Super Bowl

Those E-Trade baby commercials are the best part about watching the Super Bowl. Who doesn’t love a baby talking? That’s what I thought, no one. Because it is absolutely hilarious. And did you see the Brett Favre commercial? That fool may be playing in 10 years, and after every season the guy is going to retire and come back. Props to Doritos. Their commercials didn’t suck this year, but shame on you, beer commercials. You all sucked, except maybe the house of Bud Light, and well, the Miller High Life commercial was good, but that was to be expected.
Plus Bourbon Street is going to be partying like its 1988, the first time the Saints made the playoffs. And MVP Peyton Manning throws a pick six to basically hand the championship to the Saints. What wasn’t great about this Super Bowl? The Who?
Super Bowl Champions for the first time in franchise history must be a great feeling for the Saints after defeating the Indianapolis Colts 31-17 in dominating fashion Feb. 7.
The Saints slow start was a mere shadow as the high-powered offense started to gain speed in the second quarter while it trailed 6-10 to the Colts, but the burners hit full thrust coming out of halftime. With one of the gutsiest play calls in Super Bowl history, Saints Head Coach Sean Payton calls for an onside kick to start the third quarter and the Saints recovered, mostly thanks to the lack of hand skills by the Colts.
The Saints capitalized with a touchdown to gain its first lead of the game 13-10. Colts quarterback Peyton Manning had an answer as he drove his team down the field to reclaim the lead 17-13,
but this was the end of the offensive explosiveness the Colts had displayed all season. Well, at least until they gave up to rest their players for a run at the Super Bowl.
How did that turn out for the Colts? Not so good. Yeah, next time do the NFL a favor, try during the regular season because resting your players didn’t help. At least the Saints tried for the undefeated season. Yes, they failed but who won the Super Bowl?
Yeah next time don’t throw history out the door because you think it will better your chances to win the Super Bowl. Now back to the game.
The Saints offense answered the Colts touchdown with a field goal, and later a touchdown before Manning seemed like he would bring the Colts down for a game tying touchdown and possibly the first Super Bowl overtime.
Saints cornerback Tracy Porter had a different plan as he jumped a hitch route and picked off Manning, returning it 73 yards for a touchdown to put the final touches on a Saints victory.
The game was not as high scoring as people had expected due to the underestimated speed that both defenses displayed. However, it was the Saints pesky blitz on a third down that made the difference, as its defense had done so much throughout the season.
