Some Repercussions

It’s football season, y’all!

The New Orleans Saints football team traveled to Charlotte, North Carolina today to play Cam Newton and Co. The Saints were 0-2 going into the game and were expected to lose, which they do at a regular clip when they’re on the road.

BUT--they won. Saints 34-Panthers 13.

This win had quite an effect:

1) I thought I had tuned in to the wrong game when I heard the Saints were leading in the first half. I immediately contacted a friend to confirm that I was not hallucinating. He said, “No, you’re not hallucinating, but welcome to the Twilight Zone.”

2) The entire state of Louisiana rose 40 feet above sea level in sheer relief.

3) Many people cautiously removed the paper bags from their heads at half-time. By the end of the game Louisiana stock in paper bags had dropped precipitously. Check the Dow.

4) The very faithful (or very foolhardy), took a long-odds gamble and won a whole lot of money.

Well, we’re on a roll, Saints fans. Let’s see if this wild winning streak of ONE continues next week. Stay tuned.
