I will try to make this short and sweet!
-A buddy of mine called me right before I was scheduled to fly back to ATL (I am in the AF and stationed about 100 miles south in Warner Robins) and said he had an extra ticket to the game, and asked If I were interested in going (like I was gonna say no). I flew in Saturday night, and got a room at the Westin, figuring that would be close to the stadium and was reasonalbe $$.
-As I was checking in, I saw Deuce McCallister hanging out in the lobby. I had no idea the team was staying there. I went up to my room, unpacked, and went back down to the hotel bar for a drink. I saw Coach Payton in the lobby, talking with many different groups of people, signing authgraphs, and just all around having a good time. I thought it was great of him to spend time with the fans. Payton seems like a genuine good person.
-On the morning of the game, many fans were down in the lobby catching players as they were heading out for the bus for autographs. Joe horn came down, looking pimp if I may say, and signing every authgraph request and posing for every picture. I thought it was a nice gesture.
-Almost all players were pretty cool. I had a good time seeing all of my favorate saints players. It was an experience I will never forget.
-And that the saints crushed the dirty birds was the icing on the cake.
