Growing up in New Orleans ain't easy. Sure, to an outsider, it looks like the sun is always shining, beer flows from every faucet, and every day is Mardi Gras. But the truth is the sun can create weather hot enough to boil gumbo in your pants, what looks like beer flowing from the tap is actually supposed to be water, and Mardi Gras may only come once a year, but the other 364 days are spent cleaning up after it.

And the cherry on the top of this truthiness sundae is the New Orleans Saints, a team that has gone without a single measly Super Bowl appearance for 43 years ... until this Sunday. That's why Asylum has asked me, Danny Gallagher, to live blog Super Bowl XLIV, as I watch my beloved hometown team attempt to break their four-plus-decade-long losing streak and bring the Vince Lombardi trophy back to the Crescent City.

Go here to join the Super Bowl Convertweet (tweetsation? well, whatever...) right now.

Editor's Note: Gallagher will be Livetweeting Super Bowl Sunday at Asylum.com along with Asylum and NPR contributor Renny MacKay, a guy who thinks Peyton Manning is pretty cool. He's also Canadian and sent us a bunch of Canadian football jokes, but we didn't understand any of them. Regardless, they're both pretty funny and know more about the game than the rest of us.
