Come on, did anyone really think I could choose otherwise?
Please — much as we Broncos fans loathe because he’s killed us for years now admire the class act and surgeon-like quarterback precision that is Peyton Manning, I think you’ll find most of us hopping on “The Streetcar Named ‘Who Dat?’”. Mainly because, hey — Peyton got his already! Mo-om! Peyton’s hogging all the cookies!
No, it’s really more like this — we love the underdog when our dog isn’t in the hunt, and the Broncos very much benefited from this feeling from all around the country if not the world when they wore that hat in 1996-97 against the “Hey, Brett got his already!” Green Bay Packers in Super Bowl XXXII. Maybe not so much the next year against the never-been-there-before-or-since Atlanta Falcons, but Hah! That didn’t matter! Woo Hoo!! REpeat!! John Elway retires a champ!!! be that as it may, time for Broncos fans to pay it forward. This blog hereby does — a Mile High Salute to ya, Who Dat Nation!
We expect etoufee in return.
(PS: For any New Orleans fans to whom the Super Bowl staple “guacamole” is an alien substance, I have a good recipe. Finding avocados down there, though, you’re on your own. Try asking your produce people for “alligator pears”; it might help.)

*loves that this post is also included under the “guacamole” tag*
are you the clay steiner who lived in monrovia as a kid.
Yeah, Ray, that would be me. And this is me being surprised to hear from you. Last was 1971, if I remember correctly. We should talk. By any chance are you on Facebook?
Who Dat?! Geaux Saints!
(Also on the guacamole-less list, but it’s because I can’t stand the stuff.)
