Miracle Monday

Who ever said Miracles don't happen never lived in New Orleans....Its ESPN and Monday Night Football, The entire world is watching as the N.O. Saints take on the Atlanta Falcons....In the Superdome...In New Orleans...To say it was emotional is putting it mildly...The city was hyped, the players were hyped, the News media was hyped. It was the first time the Saints have played in the Dome or even IN New Orleans in over a year, a lot was riding on this game it was a new beginning...The last images of the Superdome was of death, despair abandonment...But on On Miracle Monday..After a 180 million dollar overhaul the Dome was ready to show herself off to the world....New seats, lighting, scoreboards etc...She is beautiful but can she make the sadness fade away...
YES, SHE CAN! It was emotional from the time the Dome was re-introduced till the last minute of the game. There was tears of relief, joy and ultimately happiness.....The Saints played their hearts out for the city of New Orleans..They had stood behind this team again and again over the years but this was different -one word-Katrina.By the time the game started at 7:45pm cst the Saints were a sellout for the rest of the season...Yep..NO TICKETS LEFT...All blackouts will be lifted...And the Saints were now "American's" Team....
The Saints plowed all over their rival team from Atlanta...We never if ever beat this team on a good day..But the Gods were smiling down on us and Miracle Monday would be different.
The New Orleans Saints beat Atlanta,23-3, and the city of New Orleans has a sliver of hope for tomorrow,if we can beat Atlanta we can beat anything...
I was never a Saints fan but last night they made me a Believer...I can't wait till Sunday's game and watch my home team play...
Welcome Home Boys! We missed you!
