The Uphill Struggle To Become A Successful Football Team!
First there was Hurricane Katrina with all its devastation, rendering New Orleans a "ghost town" for a short period of time. The citizens of the great City of New Orleans began to make their way back into the "Crescent City" and to rebuild their lives again from the heaps of ashes they found their very livelihood hanging. Each family clung to each other for hope and direction as they began to pick the pieces of their lives up and begin to rebuild again. Out of those ashes of devastation came a gift from the Most High above---a simple gift, in the form of a National Football Team, namely, "The New Orleans Saints." And they proved time and time again to be saints on the field and off the field for the City of New Orleans.
A Football Team That Transformed An Entire City!
With most of the people working and trying to reestablish themselves back into their homes, in the back ground was one of the most phenomenal events to ever effect an entire city, the making of a Powerhouse National Football Team that would totally transform the people of the City. During the week the people worked but, when Sunday came, these amazing people became fans of the New Orleans Saints and they would leave all their battle scars and problems at home as they came and watched their beloved team play, and get this, WIN! That in itself was an accomplish for the team as they were once known as the "aints."
America's Team---The New Orleans Saints!
You may be thinking, How can this author portray New Orleans as "America's Team?' Simple, I was one of those who lost everything I owned in the midst of Katrina only to become a part of the great awakening that was brought about through a National Football Team that God utilized to bring hope and restoration to an entire City. If no else else agree's with me, well, that's alright by me cause I realize the tremendous part this Football Team played in the rebuilding of the "Crescent City." We are the "WhoDat" Nation.....
The Regathering!
When Drew Brees brings the players together at the beginning of each game his chanting is a rallying for not only the victory the Saints will accomplish but for the rising of another stone in the Cities rebirth. Chant on Mr Brees, all the way to victory in the Super Bowl. Just as each piece of the puzzle was brought together, first came coach Sean Payton, then Drew Brees, Reggie Bush and the remainder of this great group of players who gave of themselves on and off the field to breath life back into the City of New Orleans. We're back, and plan to remain atop the charts for a long time to come, "The New Orleans Saints."
