a person who thought the COLTS were going to win. It's like Woodstock, 5 million people said they were there
but the attendance was more like 5-800,000. Thank goodness VEGAS keeps em honest. If you were "pulling"
for the Saints, but put MONEY on the Colts, you LOST. Haha.
That's for all you who didn't look at it intellectually and sentimentally.
The Saints have a ton of really good players, the Colts have one GREAT player and one Great player on a gimpy leg.
Much as I love my LA homeboys, Reggie Wayne ain't Reggie Wayne no more.
After Dallas Clark caught about 5 balls in a row, I knew we had it in the bag. But to tell you the truth, I never
doubted for a second after the Cardinals win. Drew Brees, Reggie Bush, Pierre Thomas, Jeremy Shockey,
Marcus Colston, Lance Moore, an awakened Robert Meachem, Devery Freaking Henderson's speedy-a$$.
And that's just the offense. Our D was banged up the final third of the season. They were ALL back in shape
for the SBowl. How you gonna bet AGAINST THAT?

I was absolutely sure the Saints would be WORLD CHAMPIONS because I live 32 miles from the Superdome and I looked at things like strength of schedule and how each team won all the games that they did. The Saints played a more difficult schedule and played hard against the good teams to pull out wins. Sure there were some close calls and some losses but if going undefeated was easy there would be more than two teams to have done it. And I believe that if our "D" starters wouldn't have been in bad shape in December that the Cowboys wouldn't have won (they won by only 7 pts and that wasn't a beating). The Tampa and Carolina games were throw aways so that the starters wouldn't get hurt - and we still lost one player to injured reserve.

Here's something else that Colts fans can believe in. This wasn't the last Superbowl for Manning and company. The Colts are still too good to miss the playoffs.
