Who Dat, say who dat, when I say who dat?

Who dat was something I heard around the home as a joke. I knew it came from some Negro radio or Vaudeville show. It was funny when you heard two black comedians doing the routine. Still today the saying has been picked up by the fans of the Saints. I know there are some that say it is yet another example of poor English and it represents the poor living in the poorest areas in America, New Orleans.

That is correct, but it is funny to hear and it apparently became a good battle cry for the Saint fans. If you're going to have a battle, you need a song or battle cry to rouse the troops. So Who Dat is it for now and Congratulations to the Saints.

I never really follow sports, but I always watch the Super Bowl as it is to be the best two teams. My only disappointment is when there is a run away game. This past Sunday it was a good game and I did not care who won. I would prefer to be an owner than a player or fan. Since I don't buy sports memorabilia, I think this is one group I am not sending my money to.  I can't avoid the government, the utilities and food stores, but I believe I am the winner in this game. I get to watch and don't pay. Well I do have Dish, so there maybe something that goes to the teams from the networks, etc. which I know they make up for in ad revenue, but I don't buy  that stuff.

Speaking of ad revenue, the commercials are the best I especially liked the one with Betty White. I have been a fan of hers since the Mary Tyler Moore days. She was always coming onto Ed ??? the director of the show.
I had a chance to meet her at a dinner for the Atlanta Zoo. She is a big supported of animal care.
She has always had a sharp wit in her characters.

Let's give it up for the Saints and Betty White. Oh, Doritos had a couple of good ones too.  I liked the babies of the past for E*Trade.

On my employment front, I had a lunch with a director of  a large university's executive search team. Great guy, very sharp and down to earth. I hope that relationship will lead to a new position.

Anyone won a lottery yet or got a new job recently. How you get the job or how much did you win?
