Miami Here We Come!!!
January 29, 2010
Hey everyone in the Wh0 Dat World!!!
(Am I allowed to say that?!?!…..geez, I can’t believe all this talk about how people can/can’t use “Who Dat”!)
Anyhow………….I can’t tell you guys how excited I am to be getting ready to play in a Super Bowl! Last week’s game was AWESOME! It felt really good to get out there and play in such a great game. I’ve heard alot of people say that they really thought it would come down to whichever team had the ball last. But, deep down, I knew that our “Dome Field Advantage” would play a huge part. You guys were AWESOME last Sunday! The Dome was so loud!! Thank you! Thanks to everyone for believing in us and supporting us throughout the season! I know I’ve had fun, so I hope y’all have had fun!
I’ve never been a part of such an emotional game! I’ve seen alot of pictures floating around, and there’s a picture of Coach P, Lance, Me, and some other guys all running onto the field after Hartley made the game winning kick. The picture catches our complete excitement. It’s pretty cool!
So…..as a team, we had Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday off. It gave us a chance to recover from the game and get ready for all that’s coming at us as we get ready for the Super Bowl! I really tried to stay off my feet and relax. But, on Wednesday I had the pleasure of having lunch with a new friend. His name is Michael, and he is a 6 year old little guy who is working towards remission from a brain tumor. Michael was awesome! Phils Grill hosted us for lunch and we had a chance to just hang out and talk over a good burger. Michael had another friend that joined us during lunch. His name was Boo and he has gone through two bouts with cancer, and he’s barely 6 years old as well!
Spending time with Michael, Boo, and their families really made my week! Both of my new friends were pretty funny. Michael beat me at tic tac toe, and Boo was a little french fry thief! …… I’m gonna be remembering those two boys as I prepare for next Sunday’s Super Bowl. Their battle with cancer really puts life in perspective. Michael and Boo have pushed hard to beat cancer, and I want to go out there next Sunday and play hard for them. They might be my fans, but really……….I’m their fan!!
So…..we’re deep into our Colts gameplan! We leave Monday for Miami. I don’t know what to expect, but…..I’m gonna try to enjoy EVERY moment of it! I hope we are successful in bringing back a Lombardi trophy for the Saints fans!!!
Alright…..y’all take care! I’ll try to write a little something from Miami next week. It might be brief since I’m not taking my computer, but I’ll try to give you guys a little insight on what’s going on.
Thanks for being great fans!!!
Who Dat!

I can’t believe you were actually typing all those things about the Super Bowl?? It’s still unreal that we’re going. I say “we’re going” because we are all there with you in spirit. Thanks for an amazing season! One more to go.
We’re rooting for you at home here in Nola
Who Dat and Proud.
Bless you BOYS!
I can finally say this and not end up in the looney bin… THE SAINTS WON THE SUPERBOWL!
Pierre, I know you were on fire inside when you got stopped on the goal line… but you dug down deep and proved to the whole world what the Who Dat Nation has been knowing for a while now… You are by far, the BEST running back in the NFL. Period. The fire and the fight that you showed to push and twist your way to the goal line for that 16 yard reception in the 3rd was the turning point in the game in my mind.
Thank you Pierre… Thank you and the rest of the Saints. Oh… and make sure Hartley’s head doesn’t get too big in the off season…
