MIAMI – A few hours before the greatest moment of his football career, was in a chair, in his hotel, getting the most prophetic haircut of his life. Three images were being carved into his head: a Lombardi Trophy, the Louisiana Superdome and “SB44” – an homage to Super Bowl XLIV. Threading the three images together was a road, meant to symbolize the journey from New Orleans to the NFL’s ultimate victory.
The only thing that was missing from the image was Porter himself, and the Saints following in his wake to the Lombardi Trophy, and the greatest sports triumph in New Orleans’ history.
“Now you can look at the Lombardi Trophy on that same road,” he would say of his haircut on Sunday night, “going back to the Superdome.”
