Your New Orleans Saints are World Champions!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you all so much for a season full of support and encouragement. Drew said it best at the parade. “We won this Super Bowl for the best fans in the world.” I can’t say enough about all of you and how great you all were for the past 27 weeks (Wow! That’s a long season). Lets celebrate this win for a good while this off-season, and then lets go to Dallas next February. Who Dat!!!!!!!!!! GEAUX SAINTS!!!!!!!

The family celebrating

I really can’t explain how excited Mandy and I are right now. Let me just take a second to thank all of the fans so so much for their incredible support. I can’t believe how much energy you all can bring into that dome every week. I know that everyone will remember that moment in the dome when the ball flew through the uprights for a long time. We have one more week left to finish this great ride of a season and it’s great to know we have the Who Dat Nation behind us. See you in Miami!!!!

Hey, it’s Mandy! I couldn’t wait for Zach to get home… I HAD to post this photos! This is my dream! My boys in black and gold are 12-0 AND NFC South Division Champs! Ok, the photos go like this…. first, THE WINNING KICK! Second, Zach and Mike Bell are about to celebrate. And then….Big Zach picks up the AWESOME Mike Bell! Troy looks like he wants in, too! LOVE IT! I know Zach will write later, but I had to share! Thanks to Aunt Stephanie and Uncle Gary for attending the game and sending us these memorable moments! We love you!

Well, what can I say? Monday night was quite an experience for us all. Once again the Who Dat Nation showed up and made their presence felt…. really I can feel noise at these games. It was an amazing environment and I know our fans once again made it very difficult for a team to come into the dome and escape with a win. We all enjoyed this day off and tomorrow it’s off to get started on the Redskins. Don’t forget to get your tickets for the “Big Night Out.” They are almost gone… the response has been great and thank you so much for to all who have already purchased. We have collected some once in a lifetime auction items and you don’t want to miss your opportunity to purchase. Just as a little teaser… how about a black and gold blue dog print signed by your favorite Saints players, and George Rodrigue himself. Many more unique items will be available. Can’t wait to see you all!!

Hey everyone!! Another win in the books. What a ride it has been so far!! I am writing this on the plane trip home and let me tell you the spirits are high. We are going to enjoy this win tonight then tomorrow it’s on to the New England Patriots. I can’t wait to see you all at the dome on Monday… what a party it’s going to be!! A big thank you to all the Saints faithful that traveled to Tampa to cheer us on. We were very well supported once again.

Sorry I’ve been away for a while everyone. We got out of St. Louis with win #9!!! What a ride it’s been this year. I want to thank all of the fans who were out in St. Louis making it sound like a Saints home game this week. Nothing like hearing our “Who Dats” in another team’s stadium. Hope to hear you again this week at Tampa while we go for #10. Geaux Saints!!!

Tackle Zach Strief was selected as the Morton’s the Steakhouse Community Player of the Game at last Sunday’s home game versus the Panthers. Each year, Strief makes countless visits to local schools and hospitals in the Greater New Orleans area. He also participates in several annual community events including Saints Pep Rallies held at Magnolia Adult School (which provides assistance to mentally challenged adults) and the Players’ Turkey Giveaway at the Dryades YMCA where at least 1,000 families receive a turkey and a bag of groceries with all the holiday fixings. As part of the Saints’ offensive linemen’s charitable organization, OL4NO, Strief also distributes bicycles and helmets for underprivileged kids at their yearly Christmas Bike Giveaway.

Congratulations to Zach Strief… Morton’s The Steakhouse Community Players of the Game.

This program is sponsored by Morton’s The Steakhouse…The Preferred Steakhouse of the New Orleans Saints.

My Mom, Dad, Aunt Sheryll and Uncle Stephen were in town for the Falcons game. Great time with family! A little grainy, but these people are too special to not post!
Maw Maw came to her first game of the season, too!

What a weekend!!! In case you haven’t seen it yet (if you’ve been sleeping for the last 3 days), we pulled of victory #6 this week in Miami against the Dolphins. I think we really showed a lot of character and heart this week, and it’s a good thing because we’re going to need lots of it this year. It was also a great weekend because I got to see my cousins the night before the game. All around great weekend. Thanks to everyone for all of the great support!! We’re looking forward to seeing you all loud and proud on Monday night!!

Michael, Peter, Me and Graham
