Growing up in Canada, the only football I could watch was the Canadian League and Montreal Alouettes were not back yet. But in the newspaper in the Sports section, I would always have an eye on the NFL. Since no Canadian teams were represented in the NFL, I chose a team I could like and follow. First thing I did is to look at every teams logo and when I saw New Orleans Saints Fleur de Lys as their logo, I decided to root for them. Fleur de Lys is the flower in the Quebec flag.
I bought a jacket of the Saints that I wore during my High school years. The team had numerous rough seasons most of the time but this year, they are good. I also like the Bills now, because I live here.
Tonight, I had the chance to watch the Saints on NBC while packing for my trip. It's rare to catch them so I enjoy it a lot. They destroyed the Cowboys easily and it was fun to see them on the field. At 42-17 and close to another TD, they decided to run the clock down. They are now second seed in the National Conference with 3 weeks to go. Maybe it's their year. Congratulation to that organization who had a rough time last year after Katrina.
Good job to the Bills for their victory versus the Jets also today.
Tomorrow I will be on the plane for 22 hours before seeing my wife. Then I will continue the Tales there.
