Open Letter Day
1) Open Letter to Falcons Fans
I understand you’re upset, but you have to be honest with yourself, did you really think you had a chance? Stats aside, you’re not looking at the big picture. This was homecoming for the Saints, and the team’s been through a lot. With a hurricane ripping their stadium to shreds and not knowing whether or not they will even EXIST next year, the NFL had to throw them a bone.
Last night’s game was one of emotion, not talent or skill. I saw penalties called that made me think I didn’t know anything about the sport, to be honest with you. But it’s over and done with, all right? You’ve got to move on, use that short-term memory the coaches are always yelling at the players about. There are other games to worry about and guess what? The Saints have to come here, too, don’t they? You’ll get ‘em then.
Yes, Atlanta is the better team, but you have to remember that half of sports is politics. To think that the commission was gonna let the Saints lose and miss out on the chance to make a good news story GREAT is just foolish. Like I said, stomp them when they come out to the A.
2) Open Letter to Saints Fans
Congratulations!! It was good to see the HUGE turnout at the Superdome, your support meant a lot to the players. And the NFL commission. And the sponsors. And the vendors. You packed that stadium like you weren’t sure if the team would be around for much longer…
But I’ve got news for you: you’ll be around a little longer. Why? Because it cost $185M (let me write that out so you can see the 0s: $185,000,000) to rebuild the ‘Dome. That’s one hell of an investment and the American people are all about getting their money worth so even if the Saints go to that big stadium in the sky (where all the defunct teams go; ask them), the Superdome will house many events until—(I’m not even gonna finish that joke).
So enjoy this victory and best wishes on many more to come.
3) Open Letter to the Atlanta Falcons
Well played, guys. Not only did you hand New Orleans your balls, you actually made it look like you were a shitty team. AWESOME!!
Crumpler, I love the way you forgot to catch. Those what, 8 passes you let slip right through your hands? TOTALLY believable!! Dunn, I have to compliment you on the two good runs. You made it seem like Atlanta finally showed up and was ready to play. Then you brought it right back, I couldn’t get enough. Ahh, Andersen, there are no words…I hear you’re usually a pretty good kicker, you probably just had a bad night, right? And finally, the $60M Man. Mr. Vick, let me first say that herpes aside, I love you. You’ve grown so much since Virginia Tech and I’m keeping hope alive for you to taste a Super Bowl. Not based on your performance last night, of course, I’m going to pretend that didn’t happen. Passes to no one, running when you should’ve thrown, throwing when you should’ve run, it was GREAT!!
You provided the most entertaining night of football that I’ve seen in a while and I want to thank you. I don’t think a better game could have been scripted.
4) Open Letter to the New Orleans Saints
Enjoy the win, bitches, it’s probably the last you’ll ever have. Well, maybe not the last, but you’re about to hit a dry spell, so get ready. I’m not some pansy ass fan that’s gonna applaud you for the shenanigous win last night cuz “you’ve been through so much.” Suck it up, this is FOOTBALL, not little league.
I know, the world wanted you to win last night, hell, I did too, it put me back on top in my office pool. But please believe I didn’t choose you guys for the W cuz of your merit, I just understand the way the world works. Football is meant to entertain and having Atlanta stomp on your heads in your first game home since ’04 wouldn’t have been a good look. They’d look like bullies and everyone would cry “poor New Orleans,” giving you more attention than necessary.
If you read the letter to your fans, you know that you’re probably gonna be around for a good bit so I suggest you groom Reggie Bush and get a real TEAM going. Play as good as the Falcons made you look.
5) Open Letter to Insecure Men
Maybe you don’t know what my day is like; let me break it down:
6:45am – Wake up
7:00am – Get out of bed
7:30am – Leave for work
8:00am – 5:00pm – WORK
5:30pm - 6:30pm – Eat, change, head to the station
6:45pm – 11(or 12) – Q100
You find some time in there for me to either call or e-mail you and I’ll see to it that it happens. Until then, shut your trap. You’re not my man (and after your snarky little comment, you’re out of the running) and, not to be a dick, I can’t make the time for you.
I’m not being bitchy by any means, but I’m a little confused. I haven’t corresponded with you in a little while, but you read my blog and see that I’m busy. Yet the first time we catch each other, you make a comment I’d only associate with a female. Am I the only person that understands how fleeting some interactions can be? Sometimes we talk to people and they stick, that’s how friendships are formed. Sometimes we talk to people and just can’t make it work. There are people in our lives we don’t deal with everyday but when we get together, not a beat is missed. Intense, lukewarm or just all out wack, these interactions can be taken away in the blink of an eye. And it all happens for a reason. Appreciate what you’ve got and don’t force anything, sheesh.
And, next time I catch you online, just be honest and tell me you miss me and let that be that. Males shouldn’t be jealous that’s a female trait.
So much more to say, but I think that’s enough for open letter day…

Comments
Insecure man? I'll wear that. I am man enough to acknowledge my insecurities and wise enough to know that few people in the world do not have bouts with their own insecurities whether they voice them or not. I point them out during our interactions because for people with short attention spans (including myself) you can't help but wonder what prevents one from holding another's attention. So while the insecurities seem chronic, it only appears so because of the infrequent interactions.
Next time I should just say I miss you? Well my contacting you supports that notion as well as my reading your blog. I never tried to dummy down the fact that I did/do miss talking to you. I am somewhat arrogant but not to the point of where I feel that I cannot tell someone I miss talking with them.
You might want to smooth out those jagged edges and save the shanks for those truly deserving.
Sincerely,
MA
