BATON ROUGE — You know where I’m going with that headline. It’s not where the song’s lyrics go.
Like all long-suffering fans of the New Orleans franchise in the NFL, I’m waiting for something to go wrong. Oh, when the Saints come crashing down to Earth.
So, that’s why I haven’t changed the side-saddle I use for my column and story posts on TigerDroppings.com. As soon as I would, the Saints would start losing. I promise you.
They’re trying to lure me back to believing. It won’t work.
It reminds me of a few years ago, when The Times-Picayune’s Jim Kleinpeter, an Astros fan, tried to talk me into believing in them again.
“There’s room for you on the bandwagon,” he said.
Nope. That’s just what they want me to do.
Same deal with the Saints. That’s why I’m keeping my side-saddle the way it is.
(For now)
