The palpable disdain from New Orleans over the Super Bowl was more acute than any corresponding joy experienced in New England or the rest of America over one of the worst championship games in NFL history.
Saints fans went to great lengths to avoid the game in dissent of the controversial NFC championship that saw a blown call play a big impact on the Los Angeles Rams advancing to the Super Bowl.
While much of New Orleans partied in protest during the game, 65-year-old Henry A. Jaume took the most extreme of measures to avoid the action.
He died. Hours before kickoff.
His obituary published in the New Orleans Advocate states that Jaume died on Sunday at 1 p.m. “Determined not to watch Super Bowl LIII.”

Who Dat!
That is certainly taking it to extremes, he could have just kept the TV off.
You know Boudreaux died back in 2010.
And Satan saw that he was coming so he cranked the temperature up a couple of notches for his honored guest.
After a day, Satan went to check on Boudreau and asked him what he thought of Hell.
Boudreaux said, “Mais dis is nice. Dis is like fishing on Bayou Bouef in June.
This infuriated Satan, so Satan cranked the temperature up as high as it would go. And just to make the heat that much more miserable, Satan cranked the humidity up to 100%.
The next day Satan went to check on Boudreaux.
Boudreaux was smiling and said, “This is awesome! This is like fishing on Lake Pontchartrain in August.
Satan was beside himself. But he said, I know what will get that cajun. And he cranked the temperature down as far as it would go.
The next day Satan went to check on Boudreaux.
Boudreaux was shivering and shaking and was 5 shades of blue and was grinning from ear to ear.
Satan said, “Boudreau aren’t you cold? Why are you so happy?”
Boudreaux said, “I’m sure enough coldddd. But dis can only mean one thing! Dem Saints done won da Superbowl!!!!”
Brees lost in the game in OT
One of the four plays the Rams got away with taking a shot at Brees’ head.
Intentional grounding.
Fourth and six. Feet under.
He made his play to Go Deep and do a Hail Mary.
I don't cry for the Saints. They have been the dirtiest team under Sean Payton. Just desserts comes to mind.
Killing himself would have been extreme--when he could hope for the Saints to be in Super Bowl LIV.
I was being facetious, I don’t assume he killed himself. I doubt that the family would have been willing to reference the Superbowl in this way had his death been at all sudden or unanticipated. The fact they are willing to joke about it suggests that he had probably done so while still alive during a long illness (just my speculation).
WELL, HE SUCCEEDED!.................
