The Saints Rode the Colts

Super Bowl XLIV is finished; all that is left is the mopping up operation and hangovers. You are most probably doing some of it right now. You can either celebrate with the New York Giants on the Wild Card against the undefeated, until Sunday, New England Patriots or you will be cursing out Bill Belichick and Tom Brady for dropping a perfect season and probably beginning a new curse in New England sports.

A composed and classy Drew Brees projected a look of a Champion on Super Bowl Monday after an upset win by the New Orleans Saints against Indianapolis Colts.

Sean Payton, with out using his visor sported a happy and dazed look. He sported a necklace of single strand made of gold beads, and wore a crumpled shirt with blue jeans. He had a cup of coffee in his hand going into the news conference for only a short time holding the Vince Lombardi Trophy.

He said that the trophy was in his bed last night that prompted media laughter. Payton said he rolled over the trophy several times and said there is nothing compared to it.

Payton said, sometime almost midnight after the Saints’ won 31-17, family members of the Lombardi and Joe Lombardi the quarterback coach of the Saints and his father, Vince Jr. posed with the trophy that is named after the Hall of Fame coaching legend.

This is the second Super Bowl victory of Payton, his first is being the head coach. He worked as offensive coordinator in the New York Giants NFC champions last 2000, but they lost 34-7 to the Baltimore Ravens during Super Bowl XXXV.

Payton said that to be part of a team by being a coach and with Drew Brees as part of the players, he is much honored. He does not take opportunities lightly every time. He felt so fortunate, blessed and also humbled by the situation.

Talking about franchise, the New England Patriots has won back-to-back Super Bowls since the start of the new millennium.

Since starting Feb. 28, 1983, the last episode of CBS’ M*A*S*H, that averaged around 106 million viewers as most-watched show in U.S. TV’s. Last Sunday’s, Super Bowl XLIV New Orleans Saints’ victory on CBS set a new record of 106.5 million.

Everything is green and go for this season’s NFL ratings, even the Washington, D.C., blizzard where the Super Bowl pulled a high rating of 56% than in Indianapolis of only 54.2%.

Other factors that affected this seasons rating included the return of Brett Favre, as Minnesota Vikings ratings leaped and the Indianapolis Colts and Saints being undefeated until later part of the season and the NFL’s top-drawing team, Dallas Cowboys won their first playoff victory in 13 seasons.
