Finally, a super Super Bowl
Greetings bloggers. I'm sure many of you are like me on this Monday morning, trying to recover from watching last night's Super Bowl.
What a game it was. New Orleans pulls a rabbit out of its hat with an onside kick to start the second half and with it, took the momentum away from the Colts, cruising to its first NFL championship.
How about Drew Brees? Can he finally get the respect of being the best current quarterback in the NFL? His heroics this season haven't gone unnoticed, especially with all the press the Saints have had by their success. However, Brees has put up almost identical numbers that he had this year for the last three or four seasons. I know, because he's the quarterback on my fantasy football keeper league team. The guy is awesome.
Something else that I thought about the last two weeks leading up to the big game was how far the Saints have come in such a short time span.
It wasn't that long ago when the Saints were known as the "Aints." They were the laughing stock of the NFL. People wore brown paper bags over their heads at games because they were embarrased to be associated with such a terrible franchise.
Sound familiar?
If you're from this area it should, because the Detroit Lions have replaced the Saints as the laughing stock of the NFL.
However, New Orleans has just proved that any professional team can turn it around if you have the right mix of players, coaches, ownership and fans who believe in their team.
Call me a Lions slappy, but I believe there will be a day when the Lions, like the Saints did this year, will walk out of the locker room and onto a field that has the NFL Logo painted at the 50-yard line, and an end zone painted Honolulu Blue with Silver lettering trimmed in Black that reads LIONS.
It's going to happen some day, I just hope when it does, the halftime show features an aging group like AC/DC, instead of an aging act like Carrie Underwood.
Give me your thoughts on this year's Super Bowl. And, do you agree that the Lions will someday play in this game.
