So long ago
Was it in a dream, was it just a dream?
I know, yes I know
Seemed so very real, it seemed so real to me

Was it really just last year? Seems like so long ago. 2-0, Gleason’s block, all day coverage on all the major sports networks, people were falling in love with the Saints all over again. Hard to believe that was just 364 days ago. And now?

Strange days indeed. Most peculiar, mama.

The Saints are 0-2 and there’s a freaky mix of confusion, denial, desperation and general, all-purpose pissedoffedness surrounding tonight’s game. On message boards, everybody’s talking and no one says a word. Everybody’s making love and no one really cares. There’s Nazis in the bathroom just below the stairs. On the field, there’s always something happening and nothing going on. There’s always something cooking but nothing in the pot. They’re reeling down on Airline, so we’ll go with what we’ve got.
