent what New Orleans is and when people see the dome open, they see a little normalcy come back to their lives.
And the Saints stomped all over Atlanta, which wasn't good for me because I have Vick on my fantasy team.
