Thanks Seat 2A!

Meantime, the Saints are not exactly setting the world on fire this afternoon down in the N.O. Superdome in their last game of the regular season as the score is Carolina Panthers 23 - Saints 0 at half time.....but, of course, the Saints are in an excellent position going into the playoffs. Geaux Saints!!!
