The coach had put together the perfect team for the New Orleans Saints. <br /> <br /> The only thing missing was a good quarterback. He had scouted all the colleges and even the Canadian and European Leagues, but he couldn't find a ringer who could ensure a Super Bowl victory.<br /> <br /> Then one night, while watching CNN, he saw a war-zone scene in Afghanistan. In one corner of the background, he spotted a young Afghan Muslim soldier with a truly incredible arm. He threw a hand-grenade straight into a window from 80 yards away. Then he threw another from 50 yards down a chimney, and then hit a passing car going 80 miles per hour.<br /> <br /> I've got to get this guy!" coach said to himself. "He has the perfect arm!"<br /> <br /> So, he brings the young Afghan to the States and teaches him the great game of football ....... and sure enough the Saints go on to win the Super Bowl.<br /> <br /> The young Afghan is hailed as a hero of football, and when the coach asks him what he wants, all the young man wants to do is call his mother.<br /> <br /> "Mom," he says into the phone, "I just won the Super Bowl!"<br /> <br /> "I don't want to talk to you," the old Muslim woman says. "You deserted us. You are not my son!"<br /> <br /> "Mother, I don't think you understand," pleads the son, "I've just won the greatest sporting event in the world!"<br /> <br /> "No! let me tell you," his mother retorts. "At this very moment there are gunshots all around us. The neighborhood is a pile of rubble. Your two brothers were beaten within an inch of their lives last week, and I have to keep your sister in the house so she doesn't get raped!"<br /> <br /> The old lady pauses then tearfully says, " I will never forgive you for making us move to New Orleans
