Len Dawson is getting suffocated!

 

[IDrinkyourMilkshake]

Len Dawson looks scared

 

[Doctor Detroit]

can't wait for Undercover boss to start. That will round out a perfect ####### day.

 

[John Bender]

Nice job Saints and congrats Saints fans. Always seemed like a classy bunch.

 

[QuizGuy66]

Whoa James Carville sighting

 

[Gachi]

lol last two Super Bowls have kinda been decided upon by a pic six.

 

[Debbie Downer]

I heard Obama wanted to come up through the bottom of the platform with a crown on his head at halftime...

NFL said no.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

I went to a Saints and Falcons game in Atlanta some years ago and that was the best tailgaiting I ever did. All the saints fans were hilarious, welcoming, and ready to have drinks and good eats.

 

[Debbie Downer]

KISS HIM!!!!

 

[ConstruxBoy]

Congrats to the Saints and all their fans! Well deserved and a great game!

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Mardi Gras is going to start a little early this year.

 

[Andrew74]

Congrats to the Saints!

The Manning haters should quit pissing in the thread.

 

[Routilla]

Mardi Gras is going to start a little early this year.

It will probably end a little late as well. Congrats to the city of New Orleans. You deserve it.

had one ... decided ...

 

[bryhamm]

New Orleans Saints. Super Bowl Champions. Doesn't seem right.

Easily the worst Superbowl winner yet. Shouldn't have made it past Minny.

I wouldn't say THAT. Steelers over Seahawks? Steelers over Cardinals? Wild Card Raiders?

You got that straight! Congrats to the Saints, and to the Colts, good run - maybe next year Polian will let you go for the whole simolian.Two great teams, one had to win, one had to lose.

 

[Mister CIA]

Gotta give Manning lots of credit here. Took a team that wasn't even that good, with a rookie HC to the big game and almost pulled it out. Elway like performance there. Give Brees the Colts this year and they don't even make the playoffs.

How many wins is Brees going to have with Pierre Garcon and Austin Collie as his receivers while the #1 RB averages 3.8 YPC. He'd be lucky to get to nine wins in the AFC with that team.

If only he had a 7th round pick as his leading WR and an undrafted player as his #1 RB.

 

[bryhamm]

Wayne's drop pretty much sums this team up IMO. Soft. Guy was afraid to take the hit. He was turning away from it before he even had the ball.........

Little late in the thread for a fishing trip. Everyone is leaving now.

 

[bryhamm]

Congrats Saints fans.

 

[dickey moe]

I would pay good money to be on Bourbon Street tonight.

My brother in law is there tonight. He's been a Saints fan all his life. He's been drunk texting us since 3PM. This might be the night he gets laid.

 

[Pantherz]

Very nicely done Saints! This just seemed like the way this season should end. Great story line and very happy for Drew Brees! Guy has been nothing but classy and keeps overachieving. Apparently he really is that good.

Nice to conveniently omit 1st round picks/pro bowl players Reggie Wayne and Dallas Clark.

 

[Routilla]

It looks like the balance of power has shifted back to the NFC for this year at least. Looking forward to next year already.

 

[IDrinkyourMilkshake]

Team wearing white has won six straight super bowl games.

 

[wazoo11]

We're due for a bad super bowl next year.Last three years have been entertaining to watch.

33 years is a hell of a virgin run...

 

[Doug B]

Was like New Year's Eve out here in the burbs. People around here are still shooting off fireworks.

...

I knew the Saints would need a pick-6 in this game.

 

[Cajun Heat]

I'm a 35 year old Saints fan, been watching this team since I was about 7. I honestly, truly never thought this day would come. It's beautiful. WHO DAT!!!!!!

 

[gianmarco]

So fitting that the INT for a TD return seals it at the close of the game. Despite owning the #1 offense in the NFL this year, it's the defense that turned this team from a good team to a championship team. They've done it all year long when it mattered and they did it again. Some will call it luck. Others will know better.

WHO DAT!!!

 

[bryhamm]

very impressive to hold the Colts to only 17 points

 

[Stillers Jr.]

CONGRATS SAINTS FANS!!!!

Do not let anyone (a-holes) rain on your parade by trying to diminish this.

You won the game and played great!! KUDOS!!!!

 

[Ghost Rider]

I know this is easy to say now, but this Colts team never struck me as one of the best of all-time, so them losing means we won't have to listen to any of that "they could have been 19-0 and been the best team ever" nonsense, and for that I am grateful.

 

[BobbyLayne]

Big time congrats to the Saints and all their fans.

In September they came out like the '07 Pats, just blowing everyone away. Few minor hiccups along the way, but finished strong. They deserved to be champs this year - for outplaying the Colts, but also for being the story for most of the season.

Been a long time coming for NOLA. Must feel great, and I'm happy for everyone down there.

 

[Mr.Pack]

Congrats Saints fans. Great game. Truly the better team, no question about it.

Live it up!

Does this put Brady back in the mix for best ever? Additional by subtraction?

I was joking, but since they both have the 1 L in the big game column now, doesn't that even things up some?

It's been one hell of a season. Congrats Saints. They are the Aints no more.

It's really not even close. Manning will always be painted as one of the Greatest Regular Season QBs. While Brady will be discussed in the same breath as Montana, Elway and Grogan.

Well not really considering Tom has 2 more rings.

 

[Judge Smails]

Great story for the city of NO and the state of LA. Brees and Payton are now Gods in the Big Easy. Well deserved - congrats Saints fans.

Well Bradshaw has 4 rings and Aikman 3 rings. I guess they should be in the discussion too if rings are a qualifier.

 

[Neil Beaufort Zod]

Congrats to Saints fans. You have a lot to be proud of tonight. Fantastic effort.

 

[Neil Beaufort Zod]

Prediction: We're going to OT brahs!!!

I don't know, the game sure has been up and down...I could see a Manning interception here and the game turns on a dime. NO has the lead with about 5 minutes left...not many people had NO ahead 24-17 at this stage of the game, most thought they would fade...they didn't.

Didn't check the entire thread, but you deserve credit for this.

Agreed.....however Brady has 3 as well. The big difference being Bradshaw and Aikman both played in an uncapped era. The Cowboys bought Super Bowls and the Steelers won theirs hopped up on steroids and amphetamines.

Congrats Saints fans. The better team won tonight. Great story and classy team to boot.

Fantastic sir. You better fear the neckroll.
