OK, let’s put in one GUTSY call by Sean Payton to start the second half of Super Bowl 44 with an onside kick that WORKS!

Add in a late interception to Tracy Porter to put the last bit of spice into the gumbo and you’ve got a one way ticket to Super Bowl and Football Immortality!

Congratulations Who Dat Nation!  You’ve earned it.  You knocked off Kurt Warner, Brett Favre, and now the alleged greatest of all time quarterbacks, Peyton Manning!  We know Drew Brees has pushed himself into the limelight of that debate.  We’ll see how the rest of his career pans out.

It really was a tough game but in the end, the never say die attitude and overall skill of all phases (offense, defense, special teams) gave the Saints the Lombardi Trophy over the Indianapolis Colts.  Now Mardis Gras can really get down and funky this year.
