Cooper is a huge Vikings fan(goes to every home game with Dad,keeps up on all things Vikes related) and after their loss to the Saints he had a major meltdown- stomping on his Brett Favre jersey and throwing some of his Vikings stuff in his garbage can(man, what a sore loser!!)I told him if you're a true fan you support your team no matter what. I, of course, planned on rooting for my home state team the Saints in the Super Bowl...I'm not a giant follower of football but have been watching the Saints during the season and hoping they would do well...along with cheering on the Vikings too. So my Mom sent us some Saints stuff to wear on Super Bowl Sunday. Cooper vowed he would not wear his Saints shirt and told me he was rooting for the Colts by wearing his Peyton Manning jersey....Well, in the last half of the game he appearantly had a change of heart...................
Because now he WANTS to wear his Saints t shirt and is asking for a hat and a Saints jersey!!Hey, he's eight...he likes to be a part of a winning team.....although the Vikings will remain number one in his heart.....at least when football season starts in the Fall.

ha ha. it will be interesting to see what happens next year!
be a saints fan, cooper. tell your dad you want to go to all of their home games instead ;)
Awee...we were having meltdowns here as well. I wanted the Saints to win but Jaxon wanted the Colts. He started crying and I was like seriously....you could be sick and in the hospital buck up..this is JUST football {8 year old still sobbing}!
We love the Saints - I CAN NOT STAND Payton Manning(sorry cooper)!!!! The hatred began when he played college ball. But how can you not love Brees??? Ward's office manager's brother is the head trainer for the Saints so we love them a little more just because of that too. I mean who else can we really cheer for - sure people think we love the Panthers but please it's really just a cover!
