The New Orleans Saints deserve without a doubt a spot in Super Bowl LIII.

Am I bias because I am a dedicated Who Dat fan, probably so, but I think even a non Who Dat would agree that they were robbed of victory!

The New Orleans Saints were denied a spot in Super Bowl LIII after losing to the Los Angeles Rams due to the referees not making the right call about a pass-interference play. The play was between Drew Brees who threw a pass directing it to Tommylee Lewis. The Rams player Nickell Roby Coleman tackled Lewis before the play was even carried out. A flag should have been called but the referees did not call the play. The game itself had been a frustrating back and forth points lead game all throughout, then it went so far as going into overtime.

Saints fans are so furious, that even local New Orleans attorney Frank D'Amico Jr. filed a lawsuit against the NFL and Roger Goodell who is the Commissioner of the National Football League.

The New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton was informed that even the officials of the NFL have admitted to them costing the Saints the game by not calling the pass-interference call that was also a helmet to helmet hit as well.

Thousands of fans are wanting a redo of the NFC Championship that then will determine the rightful team's spot in the Super Bowl.

From hype songs to local and online support and dedication to the Saints, fans from all over were getting ready for the Saints to have a shot at winning another Super Bowl since our win in 2009.

Even dedicated Rams fans themselves agreed that this was one of the worst no-calls ever seen in NFL history!

Losing because you didn't play up to snuff is one thing, but to lose because of the blatant wrongdoing of an official, a call they admit to having missed, just feels like a robbery. Hoping the Saints get a chance to earn their spot; but regardless, always a Saints fan.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
