The Saints have won the super bowl.

It's official: Anything is possible.

So, who ya got?

I think everyone on the planet has said, "well, I hope the Saints win, but the I think the Colts will probably win."

I'm going to pick the Saints. I think Freeney is going to be either unable to play or will be ineffective. He might even end up hurting the team if he plays (he has no shot if the Saints run a reverse or screen his way). My thinking is the Colts defense is only good when they get pressure from their front four and have the other seven flying around making plays. Without Good Freeney, the Saints can shift their extra blocking to Mathis and I see Brees lighting them up. The Colts are going to have to commit extra players to get any pressure and that spells trouble for their secondary that isn't anything special (especially without help behind them). You know what you are going to get from the Colts offense. I think it will be a close game and the Saints will be able to put up just a little bit more points.

Saints 31-Colts 24.

If Wayne doesn't drop that last pass I would have nailed it exactly.

It's so much more fun to watch championships you have only a minor rooting interest in. I wanted the Colts to win, but then the game was over and I haven't thought about it much.

C'est la vie.

I woke up around 2am (London) and caught the final 20 minutes. The English telecast didn't air commercials during the breaks, and instead went to commentary from Alex Smith (Niners QB) and some retired QB. Alex Smith was excellent in his commmentary. If the QB thing doesn't work out, he has a broadcasting career to look forward to.

I think it would have been fun to catch the game in an ex-pat pub.
