Un Bon Dieu!

That was nice of the Saints to make my upset win prediction come true and then some. I guess we can put Peyton Manning in the same company as Elway as a QB who scored a quick 10 then got dominated. Not quite the same since the Skins beat the broncos 655-10 that year but the sentiment is the same.

The people who should really be heartbroken are in San Diego. I think we can all agree that the draft that landed them both Tomlinson and Brees was one of the greatest two round hauls in history. Nice that the they decided to blow that thing up so they could get Doug Flutie and Phil Rivers on the field for a few more snaps. How'd that work out for ya?

Honorable mention for sickest franchise? Miami Dolphins. They passed on Brees to get a good look at that Chad Pennington magic. Good times.

Another season is now in the books and the world is back where it belongs. Bourbon street probably looks like a scene out of The Libertine about now, Peyton Manning choked again and the Oakland Raiders are now back to .500 (o-o) and are still being screwed in HOF voting.

So . . . . . . when is the draft?

LAST THOUGHT: Watching the postgame interview with Reggie Bush and Kim Kardashian, she mentioned something about quitting her job so they could focus on Reggie winning a Super Bowl every year, like they did this year. Two questions: 1) You have a job? Doing what exactly? 2) Where is the petition for me to sign?

There Are 2 Teams, Right?

It's hard to believe how much love the Colts are getting heading into this weekend's Super Bowl.

The refrain from nearly every pundit of note is that the Colts will win, fairly handily, because Peyton Manning is unstoppable. It seems as if they have no other reason to think so highly of the Colts because that's the only reason given.

I've actually been hearing comparisons between this years game and the Colts/Bears Super Bowl a few years ago, which is absurd. The Saints are far superior to that offensively bankrupt Bears team. Let us also not forget how Peyton Manning, just a few short years ago, was a guy who couldn't win outside when the had to go up to New England. manning got flustered and choked in the fresh air.

Also being forgotten by the media is the fact that the Saints are far better suited for playing on the grass. They are a better running team, have bigger receivers and have a defense that isn't completely reliant on speed. The Colts have almost no running game to speak of and receivers who seem to play much better on the fast track than they do on turf. They also have a small defense that gets smaller if Freeney isn't full speed.

It's as if people forget that the Saints were 13-0 at one point as well. I don't think the Saints should be the favorite or anything but the game is a pick-em, not a Colts -6 situation.

My pick Saints 28 Colts 24.
