It's official, the city of New Orleans can overcome anything.
Less than 5 years after Hurricane Katrina crushed New Orleans, the city has once again proved it can meet any challenge. Trailing the Indianapolis Colts 10-0 after the first quarter, the New Orleans Saints battled back to win Super Bowl XLIV 31-17.
Bourbon Street and the French Quarter in New Orleans was flooded with thousands of celebrating fans minutes after the victory and for a moment at least, everyone forgot the woes that faced and still face New Orleans in the wake of Katrina.
The Saints were the rallying cry for the city immediately after Hurricane Katrina, and proved last night, that they remain the heart of 'The Big Easy' today.
Led by quarterback Drew Brees and star Reggie Bush, the Saints came back from their 10 point deficit and dominated Peyton Manning and the Indianapolis Colts.
Whether you were cheering for the Colts or the Saints, you have to congratulate the city of New Orleans and realize what this victory means for the region. Once crushed to the point where it seemed nothing could save the city, New Orleans is now the talk of the United States for better things. Mardi Gras is fast approacing and the New Orleans Saints are Super Bowl XLIV champions.
It's a great story. Even though I picked the Colts to win, I am happy for the Saints and even happier for the comeback story that is New Orleans.
Let the games begin.
