he has been given the golden parachute
A 40-yard field goal in overtime by a little-known kicker could become as famous as jambalaya in these parts.
The New Orleans Saints, a team with no home and an uncertain future five years ago, are heading for their first Super Bowl. By battering Brett Favre and beating the Minnesota Vikings 31-28 Sunday, they set off celebrations on Bourbon Street that locals never could have imagined in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.

"This is for everybody in this city," said coach Sean Payton, the architect of the Saints' turnaround. "This stadium used to have holes in it and used to be wet. It's not wet anymore. This is for the city of New Orleans."

the last quarter and a half of this game has been excruciating
from a brees pick on the 4 to a missed 29 yarder to sea kicking a fg down 18 after first and goal from the 4 to sea recovering the onsides kick to that guy being out of bounds to jones scoring a td to it being called back because of a penalty to no converting 2 third downs on this last drive
it's like nobody really wants to cover and/or is trying to give it away
