The entire city of New Orleans erupted into jubilant celebration after the Saints won the first Super Bowl in franchise history, bringing some much needed joy to the residents of Louisiana's largest city. However one man, R.J. Chapman, 29, quickly grew tired of pretending to enjoy the Saints' victory, and uneasily confessed to several of his closest friends that he's not really a Saints fan.
"I just told my friends I'm happy for them and their team, but I frankly don't care that the Saints won," said Chapman immediately after dropping the bombshell in the midst of the citywide party. "They weren't too happy to hear their longtime friend wasn't a Saints fan, but I couldn't carry the charade on any longer. In fact, I don't even like football."
Finally relieved to have told his dark secret, Chapman, who also admitted he didn't even watch the Super Bowl, is now free to explore his other interests without the burden of having to carry on his imaginary love affair with the city's football team.
"I've lived a lie for so long, eventually I knew I'd have to come clean, and let them know the truth. I don't like the Saints! Wow, it feels good to say that. Even though it means I've now completely isolated myself, as everyone else has put their lives on hold since the Saints' victory. It's almost like they forgot their life had purpose prior to the Super Bowl. Seriously people, what is this strange hold they have over you? Doesn't anyone else have a job?"
