Five-year-old Eric Collins III expressed what many New Orleans Saints felt after Sunday's (Jan. 14) heartbreaking playoff loss to the Minnesota Vikings.
Tears streaming down both cheeks at the dinner table, he turns to his mother, Jessica Collins, she she videos him and tell her, "My heart is crying." When she asks why, he gasps for air between sobs and explains, "My heart loves the Saints...I'm serious."
Jessica Collins and her husband are from New Orleans, but the family has lived in in Helena, Ala., just outside Birmingham since 2008. Their son grew up a Saints fan like his parents.
