You should definitely check out the post game radio show, Wang. We really stomp a hole in this “Unknown Who Dat” bullshit.

I’m 5000% sure that The Unknown Who Dat is a bigger Saints fan then the rest of you. :yes::hookem:

After watching that uncomfortable video, I am not so sure “humility” would describe it either. Well, at least the guy wearing “The Unknown Who Dat for Mayor” shirt got his plug.

Wait…dude’s a fucking bandwagon fan? Get the fuck outta here with that shit. They should fly his ass down to New Orleans and let all the jagoffs waiting at the airport flog him further with the ugly stick.
Shit like this never happens to me. Mainly because I am positively dashing.

After watching the videos of his arrival (which, as Clio so appropriately described them, were “not really enjoyable to watch” ) I’m not sure “grace” is the word I’d use.

I mean, clearly he’s enjoying the hell out of being the spectacle, so good for him I guess. I find it especially heartwarming that he has two other “favorite teams” in the Colts and the Redskins. I’m sure he’ll represent the Who Dat Nation well if they send him to the Super Bowl, what with the half-Manning/half-Brees jersey somebody will surely buy him, and the being happy regardless of who wins and all. He’ll probably already have enjoyed an all-expenses paid trip to Indianapolis by then.

Meantime, this whole thing really does have everything now, doesn’t it? Grandpa? Check. Military veteran? Check. “Outpouring of generosity”? Check. Web site project now being trumpeted as learning experience “FOR THE CHILDREN!!!” Almost never happened because dude suffered misfortune on the way to the game, but indomitable Who Dat spirit (and, evidently, Redskins spirit) would not be denied!!!

They sure are pushing ALL the buttons, aren’t they?

I wonder what the kids were learning in class yesterday while their teacher was at Moisant getting himself on tee vee. Hopefully all the same lessons this thing has been teaching me.

I will be honest – I was disgusted at first. It was obvious that this was the Saints-Fan-come-Star-Wars-Kid. Then someone wanted to change this perception – “We aren’t making fun – we are embracing his spirit!” That may be, but that’s clearly not where this started. I did listen to the interview and his spirit seems indomitable, his joy boundless, and his zeal about the Saints sincere. Here’s the rub – I really like this guy from what I’ve heard. It’s a great story about someone who loves the Saints. And that’s where it should stop. Flying him down for a game, providing him dinner, etc. is just making fun. I hope we all have such grace if/when this happens to us.
Whatever. Cowboys suck. Geaux Saints!

“It’s Paris-Hilton-Grade fame for fame’s sake. It’s all a phony, manufactured “phenomenon” based on absolutely nothing.”

Ohoh. Somebody’s cranky.

You’re starting to convince me. Actually, the wording on the site says “part of the proceeds.” Disgusting.
And I have to say that the video on nola.com of Mr. Harris’s arrival is, um, not really enjoyable to watch.
So I guess I’ll go back to focusing on the beatdown that will come tomorrow night on the field.

Back to the business at hand. Tomorrow night will be the first live Cowgirls game I watch in about 15 years. Only because they are coming to the Superdome. Pathetic, I know, but hate them that much. Didn’t even see the trouncing in Texas Stadium three years back. Listened to it on the radio at the office and then watched the video about a year later.
It’s going to be tough to keep my $12 nachos down when the satanic, pentacle-helmeted douches come out of the north tunnel. Flame away.

I’ll die before I link to the site, but you know where to find it. Go look at their Twitter feed.

9 updates on the number of members the Facebook group has
15 copy/pasted spam tweets to various media types
10 references to OMG LEGITIMATE MEDIA COVERAGE!!!!!
Thankfully, only 1 ad for the tee shirts (so far…)
Several updates on the number of hits the site has been getting

But… uh… yeah… it’s not about any of that, right? It’s all about celebrating this great Saints fan who is an inspiration to us all for some reason.

Whoredom. More shameful by the day.

Say, who do you think is overseeing the accounting on the tee shirt sales? English majors, does “Proceeds go to the Brees Dream Foundation” imply 100%? Because evidently at least one player in the whole thing is promising $$$ to someone other than the foundation as well. “After expenses” I’m sure. “Sorry it’s a little light… had to feed all the reporters and cameramen WGNO, WWL, WDSU, etc. sent out to interview MEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!“
