New Orleans threw a celebration of their own to boycott the Super Bowl

NEW ORLEANS- It’s a Who Dat take over as thousands of Saints fans fill Fulton Street in New Orleans for the Boycott Bowl.

“We are out here because we are true Who Dat fans,” said a Saints fan.

This is New Orleans response to not being in the Super Bowl after a no-call on pass interference against Rams that cost the team the NFC Championship and the Super Bowl.

More than 3 thousand attended for this anti-super bowl event, and organizers say it’s the largest in the state. The event had concerts with major entertainment including Louisiana’s very own Rockin’ Dopsie.

“Who cares about the Superbowl, we want to be in the city,” said a Saints fan.

This sore loser thing is getting old.

The Saint could have still won that game. As for me, I hate to see a game, esp a playoff game, hinge on a penalty call.

After that play, they scored a field goal. All they had to do was hold the Rams. They didn’t.

That’s the nice thing about football, it evens out. The referee felt that the players got there at the same time.

Also, why not replay it at normal speed? Try to determine the right call. If you can’t then slow it down, but humans do not see in slow motion. If you’ve got to slow something down to one frame a second, that’s rediculous. Get rid of the refs all together. GEt a robot to call balls and strikes.

They didn’t miss much. The highlight of the evening was Gladys Knight. It was all down hill after that. What a snoozer. Turned it off and in bed before the end of the 3rd quarter.

Agreed, horrible game. Period. Would love to see NO and KC play a game next season for the real bragging rights! As for me, Pitchers and Catchers in just two weeks!

Don’t talk sense about emotional times. It was Bree’s IT in OT that cost the Saints the NFC not that no call

Exactly. They keep harping on this call. The game continued, and BRee throws the IT. I mean come on. They going to add replays of calls esp interference where the receiver can act like he was held?

I’m watching it live. Fox News has just spent the last 11 minutes talking about

A) The stupid football game.
B) The national anthem during the stupid football game.
C) Live reports from Brian “I am so smart I should be running the country!” Kilmeade from the stupid football game.
D) The ads shown during the stupid football game.

... Wow! After 12 minutes we finally have some news. Just some meaningless stuff about cop killers, drug gangs and the upcoming summit between President Trump and Kim Jung Un.

But we all know that’s not as important as the stupid football game.

Oh, good. Now, they’ve moved back to puppies playing football.

Retards.

That blown call was a good thing. It saved the Saints from having to be seen getting their butts kicked in the Super Bowl by an obviously superior team.

Now they can use the bad call excuse until next season. I’m glad the California group was sent as the sacrificial team this year.

Not much of a sacrifice.

Look for video of Gladys Knight sining the National Anthem, as it was the only part worth watching.

If it wasn’t for the No Call, there may have not been an OT for Brees to throw an interception.
