Around SBN: Knicks Beat Lakers With Familiar Strategy

Super Bowl Thread: Colts vs Saints, 6 p.m.

Football fans are weird

Who you got? My money (not really) is on the Colts, but there are few things I prefer about the Saints. Those things are: Reggie Bush and the sparkly cheerleaders. I mean, have you seen their cheerleaders? Sparkle City. Still, I don't hate the Colts the way people seem to think I should and I actually like Peyton Manning. Either way I don't really care. 

SB Nation is trying something new this year with an all SBN Game Thread so if you want to chat up the game you can head there, or of course stay within the friendly confines of Camden Chat. zk is preparing some fabulous guacamole for his Super Bowl party but I'm willing to bet a few of you are like me and watching from home on this winter weekend. 

The best thing about the Super Bowl is that the second that it's over we can start thinking about baseball full time. Spring Training is just 11 days away!

The gf is from N.O.

so, as much as I love Peyton, Geaux Saints!

That, and i’m off to Mardi Gras on Tuesday, and it’ll be much more fun if the Saints win.

Go Saints

I can’t stand that team in Indy winning anything.

And I won’t be preparing much food, as my water pump under my house has been flooded AGAIN (3rd time in 6 weeks after never in 13 years), so I’m working on that. The joys of home ownership…

And way, way better than whatever The Who is doing. I ran up to eat dinner and then I came down to their performance…it was not pleasant.

Screw Indy, screw that fat, dead drunk Bob Irsay, and screw his slick-haired, I want $25 MILLION for the Colts name kid. Only thing that would have made it better was if they never made it to begin with .

Because that's their saying

“Who dat say…” has been a part of New Orleans slang for a long time. It dates back to ‘83 with the Saints, but the phrase was around in the 1890’s in various popular culture.

I’d list sorces, but I looked it up a while ago for my girlfriend and that’s all I remember. I have no idea where I found it, but i’m sure a quick google would proviode the answers.

As in “Who Dat Say Dey Gonna Beat Dem Saints!”. My friends in NOLA say it constantly. And it’s all over the Saints blog-world. Of course it comes from the local accent, as in “Where Yat?”, which means “How are you?”
