Oh yeah the lawsuit is ridiculous and will never happen, but I love the passion down there. MAN that entire city just lives and breathes that team, it's so cool. And the parties all over the streets EVERYWHERE after the divisional win..its just a very passionate, emotional city in general, which the Saints are an outlet for. All this extra push is definitely silly and will go nowhere, but I'm not surprised it's happening.
And it's probably because of how egregious it was..this wasn't some Calvin Johnson rule where it's close, that was a straight helmet to helmet mugging. Even with a flag, it's one of the worst PI's I've ever seen...and it didn't even get called, and directly changed the outcome of the game. Call that penalty and that game is over dude. 3 kneels, walk off chip shot FG and you're in the Super Bowl. I'm still shocked..it just felt greasy.
But yes, credit to the Rams as they had the mo' that second half and beyond. They overcame a brutal start and losing the OT coin toss to get a W, Saints blew it in OT. Brees had a shaky second half and never should've forced that OT throw. But that game should've already been over.
