Super Bowl XLIV: Colts vs. Saints. The Archie Manning Memorial Bowl. There will be three cameras covering Archie Manning during the game.

As I mentioned in the other thread, I'm rooting for the Saints.

I wouldn't mind if the Saints got swine flu. Go Colts. For the record these are my least 2 favorite teams. Ever. Saints more so because I had the misfortune of living in Louisiana. It's a horrible place to visit and now it's underwater.

I'm going for the Colts. If Payton Manning plays at the top of his game they are gonna outscore the Saints and that's all that matter because I don't think it will be a defensive game. However, people always say it won't be a defensive game and the offenses are gonna score tons of points and then the game turns into a 17-14 thing so I don't know

Yay Saints. First half was a little boring, and The Who sucked worse than I thought they would, but the second half was exciting up to the interception. The onside kick to lead off the half surprised the hell out of me, but the subsequent drive completely changed the game. Does 10-6 warrant an onside kick? I don't think so, but that's probably why it worked (and also getting lucky in the scrum).

Also a bonus? Starting the game about an hour later on DVR, letting the non-football fans watch the stupid commercials in the first half, then blasting through the commercials in the second half. Gives the game a little better rhythm. Gets a lot of the yakking out of the way in the first half and halftime, then you can settle into the game for the last two quarters.
