What a game! What a season! I called it, and it was amazing that it came true. The two teams who deserved to be in the superbowl the most actually ended up facing each other. What a perfect culmination to a season where they topped all the other teams in wins and in the case of the New Orleans Saints, even in points! The Colts and the Saints match up will be legendary in superbowl history, no doubt. It was a perfectly played game by both teams, yet, of course, everyone knows that the Saints won, bless their hearts. I must admit, I was certainly rooting for them. How can there be a professional NFL team in existence that has NEVER gone to OR won a superbowl game?? Just seems hard to fathom. It's wonderful to see Drew Brees finally getting the recognition as a quarterback that he is deserved; maybe he might even garner the salary he deserves too now (talk is, he's the 17th highest paid quarterback in the league). I'm sure he gets SO tired of all the Peyton Manning mania. And speaking of which, Peyton reportedly didn't even go over and congratulate Brees! No handshake from Pey Pey...booooo what a disgrace! He should at least be happy for Brees, he knows how it feels to finally win a superbowl title after years of hard work. Goodness, he just won his first a couple of years ago. And I'll just go on out and say it...Pey Pey blew the game, LOL. Some folks are trying to lay the blame on Hank Baskett for letting the ball bounce off of him during the Saints on side kick...but nah. At that point, the Colts were still winning and they even scored again very soon after the third quarter began. It was that interception Peyton threw in the fourth quarter. Sorry!! Anyway, what a great game, I'm still reeling about it. Congratz to the Saints on a season and job well done! :D
I called it...yep, I called way back when in the beginning of the NFL season that the two (then) undefeated teams would and SHOULD meet each other in the Superbowl. And guess what happened? The Saints and the Colts are those two teams!!! WOOOOO! Well, I'm not surprised, they truly were the best two teams this year. It's also interesting that it came down to the best three teams being in the running: Saints, Vikings, and Colts. Not sure how the New York Jets slithered their way into playing for the Superbowl shot....*pregnant pause to ponder*....yeah, just glad that Peyton Manning and the Colts put that young whipper snapper Mark Sanchez in his place. I mean, don't get me wrong. he had a GREAT season and as a fellow Trojan I am proud of him, but we really don't need no rookie quarterbacks going to the Superbowl! Who would be able to tell him anything after that if he did? Dude is already from Southern Cal, big head city, he doesn't need to add an historical accomplishment to his resume! But anyway, I am happy for both Superbowl bound teams, and I think it's the perfect match-up. I just hope that the Saints shake off their "first time going to the Superbowl" high well before the game on February 7. Sometimes, performing well on one special occasion can be a deterrent for continuing the trend. not sure who I am rooting for yet, but I just hope it's a good game! :D
It's getting down to the wire. The NFL playoffs are just weeks away. It's pretty much a clinched deal that the Saints have won the NFC division title and that the Colts have won the AFC division title. It also seems like a clincher that these two teams will match up in the Superbowl, but not so fast. The playoffs are an entirely different animal than the regular season. Yes, they are both undefeated, but an undefeated season doesn't always speak to a team's real ability. Some of those wins were what I call "squeakers:" meaning they just squeaked by and ended up with the win. Also, they don't always play the same teams in the regular season that they will end up playing in the playoffs, so regular season foes may not be a good representation of the playoff ones. See, that's the thing about the NFL playoffs (different than the NBA): it's "do or die." It doesn't matter what your regular season was like, you lose one game in the playoffs and it's adios. How frustrating would it be for a team to go undefeated in the regular season and get knocked off with their first playoff game? LOL And technically, once the playoffs start, a teams regular season record doesn't even matter any more. That's why I don't really enjoy the NFL playoffs like I do the NBA playoffs. (I usually don't even start watching NBA games UNTIL the playoffs start!). I'd rather just hold my breath until I see which two teams are going to the Superbowl. Anywho, I sure am happy for my boys the Saints, but, I have to admit that having an undefeated regular season can often set a team up to fail in the playoffs and I'm real nervous about their Superbowl prospects. Hmmmmmmm
There's some hot, hot HOTNESS over there in Texas and New Orleans ya'll. I mean HOT in more ways than one. Will Demps (right) is a safety for the Houston Texans and wears the number 47. This biracial babe is mixed with African-American and Korean. As far as I know, he is not married and unattached. Darren Sharper (left) plays safety for the New Orleans Saints and wears number 42. Gabrielle Union had a shot with this hottie and missed her chance. He is definitely single. Now I'm not trying to promote groupie love...but...I'm just saying, if you're still looking for a husband...HAHA! Hey, neither have any baby mommas, both are well educated, and both are sexy scorpios...so you know. Hmmmm. Doesn't it seem like some people were just born to personify perfection?? I think so. YUMMY! Can't wait 'til football season starts! ;)
