Just a few years ago, nobody would have believed you if you told them that the New Orleans Saints would be the Super Bowl champions of the 2009 season. After hurricane Katrina ravaged the city in 2005, the future of the franchise was uncertain. Their stadium was refuge to thousands left homeless by the disaster. However, the Saints decided to stay and rebuild their team while the city of New Orleans rebuilt itself. Now, four years later, New Orleans has their first ever Super Bowl victory. They defeated the Indianapolis Colts in Super Bowl XLIV yesterday by the score of 31-17.
