Pre-season games have begun...
The New Orleans Saints played against the Pittsburgh Steelers at Canton, Ohio for the Hall of Fame Game on August 5, 2007. The game ended with a 20-7 score in favor of the Steelers
, unfortunately for me.
The crowd of more than 20,000 people were filled by Steelers fans and was quite obvious as they waved their "Terrible Towels" throughout the game.
Many New Orleanians gathered in bars and restaurants, watching the game, yet held back on the road trips as the Hall of Fame Game was just a pre-season view of their favorite players. Drew Brees, Reggie Bush, Marques Colston, Deuce McAllister, etc. were all playing on a limited schedule during the game as coach Sean Payton wanted to keep his players safe and uninjured for the upcoming season.
You can all probably tell that I’m a huge football fan…well, I am. I love sports…from my cheerleading to the NFL to NASCAR.
As a New Orleans resident, I'm a huge fan of the Saints!!! All I can say is, I still believe...the "Who Dats" will make their way throughout the season and the Saints will, hopefully, prevail.
This should be quite an interesting season and I'm hoping New Orleans makes it all the way!!! Good luck to all…
