I love the way the national sports media has decided the the Colts have won the Superbowl already. All we're hearing and reading down here is that the other team shouldn't even show up because the Colts have already won because they have been here before.

If...(and it's a big IF, because he gets rid of the ball so well) the Saints can pound on Manning like they pounded on Favre, I think they've got a chance. A good chance at that.

Having watch Manning play since he was in high school down here, there is no doubt that he is a great quarterback and he an win games for his team. On the other hand, I have seen him lose games too. What it is going to come down to is which team can execute their offensive and defensive game plans the best. Both teams have their good things and their bad.

I am just getting tired of the media - 99 percent of who were on the Saints bandwagon before the Dallas game - now basically saying the Saints shouldn't bother showing up because the Colts have won a Super Bowl in Miami before. AS IF that determines who is going to win.

I actually expect it to be a good game.

You need to switch channels.

How many times do we have to hear how important the Saints are and how big this is.

It's a football game. Let's talk about that.

Knowing Freeney will not be at 100% even if he plays, we needed some good news. Here it is:

Where did I say anything about how important the Saints are and how big this is? I also have not invoked the nasty "K" word or talked about anything other than football related. (Frankly, I'm about fed up with that crap and I live down here.)

I was just mentioning how the major media outlets have already decided that this game is over and the Colts have won.

THIS IS ABOUT FOOTBALL! THE GAME ISN'T DECIDED UNTIL THE FINAL SECONDS TICK OFF THE CLOCK. So let's not appoint a winner a week before the kickoff.


So if you don't like it... well, kiss it....

One day closer.

Any news from Indiana about Freeny?

Maybe Manning will give the " We had protection problems" speech/ interview, after the game.

Mikey! Good to see you bro, figured you were hanging with Little Ben and the rest of the Steelers down in PA...... You know WATCHInG the playoffs on the tube,

I am equally tired of the Colts have been here and won in Miami as I am tired of this would be great for the city of New Orleans, it is a football game, a little perspective is in order I think.

It WILL be a good game and if there is no Freeney it will be that much closer. Both teams had great years and are "deserving" of winning it all.

Gotta give the media a little wiggle room for nonsense though, two weeks is a long time to lead up to a game.

I just don't want to hear any more Who Dat. It is driving me crazy. As I got off the plane this week walking through the airport 5 people chimed out with Who Dat?!? Ugh.

From what I see there is a lot of sentiment towards the Saints. I have seen a lot of people pick them.
