Fellow Honolulu Star-Bulletin journalist and blogger, Dave Reardon, had me thinking all day, yesterday, on the notion that Sean Payton and June Jones shared the same football philosophies. Hmm. . . It makes you wonder whether some of those game-changing plays were part of the former UH football coach’s legacy and repertoire. Check out the article for yourself and see if you agree, Payton’s philosophy similar to Jones’.

Again, Congratulations to the New Orleans Saints and to the City of New Orleans!!! Who Dat! Saints dat who!!! Superbowl Champs!

Congratulations to the New Orleans Saints! Its the first time they’re going to the Superbowl! As I said in my Hawai’i Fishing Fanatic blog post:

“I’m rooting for the Minnesota Vikings to win the NFC Championship. Go Vikings! However, I do like the Saints too since I spent time in my Air Force days deep in the Bayous. My buddies in Mississippi and Louisiana have a great love for the team. I also emphathize with the trials and tribulations the franchise has gone through from the days I was down in New Orleans.”

Wow! what a fantastic ending to a game that was fought well by both sides. A congratulations to Polynesian, Marcus Mailei, who was put on New Orleans injured reserve list in late December. A former Philadelphia Eagle he was recently acquired by the Saints in early December.
