Open Thread On Superbowl Results

$20 got me $54 US, thank you Saints!!!!

Shocking. Can't believe Manning threw that interception. Pump fake and throw long to Wayne and it would have been 7 on the board with an onside kick.

Oh well...

Not much interest here....

I don't regard hockey, football or sex as spectator sports.....

Reuben Mayes, this Bud's for you.

sasquatch, funny. I lost my interest in sports as a kid when Frank Mahovlich got traded in 1971, ruining my NHL Power Players book.

I appreciate the athleticism and demonstration of skill in all sports, but I can't get vicariously excited about guns for hire donning "my colours".

That being said, there are many athletes who do good works outside the arena, eg with kids in hospitals etc

YeeeeeeeeeeeeHaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaw, hell has frozen over and pigs are flying in NaLeans. Thank You Kate. There is even talk of Jindal declaring a National Holiday in Louisi-Yana.

Sasquatch, don't even think about raining on my Parade. 44 years we have been waiting for this event and we will not be denied. I can heya them coonass's celebrating all da way up in Shreveport.

Not to mention, you say sex is not a spectator sport, you must be doing it alone then.

God Bless Brees and the Payton Family, it was a win-win for us Louisianians, Payton could win and that was ok, or the Saints could win and that was payback for all those years Archie Manning lost as a Saint, and now, in my life time, the Saints win. All I can say is, for once, us redneck coonass's did something right.

How do you say WHO DAT in Canadian French ?
,

"WHO DAT EH"

Brees rules!

The underdogs got me 35 bucks, again!

It's not the size of the the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog.....

For years I've been carrying the weight of the Pats losing to the Giants; now I can hold my head up high...and laugh at somebody else. More seriously, I feel better about the Saints humiliating the Pats.

Oh, Man, ok,, several of us at the Office are gona head over to Popeye's and get a 3 piece spicy with redbeans and rice to celebrate the Win.

Who Dat, Who Dat say they gona beat dem Saints.

And, I apologize to Sasquatch for taking a swipe at his sex life. But, hey, you see those liberal socialist over there ? They are stupid. They can't help it. You can. End of story.

Cheers.

Hopefully this means less Peyton Manning sponserships, I'm really getting tired of seeing his face on tv.

The irony is that it was daddy's old football club that beat his sonny boy.

Judged the best Superbowl commercial. For the Canucks that don't get them.

This web cam was awesome last night, and likely will again after/during the parade tomorrow.
Save it for Mardi Gras next Tuesday.

The real superbowl will be televised from Daytona Sunday, the 14th...with less restricted restricter plates mind you. We're talking 190 MPH plus, kids.

By the way, the superbowl match up had to include two of the most good looking quarterbacks I can recall. We're talking Namath, Snake caliber.

I do believe that I called Saints by 6 is a previous thread. nice to see I got one right in the whole playoffs :-) I was a bit surprised at the low scoring for these two offensive teams. Go figure, eh.

I managed to avoid the great "0" speech or whatever and even la-la-la'd through most of the Katrina references but I am still pissed off at missing the Superbowl commercials. Frikkin' CTV threw enough Canadian Olympic crap at me to make me totally boycott their coverage.

btw, I'm sad to hear that Sasquatch doesn't enjoy sports or sex but that's life I guess.

Long gone are the days when Saints fans had to attend games wearing bags on their heads to disguise their identities.

Since this is an open thread, you guys might like this column wherein the writer asks the quest "Are liberals too condescending" and then answers it by saying "No, it is just that the conservatives insist on making up their own facts."

I think they need some commenters of a different stripe there.

And people say there's no hope for our Canucks!!!!

I didn't have a strong rooting interest in the game (I had a mild preference for the Saints). What a wonderful game it was, though, without regard to who won! Three changes in who had the lead (not counting the Colts' going ahead at the beginning), some of the finest passing I've ever seen (from both sides), a well-executed and well-timed onside kick . . .

I wrote this on another thread: BTW, I really enjoyed the healthcare pitch during the Super Bowl pre-game show. NOT! Where the hell is simu-casting when you need it? I could have used that horrendous repetitive Olympic commercial at that time.

"Do you Believe?" Yes, I believe if I had a gun I might have done the Kurt Cobain yesterday.

Anyways, good game but I thought the pacing sucked. Too many commercials!! Bad ones too! The same bad ones over and over and over...

I predicted that if the Saints could hold the Colts to 3pts in the red zone twice they'd win. They did exactly that. Way to go NO!! It couldn't have happened to a better group.

We saw the birth of a legend #9 yesterday.

I am a big Colts Fan... but after the first quarter their game plan was NOT to lose.... The Saints opened up the second half with an onside kick-off that was the game changer. Saints played to win…. and they did.

The Colts only scored 7 points in the last 3 quarters, content to play the odds.... Shitty game plan, not unlike the Riders 2 & out offence.

The Best team on the field was the Saints, the heart of a winner

BTW
The Vikings played the Saints like they were wearing Granny Mitts, or they may have won the Super bowl.. They need a Fantuz

Never trust anyone with the first name Preston.

Or whatever that other dude's first name is.

My 8-year old daughter asked me if her Teacher asked the class what does it mean now that the Saints won the Superbowl ?

I told her to say Hell has frozen over.

It was destiny for the Saints to win, it was in the cards.

Thanks Kate, and I still got to go make the rounds this evening, oh man, and Mardis Gras is next week and we will have to do it all over again, it may be weeks before I could pass a sobriety test.

Ratt:
Actually I can't help it.
Osteo-myoletis---3 busted ribs...
I've even had to give up laughing...

But I can still smile.....

Sas, on any given nite we might could share a pint, and talk a lil treason and sedition.

Cheers, God Bless Da Saints !!! God Bless Kate and her Family...

YeeeeeeHaaaaaaaaaaaaaaw , Go Saints,,,,,,,,, one more party to go, 31 - 17 ,, sweet, took down 3 future hall of famers to do it, we were blessed, it was in the stars, I bet on the colts, I don't know, it was great, it still is, Neroes to Heroes, oh man, this calls for some David Allen Coe, You Don't Even Know By My Name, cya, GO SAINTS, YeeeHaaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwww !!!!!!!!!!!

I didn't have any interest in the outcome of the game. I just wanted to see good football. I was grating a bit at the "Saints deserve this cuz of Katrina" B.S.

I was staring at the Colt's front line and thought that something was wrong with their uniforms. The blue in their jerseys seemed almost Navy. HDTV?

Then I realized what the oddity was: They were mostly WHITE players.

I don't mean to imply anything by that, but it was just a strange observation. So I Googled "NFL team most white players" and saw that the Colts and Patriots have the largest roster of white players.

Unfortunately my search went straight to a Stormfront website. I'm so glad I didn't do that at work! Big Brother woulda had my @$$!

It was fixed from the get-go.So you can't help push a guy out of bounds,and not get called for unsportsman like conduct?What's the new rules for NO now?Poor negros are still suffering from Katrina?
Hate to say it(no,I don't)this was the sorriest excuse of a so called super bowl ever.Sucker bowl,yup.Follow rhe money.

Since the Colts have won two Super Bowls already plus at least one previous NFL Championship game, while the Saints had never even been to the big game, I naturally cheered for the Saints and was very pleased by the outcome. I like to see a lot of teams get their day in the sun rather than a few hogging the glory.

I agree that I rooted for the Saints. It's nice to see that the NFL's cap seems to be providing some movement in the rankings year to year.
