An idea
A coworker thought this up and I'm just embellishing it. Instead of having the Saints playing a "home" game in their opponent's home stadium, which is idiotic and unfair, the NFL should have scheduled the game in Philadelphia. The game probably would have sold out and the Eagles, who have a pretty good marketing department, could have made it something special. And most importantly, the Saints would have had the crowd behind them like a team playing a home game deserves. Game promotion could have been tied into the bushclintonkatrinarelief stuff and the "Be a Saint" commercials I saw running last night and had that Sean idiot dressed in a Saints football costume. The could have made it Mardi Gras night as well and even had Mummers in attendance. Ok, maybe not the Mummers. No matter how it was promoted I'm sure there would have been less than 10,000 empty seats than there were up in the Meadowlands which is pathetic. And talking about pathetic, how about the quality of play in both games last night? But you have to love Washington winning in Dallass on the night they honored Aikman, Smith, and Irvin. Ha ha.
