I must be getting old...

[McCall St. Brewer]

I read this in a news story this morning and immediately became upset: "For the first time in a long, checkered history, the New Orleans Saints are going to the NFC championship game."

Why, you ask? Do you not like the N.O. Saints? No, that's not it at all. I was upset by the them being described as having a "long" history. I still think of the Saints as an expansion team, for cripes sake. The Packers and Bears have a long history. Man, I must really be getting old.

A history of losing makes things seem longer. Winning seasons go by fast.

I think it's great that they are doing well. New Orleans needs all the positive it can get.
Since my team didn't even make it to the playoffs I'll be rooting for the Saints.
