SUNDAY!  It may be the day of the Lord, but here in New Orleans today is a also a day of mourning!  There's only one thing people take seriously down here and that's football.  Okay, they also take drinking and sex seriously, but that's just because they've been doing both since 3rd grade.  Anyway, last night the New Orleans Saints lost their football game here in the Superdome and the aftermath wasn't pretty.  Drunken fist fights, gunshots, arson - and that was just at church this morning!

Look, it wasn't always this way.  Just 24 hours ago Saints fever gripped the city.  Thousands of fans took to the streets yesterday before game, drinking, cheering, drinking, yelling and drinking.  It was a happy mob scene all over the city with big expectations for another New Orleans win and a continued perfect 14-0 season.  People in cars and trucks cruised the streets honking and cheering - Kevin even hopped in one truck and cruised the city for awhile, but he was bonking and jeering so they left him on a corner in the 9th Ward.

By game time, Bourbon Street was flooded with fans - all searching for a bar with a big screen TV and a pirated connection to the NFL Cable Network.  It was a mini-Mardi Gras until......until the Saints LOST!  Okay, the downside of having to drop out of school in 4th grade because you're pregnant  or in the burn unit because your crack lab blew up, is that you never really develop critical thinking skills.  You never really learn to consider the alternative outcome of situations like, "what if the Saints lose?"  Clearly this option came as a total surprise to most fans and they reacted with anger, rage, violence and...and....and.....lots of drinking and sex - WE LOVE NEW ORLEANS!....

      
            Kevin made it all the way to the 9th Ward!                                 The search for free cable TV to watch the game!

      
Pregnant in 4th grade means you can get welfare in 5th grade!                  The Saints lost?  I never considered that!
