Let's hope home-field advantage counts for something in the next round of games - if so we'd have the Saints, Ravens, Chargers and Bears contesting for the the Championships... as opposed to the Eagles, Seahawks, Colts and Patriots (yawn)
So who else is now (like me) rooting for the underdog Saints? To many 'neutral' fans there must surely now be some romantic appeal and a sense of 'they deserve it' if the people of New Orleans could celebrate a Super Bowl victory when you consider the devastation of Hurricane Katrina barely 18 months ago, the thousands of lives lost and homes wrecked, and the part the Superdome played in providing shelter and saving lives.
