That was certainly true when the Saints were in the NFC title game a few years ago but I think Haiti kind of knocks Katrina down a few pegs.
For the sports media to harp on Katrina as a big storyline for the Saints 5 years later is about as ridiculous as when they were saying how important Michigan State in the NCAA finals was to Detroit.
I mean, seriously, they’re talking about Detroit, where in the last 15 years they’ve had 4 Stanley Cups, 2 NBA Championships, and a World Series appearance.
