I grew up in a place where it snows a lot. I loved it when I was a kid. Things changed when I got a job. I've spent nearly my entire adult life in Acadiana and it's the place I'm pleased to call home. I raised my children here, and my grandson Nathan is growing up here.

Their last Super Bowl championship was 24 seasons ago. They're widely perceived as overhyped, overpaid and underachieving. So, who is America’s team now?...
