From Danny (@DG33) on Twitter:
I have a feeling he’s being a little more diplomatic than he really, truly feels given what a Superbowl victory would mean to a post-Katrina New Orleans, but can’t argue with his logic.
As for me? Well, I wish you all the luck in the world, Colts fans, but even though I’m a 49ers fan (which has been just about as fun as being a Pacers fan these past 6 years), I’ll be pulling for the Saints. Sorry. But yall just won one and have perhaps the best QB of all time (and, believe me, as a Montana backer ’til my grave, that statement really, really pains me to say), whereas the Crescent City was recently hit with the worst disaster in modern American history.
Those folks could really use a smile.
Then again, I know the pain — first-hand — surrounding the man-made catastrophe you Pacer/Colt fans have had to suffer through in Conseco Fieldhouse of late, so it would be nice for yall to get another reason to cheer as well.
OK, fine.
I’m with Danny.
