Remember after 9/11? the Pats became "America's team". Everyone was patriotic and wudda you know the Pats won the SuperBowl as an underdog This year its safe to say that whoever comes out of the AFC is the favorite to win the superbowl. If the Saints win vs the Bears which was similar to the Pats beating the #1 seed Steelers back then, Do you all think that it is meant to be for the Saints to win after Hurricane Katrina and as the current "America's team"?
That is why I'm rooting for the Bears. If the Saints go to the SUperbowl, I don't see how "America's Team" could lose
so the superbowl could be America's "Old Team" vs America's "New Team." That could create some sort of hole into another dimension.... weird.
Actually Tony Eason started the game and they brought Grogan in late 1st/early 2nd quarter. It didn't help.
Eason may have started the game, but to call him the QB of the game is like saying Brooks Bollinger was NYJs starting QB last year...Technically correct, but realistically incorrect
For some reason, I think the NFL was rigged this season. OK, it wasn't my reason, but this was my friends theory: He believed the NFL paid the Texans under-the-table to draft Mario Williams so NO could draft Bush. Then he goes along to say that many analysts believed the Texans' GM was a horrible GM, so they give him a chance at Gametime in ESPNews, to prove he is an intelligent GM. Everything is just perfect for NO right now, the Katrina disaster, drafting Bush, and most likely a Super Bowl. It seems scripted to me, minus the disaster obviously. Remember that it is not my theory so don't knock on me or anything. It makes sense to me.
You could go either way with that one, they were back and forth most of that season. Eason took over late in the season, let them to three playoff wins on the road and into the Super Bowl, when they brought Grogan back in.
Yeah, he just needs to make his neck about a foot longer and he'd look like Grogan. That was Vinny's original number at U of Miami and Tampa Bay. Then he was #12 at Cleveland/Baltimore, that was odd, too.
If the Saints win it would be something "new", but we wouldn't hear the end of if from the media. "Oh the city of N.O. has come from such a tragedy in Hurricane Katrina, and they make it right with the Superbowl Victory."
If the Saints win it all this year, we should all laugh at Archie Manning for having Payton stay in school an extra year so the Tuna wouldn't trade him to New Orleans. Saints 1 Mannings 0
whoever wins in the NFC, that is fine with me, although i guess i'm rooting for the saints and jay bellamy....matawan represent
