Dear Peyton,
You know I love you so. Your leadership (on the field, and as evidenced by your work with children so beautifully chronicled by SNL). Your athletic prowess. Your determination.
You also know how much I despise the Saints. I know, I know, your father was (is!) a legend in New Orleans and throughout the NFL. And deservedly so. Inasmuch as I can love Archie and hate the Saints, I also love certain family members who, much to my chagrin, do include "Who Dat?" in their lexicon.
My brother-in-law is a diehard Saints fan.
[sigh]
While I wish my brother-in-law all happiness in every other way, I just cannot stomach the thought of the Saints in the big game (sorry — can't afford to pay NFL licensing fees, but I know you know what I'm talking about). Seriously. I've been ill all day. Even more troubling to me than the Saints actually being in the game is the thought of them actually winning it.
So. Please. My dear, sweet Peyton: You know what you must do.
I shan't distract you anymore. See you in two weeks.
Sincerely,
Me

I LOVE the SNL where he hosts. The spot with the kids cracks me up every time.

Just stoppin by to say hi! How are you doing?
ReplyDeleteStopping by from SITS! :)
ReplyDeleteWell, whatever the Saints did to screw the pooch with you must be some serious shee-it. I laughed when I heard a TV commentator say hell had frozen over because the Saints were going to the Super Bowl.
ReplyDeleteStopping by from SITS! My husband is pulling for Peyton too.
ReplyDeleteOh my dear......I must agree!
ReplyDeletePeyton....and co. must do their thing in 2 weeks!
I'll be cheering/screaming my head off here in Indiana!
Oh I hear you. The Saints just seem like they are doing something sneaky! I am still mourning with Brett, but at least there are the commercials to distract, right?
