N.O. Saints hate Myke Reinhold

It all started out as a great Sunday after an even better Saturday.  Saturday night was Poker Night at an undisclosed location and the winner was my wife.  We woke up Sunday morning and went and ate some good old fashioned French Breakfast with some friends.  After breakfast it was back to the house, clean up and get dressed to take the wife to her favorite football teams home game.  My wife is a big time Denver Broncos fan and I am a die hard Minnesota Vikings fan.  Some say a bleed purple and others say that during massive angry outbursts I usually shout “SKOL!”.

Anyways, we pack up and head out for Investco Field to watch the Broncos play the Saints.  Nothing like sitting through a game and rooting on a team just to show your wife you do really love her.  But that is when and where the “crazy football fan” came out of me.  I was cheering and rooting on the Broncos and booing the Saints all night.  Towards the end of the game it started to get rather close and it was not looking so good for the Broncos.  They had turned the ball over and the Saints were starting to drive down the field.  Now before we begin the drama of the end of this story, you must understand one thing.  I HATE Martin “built like a horse jockey” Gramatica, the place kicker for the Saints.  Why?  Because he is an annoying little turd of a football player and to hear him pout about kicks is the last thing anyone wants to listen to.

So anyways, the Saints march down the field with about 10 minutes left and score a touchdown to make it 34-32 Broncos.  The Saints line up for a 2-point conversion and we all stood tall and screamed and whistled as loud as possible to become the ever dangerous 12th man on the field to help the defense.  It worked and the Saints 2-point conversion failed.  Whew!  I am not a Bronco fan but damn that was fun.  So the Broncos get the ball and start marching right back down the field and all looks good…until…no way…could it really happen…yes it can…the Broncos march to the 5 yard line of the Saints and fumble the ball and turn it over.  Then without any problems at all, the Saints march down the field all the way to the Broncos 25 yard line and line up for the game winning 43 yard field goal.That is when it happened folks.  The Minnesota Vikings fan that hates this place kicker that is called Automatic Gramatica came to life and helped the Denver Broncos seal their ticket to becoming 3-0 on the year.  The Saints line up and the crowd starts to scream for the defense, people clapping and screaming and whistling and doing whatever they could to stop this field goal.  But off to the East of the kicker and the rest of the Saints team is this thunderous load banging…almost like gun shots from a Remington 10-gauge.  Fans start to take notice, fans start to feel very uncomfortable.  The fans feel this way as if they are watching two helmet wearing retards fight on the playground.  They watch but with utter fear as they cannot figure out how one single man could make that much noise.  The stomping and banging gets louder and more thunderous.  The football is snapped…the thunderous stomp is echoing through the stadium…Gramatica steps into the kick right as a huge “KABOOM” sound is heard and the kick sails wide right of the uprights!  Oh my god, the easy 43 yard field goal is missed and the Broncos are saved.  At this point, as I stop and look around, the seats are clearing and fans are looking at me like my nose is falling off.  Then right next to my wife and I a guy says, “Holy crap man, that foot stomping scared the kick off its mark.  You are the man!”.  Thank you, your welcome.

So to all of the Saints fans in the crowd, the crazy foot stomper sitting in Section 127, row 33 seat 5 was me, Myke Reinhold.  You can now join the list of haters, we welcome you to my world.  :-)

p.s.  I can honestly admit I have never been to a football game in my life where I can walk away with a sun burn.  I look like I was on the lake in 90+ degree weather.  But no, I was sitting in a late September game watching the Broncos beat the Saints.

p.s.s.  The Vikings won their first game of the season as well.  SKOL Vikings!
