Super Bowl

In response to some other posts:

1. Freeny only had 1 sack. That's not a "dominating" performance.

2. "Bad" officiating? I was pleased that they let the teams play without a lot of yellow flags. But since it was brought up, there were some Colt players who should have been flagged for unnecessary roughness for kicking and taking swings at Saint's players, too.

3. The refs didn't give the Saints the game. If the two point conversion call had been held up, the Saints would have still won by 12 points. The game was won when Porter intercepted Manning and ran it back for the touchdown.

4. Conspiracy theories are for losers, to make them feel better for losing. How about all those stories over the past two week saying the Colts were head and shoulders better than the Saints and that basically all the Colts had to do was walk on the field and the Saints would curl up on the sidelines.

5. This was a good game. Manning will be a first ballot Hall of Fame QB. The game came down to two plays by the Saints - the onside kick to open the 2nd half and the interception return by Porter.

I don't believe anyone called it a dominating performance (straw man). But, he looked pretty good for having a torn ligament in his ankle and being doubled on every play.

Actually, if that call was upheld, it's a completely different game. The Colts would have been looking to run the clock rather than needing a score. But, I didn't have a problem with that call, it was a good challenge. At least the plane was actually broken, unlike the Minnesota game.

No doubt the two key plays in the game.

I can't believe the guts to go for an onside kick, down in the game when pretty much dominated in the first half. Amazing!

But they are pretty creative and entertaining.
