And just who is New Orleans' patron saint?
Because I have my suspicions.
FACT: New Orleans was devastated last year by hurricane Katrina, uprooting thousands upon thousands of LOWER CLASS to lower middle class urban dwellers.
FACT: Superdome became symbol of New Orleans devastation
FACT: New Orleans Saints, also uprooted, had dismal season w/ poor qb, bad coaching and vagabond schedule. (Although when was the last time the Saints were good? Does anyone even know?)
FACT: Bush administration (read: media) was heavily criticized by people (read: media) for a slow and inadequate response to the hurricane
FACT: Promises were made that New Orleans would be restored to its former glory by many high-up people.
FACT: Sports in general and football in particular has great potential for forming ethos, especially among mass audiences (read: lower to lower middle class urban dwellers)
FACT: in 2006 NFL draft, Houston surprisingly took DE Mario Williams in the first round, leaving consensus # 1 pick Reggie Bush for...guess who?
FACT: All of a sudden, Saints have new high-powered offense, new qb, two new rb's, Reggie being one, and seemingly a lot of money to spread around.
FACT: Next Monday night, the Saints (2-0) will be playing the Falcons (2-0) in the newly refurbished Superdome, once a symbol of destruction and devastation, now the symbol of triumph, on ESPN's (read: ABC. read: Disney. read: MEDIA all caps) first year of hosting.
Haven't checked the odds on this one, but wouldn't be altogether surprised if the patron saint of New Orleans (read: whoever it is that really controls our country. read: once again, the media) bestows a benevolent blessing upon the indefatigable people down in creole country...And then buys the movie rights.
Now how is THAT for a conspiracy!

And you know what else? Rearrange the letters of "media" and you get "Die, ma!" which is very evil. The plot thickens even more -- into a quicksand-like death trap!
Quit talking out of your ass Grand Canyon mouth. Tom Throckmorton only exists in your mind and you know it.
So had he just not HEARD of Reggie Bush yet, being stuck all the way over there on the East Coast? Because I have a channel on tv called ESPN, and they used to talk about him sometimes.

What I like the best is how Nathan berates Kyle for making up Throckmorton and then immediately asks a question about Throckmorton, therefore validating (Throckmorton's) existence.
Well I think Houston should fire Throckmonton (if he existed) because he obviously did a poor job of SCOUTING. Because everyone else in the country, scout or not, imaginary or real, knew that Reggie was THE # 1 pick. And you are correct about one thing. I will never respect you.
