New Orleans Saints Come Marching In as Obama Basks in the Sporting Life
By Alex Wagner - Politics DailyThough there were shouts of "Who dat?!" at the White House on Monday morning, everyone was well aware of who was visiting the East Room: The New Orleans Saints, winners of Super Bowl XLIV, had come to town to meet President XLIV of the United States, Barack Obama. The Marine Band dropped "Hail to the Chief" in favor of "When the Saints Go Marching In" and a parade of very large men entered the room, many of whom were taking their own digital photos or camera-phone snaps. ("You take pictures of us and we take pictures of you!" said one player to the press pool.) It's been nearly six months to ...
Drew Brees, Mitch Landrieu, and the Pre-Lenten Gift NOLA Gave Itself
By Carl M. Cannon - Politics DailyAs long as there is music in the French Quarter, they will talk about the onside kick that started the New Orleans Super Bowl comeback, Drew Brees' pinpoint passing, and the electric moment when Louisiana native Tracy Porter picked off an errant Peyton Manning pass and took the ball 74 yards for a touchdown that clinched the Saints' Super Bowl victory and ended 42 years worth of frustration for the Saints faithful. It was a Super Sunday, all right, and the town was jammed with happy fans who rejoined from the Domilise's Po-Boys in Uptown -- the Manning family's favorite restaurant -- to the ...

Sean Payton Sleeps with Lombardi Trophy: 'There's Nothing Like it'
By Nancy Gay - AOL NewsFORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. -- With confetti and congratulations pouring down on him after Sunday's 31-17 Super Bowl XLIV ambush of the favored Indianapolis Colts, New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton – a guy who likes to celebrate -- said he wasn't sure he would make it to the traditional Monday morning winners' news conference. He showed up, hair uncombed, bleary eyed, looking every bit like someone who had just spent a sleepless night. Except that Payton did get some shut-eye, with some interesting company at his side. Holding the Lombardi Trophy in his hands as he faced the cameras one ...

Jeremy Shockey Determined to Make Super Bowl Mark
By Thomas George - AOL NewsMIAMI -- Jeremy Shockey is flamboyant. Jeremy Shockey is reserved. Jeremy Shockey is a hothead. Jeremy Shockey is cool. Jeremy Shockey is a rascal. Jeremy Shockey is a good citizen and teammate. Welcome to Jeremy Shockey's world. Few NFL players draw ire and praise like Shockey. Few are as imposing as this 6-foot-4, 251-pound tight end for the New Orleans Saints. He missed Super Bowl XLII with the New York Giants due to a broken left leg suffered late in the 2007 season. This time around, in Super Bowl XLIV, Shockey enters nursing an injured right knee but said he is ready. "I'm going to play ...
Census Matchup: New Orleans vs. Indianapolis
By Steve Pendlebury - AOL News(Feb. 3) -- Football analysts will spend this week crunching numbers to predict whether the Saints or the Colts will win Super Bowl XLIV.

(Figures are from 2008, the latest available.) Source: U.S. Census Bureau 2008 American Community Survey Source: U.S. Census Bureau 2008 American Community Survey Source: U.S. Census ...

Superdome Is Super Again for the Saints
By Michelle Ruiz - AOL News(Jan. 24.) – It goes without saying that if the Saints go marching to the Super Bowl, there's going to be partying in New Orleans, Mardi Gras-style. But there is also going to be raw emotion in the Louisiana Superdome. Five years ago, there was no power, no plumbing and no hope at the stadium for 30,000 homeless survivors of Hurricane Katrina. There were holes in the roof and major damage to seats, walls, wires and carpeting. The fate of the people, their team and the stadium were in flux. On Sunday, a renovated Superdome is souped-up and sold-out as the Saints battle the Minnesota ...
Saints Top Worst-to-First Power Rankings
By Dan Graziano - AOL NewsAmid all these NFL predictions flooding the web this week there are few certainties. But if recent history is any indication, we know for sure that at least one of this year's division winners will be a team that finished in last place a year ago. At least one team has turned the trick every year since the NFL went to the current eight-division format -- 10 teams total in six seasons. The Dolphins did it last year, the Buccaneers the year before, and the Eagles and Saints the year before that.The reasons for this phenomenon are obvious -- overall parity, four-team divisions, a scheduling ...
