If you go on espn.com right now, the headline will tell you the Saints "needed overtime" to beat the Redskins. Needed overtime? How about "miraculously found a way to win in a game where their secondary was exposed, they couldn't tackle anyone, couldn't generate a pass rush, couldn't run the ball, and were totally outplayed"?
I don't even know where to start. With my collapse at the bar after the GW field goal? With the number of typos in my texts because my hand was shaking too much to properly press buttons? With the amount of wind-up high fives between me and my friend Jason (two of the more controlled sports fans around)? Should I flashback to all the years of inept QBs, coaches and general teams that would have been on the other end of this game?
I think I've settled on this:
Even when "we" were down seven, the Redskins about to kick a chip shot field goal to wrap up the game...I believed. It wasn't false belief either -- the kind where you're saying "anything can happen" but inside you know you're toast. This was a genuine belief in my team. God, it felt good. The greatest moments in my life have been those where I believed despite the laws of probability fighting against me. Might be something to remember.
Thanks, Saints, for giving me something to believe in
(and thanks, refs, for that questionable OT fumble ruling)

I tried for awhile to come up with something clever to say about the anonymous comment above. I got nothing. Just LOL. Not clever, but true.
This blog post actually made me feel like I was missing out a little by not being a big football believer. No small feat, that. Go you. :)
