When The Saints Go “Dragging” In

February 3, 2010

On Sunday, February 6, 2010, the New Orleans Saints will play in the Super Bowl for the first time in franchise history.  The team was founded in 1967 and spent their first 20 years as one of the worst teams in the league. In fact, they won only 88 of 284 games for an overall percentage of just .300.  All of this poor play prompted local sportscaster Buddy Diliberto to make some outlandish statements.  He suggested that fans wear paper bags over their head to disguise their identity.  Many of those fans “renamed” the team by writing the “Aints” on those paper bags.  Diliberto died in 2005 but some of his faithful following reenacted what he threatened to do if the Saints ever made it to the Super Bowl – Walk down Bourbon Street in a dress!


New Orleans is a place where anything goes
That is why men took to the street, I suppose
Wearing a frock
But not to shock
To honor Buddy, they wore women’s clothes
