Official Super Bowl Thread February 7, 2010

Colts vs Saints.

One storied franchise, the Colts, vs the Ain'ts. Ain't got no history. Ain't got no story. Ain't got no Manning, no more. Ain't got no city. OK, they got that back. Mostly.

But we do have what looks like a hulluva good Super Bowl.

Always loved the Colts. Loved the horseshoe on the helmet. Johnny Unitas breaking records. Winning The Greatest Game Ever Played. Lenny Moore, Hall of Fame running back, Raymond Berry leaning out of bounds to catch the ball. Gino Marchetti, Defensive End. "Big Daddy" Lipscomb. Jim Parker. Alan "The Horse" Ameche.

Gotta like Drew Brees.

Don't have a big favourite in this one. Just gonna watch.

Love the way Peyton Manning conducts the offence.

Colts in a walk

I like the Saints and as a former US taxpayer I should consider then my team as my taxes did rebuild that stadium...

but they should'nt even be there
so Colts by 14

but they should'nt even be there

Even though they beat the Cardinals and the Vikings fair and square?

[KnowItAll]

if both teams bring there A game, I think it be closer than most think. If either team fails to do so, then it wont be pretty.

I am a colts fan, but the idea of the saints winning their first one, and so close after katrina, has some appeal. So I am mostly hoping for a good quality game by both.

I could care less. It's about pizza, wings friends and beer...then more beer....did I mention the beer already?...whoops...beer.

Buono reveals his Colts colours

By Mike Beamish, Vancouver SunFebruary 4, 2010

B.C. Lions head coach and general manager Wally Buono has a rooting interest in Sunday's Super Bowl. He's partial to the Indianapolis Colts for two reasons: quarterback Peyton Manning and Colts' president Bill Polian, who was a Montreal scout when Buono was an Alouette.

"I can't not root for Peyton Manning," Buono says. "He's too good of a guy, too good of a quarterback. I like everything that he stands for. I can imagine that it's not easy on him either." Buono is in West Palm Beach -- an hour's drive from Sun Life Stadium, site of Super Bowl XLIV -- for CFL meetings this week.

Bill Polian built 3 NFL teams into Super Bowl contenders:

Buffalo Bills

Carolina Panthers

Indianapolis Colts

He hired Marv Levy to coach the Bills.

Clearly the Colts are favoured but I'll take the sentimental favourite ... Hopefully the Saints D can step up and contain Manning's passing attack

Do the Colts have an answer for Reggie Bush?

Go Saints!

[Robbie]

3rd and goal from the 1 at the 2 minute warning.

Hope the Saints can tie the game.

[Robbie]

A loss!

Fourth down - go for it?

[Robbie]

Stopped!!!

If the Saints lose this game, this can be the turning point of the game.

[Coast Mountain Lion]

Is Chap in there calling goal line plays for the Aints?

[KnowItAll]

wow, that almost made me want to jump onto the olympic bandwagon.

[KnowItAll]

I dont care if they did recover the ball, still a dumb decision IMO. Could have thrown the whole game away.

[Robbie]

TD !!!
