I'm checking the weather channel now to see if hell has frozen over.
Why? The N'awlins Saints are in the Super Bowl. Who dat? Dem Saints?
Not only do I want the Saints to win the Super Bowl in 2 weeks, I want them to clobber the Colts into oblivion. A month ago I used to like Indy. The Colts had a chance for a perfect season and they chucked it....lost their final 2 games to "rest" their starters.
Barf.
You don't rest anyone when you have a shot at sports immortality. When you are 14-0 you put your foot on the throat of your opponent and not let up. No wonder why Urban Meyer got sick.....he watched the Colts lose.... ON PURPOSE.
Let's face it folks, no one remembers who won the Super Bowl 5 years ago but everyone remembers that the Dolphins were the last NFL team to go undefeated. Richard Nixon was POTUS then. And frankly, we're all more than a little sick and tired of Mercury Morris and Co. reminding us how great that '73 team was.
After the Saints were 13-0, a reporter asked Sean Payton if New Orleans would try and go undefeated even if they had home field advantage wrapped up. His reply, "Hell yeah." This is a guy I would follow into battle. And who doesn't like the Drew Brees story? Hollywood couldn't have scripted this storyline any better - I'm buying Saint gear tomorrow.
The Colts were thisclosetogreatness....
And they rested their starters.
New Orleans has everything going against and most of the homes look like Fred Sanford's yet for some reason, the city and people live on and today the Who Dat Nation celebrates the Saints first ever Super Bowl birth. Huge. Huuuuuuuuge.
Go Saints
