Congratulations, New Orleans Saints! After a long history of losing, you are now champions and deserve some “respec” for handling Peyton the way you did and capturing your first ever Super Bowl. Let me say this though, the Saints deserved to win the game, because they won the game….not because they have sucked forever, and not because of hurricane Katrina. Granted, it’s great that this very good thing happened to NO after that terrible hurricane, but they only deserve to win because they went out there and got after Manning and made some plays, not because of anything else. I don’t give a shit about curses, or goats, or being flat out god-awful for years….no one teams deserves anything over any other team. You deserve what you get. If you win, then it’s winning, however if you lose, YOU DESERVE IT!
After a long history of not being very sober on Super Bowl Sunday, I concentrated on eating and was able to recount most of the game. From what I gathered, the Saints won on a few fronts, but their main weapon was the big play. The onsides kick at halftime was brilliant – not only because it was the first ever onsides kick attempted with more than 2:00 minutes remaining in the Super Bowl, not only because it was Thomas Morstead’s (their punter) first ever attempted onsides kick, not only because it was one of the most ballsy play calls in a big game (Sean Payton, ex-Giants coach) but the way it was attempted, like a cross over in basketball Morstead ran one way, and kicked the other. Oh, and way to go Hank Baskett for making one of the worst plays of all-time on the biggest stage in NFL football. At least he gets to cry on Kendra’s shoulder, although honestly, her laugh drives me insane, however it appears Hank can look past this flaw. The other big play was Porter’s interception return for a TD. The Saints made plays on defense all year, and this time they didn’t need to knock Manning down or pressure him into oblivion, they simply jumped a route and capitalized on what would be the nail in the coffin.
Speaking of Manning, apparently he didn’t stick around to shake hands with Drew Brees and the rest of the Saints as time expired on the field. Great Peyton, how very LeBron-like of you, way to not give credit where credit is due. Here is an article I completely disagree with: http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/blog/shutdown_corner/post/Peyton-Manning-storms-off-Super-Bowl-field-Is-h?urn=nfl,218314
It basically states how Manning and LeBron weren’t bad sports at all for not shaking hands after the loss, and this jackass talks about “should he of laughed off the loss on the sideline, hugged it out at the end or had drinks with them to congratulate them?” No you fucking idiot, he doesn’t need to do that shit, but he SHOULD of shook hands. That’s it, end of story. Peyton doesn’t have to run around to each Saint and perform filatio, a simple handshake will suffice, however it’s about RESPEC, the Saints won, THEY BEAT YOU, AT LEAST ACKNOWLEDGE IT! Look, we’ve all been there before, I mean I’ve not shook hands after a fucking pick-up basketball game, letting my ego get the best of me, but in respect for the game, in respect for the other team that wins, it’s the right thing to do. I mean if this doesn’t prove Eli is the better quarterback, I don’t know what will……NOT A CHANCE! But at least on this day, Eli was the better brother. And that’s what it’s all about, being the better brother.
