[Oe List ...] New Orleans and the Saints

Wed Jan 27 16:58:02 CST 2010

I would be reluctant to try a theological justification myself. JWM used to
talk about needing a goof off factor. Since I played in high school for the
Saint Martin's Episcopal Saints, I am hooked and that is how I categorize it
(goof off factor) and I finally brought Kathryn around to enjoy watching.
That said, there are too many social negatives to players (like no life
after football), couch potatoes, low income people buying tickets they
cannot afford, etc. as well as the incitement to violence that happens to
players (Spousal abuse) and fans to elevate it to theological justification.
Nonetheless, Go Saints!

Over the years I have heard references to David Scott's "Theological
Justification fo Football", but have never heard him lay it out.  Maybe now
is a good time for him to do so.

I generally concur with the "go saints!" call, but it was disappointing to
see the vicious way they attacked Bret Favre. Sure, sacking is fine and the
Saints were good at it. But some of the hits were unnecessary and apparently
designed specifically to cause hurt (according to the announcers). That's a
bit over the top. Maybe I'm just getting sympathetic towards elders. Still
I'm pleased to see them in the Superbowl and hope they can play an honorable
game.

Kathryn and I woke up Monday morning with a delightful hangover. Thank you
John for sharing this with everybody. Thank you Paul. The Super bowl is Feb
7 Please also note that in the midst of the ecstatic celebration downtown
there was no property damage. I cannot say the same about liver damage. Go
Saints! Our fair city is alive, well and sending people to Haiti. (Haiti
sent people to New Orleans after the hurricane). Go Saints!
