Well, this has been all my life in the making! WOW! I am still in shock this morning! Wearing my Saints T-Shirt to work - first time without a tie at work for me. I don't care, though! SAINTS HAVE WON THE SUPERBOWL! Hell froze over and I get to wear whatever I want today!
The game last night was amazing. Who would have thought that the Saints could actually pull of a shut out in the second half. And the onside kick....incredible!!!
Sean Peyton and his staff showed us all (including the Dolts) HOW TO WIN a big game against a big-time opponent by taking it to them and showing a new defensive scheme each quarter.

Who says good guys finish last?
The Saints won the Super Bowl!
that last picture is priceless.
If you need some more Saints pumping, check out this clip from the Vikings game and watch Coach Peyton motivating his players. Awesome!! What a leader!!!

Wow is right. The Saints got it done. In their 3 playoff games, they forced 8 turnovers and only gave 1 away. They scored 2 Defensive/ST TDs, Hartwell was 5 of 5 from FG, Morestead did a nice job of punting. Special teams is often overlooked, but the Saints did very well in that area and it is the only reason they won the Vikings game, it sealed the Cards game (Reggie return), and it was a big part of winning the Super Bowl.
Obviously, Brees threw 8 TDs to 0 Ints, and he was just ridiculous last night, picking the Colts apart.
Saints played to win last night, the Colts played not to lose. The Saints played their game, the Colts clammed up a little. Not what I expected from the Colts, and I was kind of worrying that the Saints might clam up some, but Payton came out swinging in both halves. Onside kick, going for it on fourth, absolutely willing to lay it on the line to win the game.
Anybody been listening to "The Saints Are Coming" by U2/ Green Day? Emotional and moving, especially today.
