In case you didn’t already know, Superbowl XLIV is this weekend. The New Orleans Saints face up to the Indianapolis Colts, a match up between this season’s most winning-est teams. In this footage taken from the long-lost 1983 archives, soul singer Aaron Neville is joined by five Saints Footballers, John Hill, Dave Waymer, Brad Edelman, Louis Oubre, and Reggie Lewis.
The controversy this year seems to be surrounding off the field matters – a Pro Life TV Commercial (I say good for CBS and Tim Tebow to make their voice heard on this issue – we could do with more role models in Sports like this), and the ownership of “Who Dat?” The NFL recently claimed ownership of the “Who Dat” trademark, along with the Fleur-de-Lis logo and the team’s colors, but have now backed down on this claim. Seriously, what were they thinking? The Fleur-de-lis is a centuries old emblem found on numerous coats of arms, and the Who Dat? phrase was first heard late in the nineteenth centruy, decades before the the Dayton Triangles beat the Columbus Panhandles 14-0 in the first NFL game in 1920.
“Who dat say dey gonna beat dem Saints? Who dat? Who dat?”
Geaux Saints!
