Commentary: Saints blessed with improbable run, Superbowl clash to be memorable
We as football fans witnessed two great football teams win their divisional championship games. The Indianapolis Colts and the New Orleans Saints were crowned victorious in the AFC and NFC, respectively, last Sunday, thus putting an end to the Rex Ryan and Brett Favre talk.
First, the Colts. The Colts have been a lot of people’s season long Superbowl pick to be the big game winner. The powerhouse Colts are lead by first year head coach Jim Caldwell and the touted Peyton Manning, who is coming off his record fourth MVP. Feb. 7th will mark Manning’s second superbowl in four years. Cladwell replaces Tony Dungy as the latter left the Colts to work with NBC.
Needless to say, the Saints will be coming in as the underdog. For starters, New Orleans has never reached the Superbowl, until now. Moreover, there is the emotional baggage the Saints seem to be unable to stop lugging around with them. These are the Saints who, just a few short years ago, opened their stadium to a city full of people displaced by one of the worst natural disasters to strike America in the 21st century. These are the same Saints whose owner was once rumored to be moving this tumultuous team to another location.
Just getting to this infamous game proves to the people of New Orleans that this team knows what it means to play where legends have been born and forgotten. Winning would be another monumental step forward altogether.
There is one thing that may be grumbling in the back of the minds of Saint’s fans; Brett Farve.
This chum of a quarterback plays for the Minnesota Vikings, or at least did through the 2009-2010 year, but was pivotal in the Saints win over the Vikings. After Farve’s costly interception late in the game, both sportswriters and fans said the Saints won on the heels of Farve’s mistake.
The real reason the Saints upset the Vikings was that New Orleans produced fewer turnovers than the Vikings, a crucial aspect in winning playoff games.
The Saints deserve credit for the win they earned. I am glad that the Vikings didn’t make it to the Superbowl. The incessant chattering over Farve’s dwindling career would have likely been perpetuated to a level that even the most long winded anchors behind the desks of ESPN would scowl at. Favre will probably do what he is famous for doing; dragging out his retirement saga for as long as the media will give him play.
I am picking the Saints to win the Superbowl. It might be wishful thinking, but with the right mixture of focus and heart, the New Orleans Saints stand to pull out another huge upset. Final score; Saints, 31, Colts, 23.
