Tempting The Gris-Gris

I know Saints fans everywhere are excited about the 11-0 start. But Saints fans of all people should be well aware of the power of the "hex", and therefore should avoid things like this, which I found buried in the article linked here:

Even Mardi Gras is making way. One parade was canceled because it was set to roll on Feb. 7, the day the Super Bowl will be played in Miami. Another parade will be moved to the following Tuesday if the Saints make it to the big game.

That's what I call getting ahead of ourselves. All the 11-0 record means is that the Saints will finish no worse than 11-5. To be canceling Mardi Gras parades at this point, on the assumption the Saints will be in the Super Bowl, is sure to cause a major gris-gris to envelope the Superdome!
