And of all the questions he could have asked me - about the meaning of life, why we're here, or did I really kiss (name deleted) in high school, he wanted to know if the Saints were going to lose to the Oakland Raiders.
God, I wish I knew. If there's anything we've learned about the Saints it's that they can beat any team in the league and also lose to any team in the league. A Saints fan doesn't get to have the confidence and faith that say - the New York Giants have in their team. We don't even get to have the overconfidence that Dallas Cowboys fans have. Unfortunately, a loss to the train wreck that is the Oakland Raiders (at the Superdome no less) is a realistic possibility.
God knows that's not what I want to see happen. But after losing to the Minnesota Vikings after statistically dominating said Vikings, pretty much nothing this Saints team does surprises me very much.
