Well, unless you are living in a hole with Osama Bin Laden, you know the New Orleans Saints won the Super Bowl!
This was the Saints first time at a Super Bowl, so the victory was just a little sweeter. The Saints overcame an early 10-point deficit, pulled off a risky onside kick and won their FIRST NFL title by beating the Indianapolis Colts 31-17 Sunday night. Drew Brees, the quarterback for the Saints, tied a Super Bowl record for completions and was voted the game’s MVP, while the Saints held Peyton Manning to a single score in the final three quarters, intercepting him for a touchdown that sealed the victory.
Drew Brees said, “Four years ago, who ever thought this would be happening when 85 percent of the city was under water? Most people left not knowing if New Orleans would ever come back, or if the organization would ever come back. We just all looked at one another and said, `We are going to rebuild together. We are going to lean on each other.’ This is the culmination in all that belief.”
Sean Payton, head coach for the Saints, stated,”we really felt as underdogs we had the better team. To be in that position where maybe a lot of people were picking against us, we liked the spot we were in.”
Although Peyton Manning said the loss for the Colts was “disappointing,” he could appreciate what the end result meant to Louisiana. Manning said, “I certainly know how it was three years ago when we won. I know the people of New Orleans and the Saints have that same feeling right now.”
The Saints played awesome, and the Colts played terrible. I don’t understand why these players can’t just say,”we worked our asses off…we deserve this!!” Why must they always acknowledge Hurricane Katrina?! Katrina didn’t give them football knowledge. Katrina didn’t train their asses when they were young for this moment. Are they saying Katrina gave them heart and dedication? Are they saying it took a hurricane for them to get heart and dedication for a sport they should LOVE and get paid a f*ck ton for?! WRONG answer. It shouldn’t take a hurricane to give you heart and dedication for your sport, your team, or your town/state!
I think they need to quit with the sympathy vote…they don’t need it. The Saints are good…they have proven that. At the end of the day, what do Katrina survivors have? A great football team!
CONGRATS to the NEW ORLEANS SAINTS!!! The Saints deserved this win!!
