DJP Update 2-13-2010 Some fun! Saints parade photos; Lagniappe: a special connection
I posted a few of the photos I captured at the Saints parade on 2-9-2010, two days after the World Champion Saints won the Super Bowl.

LAGNIAPPE: We all know that the trophy in Coach Sean Payton’s hand in the photo I took is the LOMBARDI TROPHY, the trophy named after the famous Coach Vince Lombardi. It is given to the National Football League’s winner of the Super Bowl Championship Game.
But did you know that Vince Lombardi’s grandson, Joe Lombardi, is the Saints quarterback coach! More background info about this at:

The Lombardi connection is another wonderful part of the Who Dat Nation story that gave a city hope. I also want to share what I recorded from Steve Sabol, head of NFL film and a man who has filmed all 44 Super Bowls, as he spoke on TV immediately after the game:
“Tell me the truth and I will believe; Tell me a fact and I will learn; But tell me a story and it will live in my heart forever. This Super Bowl goes instantaneously into American folklore. It is triumph that symbolizes a city’s rebirth, the growing stardom of Dree Brees, and the bravado and the fearless decision-making of the coach, Sean Payton.”
Amen! Happy Mardi Gras! This year will be a photographer’s delight.
Stay well and more on the health system summit soon!
