MIAMI (AP) -Saints fan Peggy Byrd says New Orleans winning the Super Bowl helps wash away some tough times.
After watching the Saints beat the Indianapolis Colts 31-17, the 56-year-old Byrd said “this is the best feeling since Katrina.”
Byrd says she won a 31-year-old bet with her boss – that if the Saints ever got to the Super Bowl, he would pay her way – and he did, for her and her husband.
She says she believed all these years the Saints were good enough to win the big game, and Saints fans all echoed that sentiment as they left the Sun Life Stadium Sunday night.
Many fans said they saw people crying in the stands as their team won and others cheered “Who Dat? Who Dat?” as they left to begin a night of partying in South Florida.
