New Orleans Judge Postpones Trial Due To 'Saintsmania'

A New Orleans civil judge took judicial notice that "Saintsmania" is permeating the city, and ordered the postponement of a Feb. 1 trial that was expected to go for two weeks. He noted that jurors, court personnel and various attorneys involved with the case were likely going to be going to the Super Bowl in Miami.

Personally, I think they need to shut down the entire state of Louisiana for the month of February. Not because residents are traveling to Miami, but because the partying in that part of the world will likely be at liver-endangering levels. Who needs to go to Miami, when the most fun is likely going to be in Louisiana in the middle of the Who Dats? Being a jury member trying to stay awake during an attorney-blathering trial is hard enough. Can you imagine trying to do it after the ultimate New Orleans Super Bowl party?

As Saints super fan Fleur-D-Lious notes, the motto of Saints supporters is "Win or lose, we still booze."




If that's the partying after the NFC Championship game, you can only imagine how it would be after the Super Bowl. If you have a good imagination, I bet you can smell how it would be too. Ew.

Louisiana has an amazing alcohol culture. You can buy liquor at convenience stores, drug stores, on the street, pretty much everywhere. Good luck, Who Dats. Remember to hydrate. You know, with actual water.
