Saints Win Super Bowl

Jan 152009
 

well, the Super Bowl ad contest at least….

From ProFootballTalk.com:

The winner was/is Saints defensive back Usama Young.  His ad, in which he talks about his time spent selling popcorn and candy at Redskins games while growing up, will be aired during the February 1 Super Bowl broadcast.

“I am thankful to have been blessed with the ability to play professional ball,” Young said in a release.  “The fact that I can now share my story with millions of people across the world is an indescribable feeling.”

Here’s a link to the video: http://superad.nfl.com/players/?vid=saints_usama_young

Sadly, this is the only thing the Saints seem to be able to win.

Also sadly, the video is not very good.  Jake Delhomme’s is better. Who dat.

In other Saints news, Gregg Williams is now our defensive coordinator!  Pay no attention to the Jaguars defense he coached last year, he did well with the Redskins and Bills (though not as a head coach) and went to the Super Bowl with the Titans in 2000.  Also, rumor is, he actually calls blitzes during real NFL football games.  He’s known for running wacky hairbrained defensive schemes, so he should fit right in as a nice complement to our wacky haribrained offensive schemes.

Physical Therapy!

Today I picked up thirty marbles with my toes and put them in a cup while Leslie laughed at me!

Physical therapy is great!

Here’s me walking away:

I turned in my letter of resignation today at my job.  It made me sad.

But now it is official.  My last day is February 6 at Georgia Tech, and my first day is February 16 at the Historic New Orleans Collection.  Tell your friends and neighbors.

Leslie and I are moving to New Orleans!

I wasn’t going to release my list this year, but having now seen how my 2007 list scaled the elbuzzard heights last year, well I am hopelessly moved to act.

2. The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao- Junot Diaz
3. Winter’s Bone- Daniel Woodrell
4. The Boy Detective Fails- Joe Meno
