When the New Orleans Saints began their march to the Super Bowl this season, the hidden but visible man who helped make all of this possible sat just shy of Pluto on the 600 level of the Louisiana Superdome. It was disgusting, I mean, nothing against Deuce McAllister, the Saints' all-time leading rusher who was asked by franchise officials to lead the team onto the field for its home playoff game against the Arizona Cardinals, but he is no Joe Horn. "I never sat in the stands before, but I was up there with the fans, and they were just stunned to see me," Horn said, telling FanHouse that he bought his own ticket to watch his old team clobber the Cardinals. "I wanted to sit in the nose-bleed section. I wanted to be with the rowdy of the rowdies, and I also wanted to be me, and that's exactly what I was. The 50 to 100 people who got the autographs and the hugs from me, they got them, and they enjoyed themselves, and I enjoyed myself. "But they kept asking me throughout the game, 'Joe, we love it that you're up here with us, sharing your hot dogs, eating popcorn with us, enjoying the game with us, but why aren't you down on the sidelines right now?' "It was because Horn wasn't invited, in fact, ever since he ended his seven wonderful years with the Saints after the 2006 season by ripping head coach Sean Payton on the way out of the free-agent door ("This town isn't big enough for Joe Horn and Sean Payton") -- well, let's just say, if the Saints beat the Indianapolis Colts in the Super Bowl, Horn won't receive a special world championship ring.

I could understand if he was with the team this season and got injured or something, but he hasn't played with them since 2006. Please, shut the heck up.
