Bonus: victory shots of Jameson (classy), little yellow penalty flags to throw at the screen when angry and champagne poppers for the end of the game.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; I wanted that 4th Down conversion for\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/#!\/ChaseDaniel\">Chase Daniel<\/a> so bad. Maybe more than he wanted it. Did you see his face on the sidelines after the offsides call? Here&#8217;s hoping we get to see another attempt. (You should know that I&#8217;m a complete sucker for trick plays. Give &#8217;em to me all the time, please.)<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; I know it wasn&#8217;t necessary, but I wish that Sproles would have completed the &#8220;I&#8217;m better than Reggie Bush&#8221; transition and done\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/youtu.be\/nq7Wr--qN9g\">this<\/a> instead of the obviously-out-of-bounds tip-toe move in the 4th. \u00a0P.S.:\u00a0A funny idea for you from me: Get a customized #25 jersey from the Saints with &#8220;Sproles&#8221; written on the back.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Ingram&#8217;s fumble was unfortunate, but I think deep down everyone in New Orleans knew that it meant we were going to get at least one more sack on Cutler. As long as the rookie&#8217;s confidence isn&#8217;t too shaken, I say this was a positive thing.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; I tried a new line on visiting team fans on my bike ride home from the R Bar. As I zoomed past them on my <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bikes.com.au\/p\/1204146\/2011-schwinn-hornet.html\">Hornet Cruiser<\/a> I shouted &#8220;at least you got a nice vacation!&#8221; This is the current Champion of combination &#8220;We Won&#8221; taunts plus &#8220;But seriously, thanks for visiting.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; The Falcons win does little to sour my mood.
