Are you ready for some football!!

[combatlizzy]

Well, I won my big bet on Colts but lost my small one on Vikes...should have known not to bet with Mr. Farve! Isn't he the dude who can't make up his mind--->do I wanna play or not?

[Li Wildtimbers]

that be the very one Miss Lizzy

[Sven Osymthe]

Hes also the one that threw an interception on his last pass with every team hes started on...

Like Lizzy, I won on the Colts, but lost on the Vikes.

I really wanted to see the Vikes and Jets in the big game though. The guy who invented football against the rookie on the team Favre left would've been fun!

WHO DAT!

Sorry Bug (still love ya).

Awesome game! That was a knock-down drag-out head-butt of a game - the best Conference Championship game in at least 10 years.

Just so the rest of you know what it has been like to be a Saints fan....after 43 years of snatching Defeat from the jaws of victory; we finally get to the Super Bowl and are given the Ugliest Conference Championships hats ever made.

I knew my Vikings were not going to win. I honestly wasn't expecting the game so close or to go to overtime. Our Defensive front were not at a 100%, The Williams Wall and Edwards were playing with injuries. I am not making excuses we were beaten by the best Team in the NFC.

We had a lot of turnovers. No team can win like that. I was expecting the Saints Offense to capitalize on all of those turnovers.

My dear friend Lizzy, your bragging rights and smack talk ended when your Steelers didn't make the playoffs. However you have to admit that Old Man Favre is one though player. He got late hits left and right and got back up and gave one big game. Say what you want, but that man has a lot of heart and guts.

The best teams of the season are going to the Super Bowl. They both deserve it. I am glad that the best teams will face each other. It would have been nice if both had their undefeated record going into the game.

This weeks bets have been settled. Place your bets on the BIG game!! Naturally there will be betting for the winner, but there's a few other bets open as well.

Good luck!

I watched the Saints Vikings game again today and I think more than anything else; they lost because of bad Karma put out by the song Prince did.

You can find it on the TUBE keyword: Prince Vikings. It is the one with the two people in the White jerseys - warning - it is really a whimpy song.

If you are going to do a really bad song, at least do it in jest as PooPoo Broussard did. Just search for: poopoo pants on the ground.

Lastly, my girls have been watching this one all afternoon - keywords: Party in The USA MIA Saints Remix - it is the one with players in white jerseys. That one is actually fairly well done with pictures and words that fit the song.

Hey all, I will be rooting for the Saints on SB Sunday! They deserve to win!!! No hard feelings here
Both teams gave us a great exciting game to watch ... gotta love it.

[Captain Del]

I'm still trying to drown my sorrows over the loss of the Jets to the Colts... - cries -

I'm depending on the Saints to redeem Gang Green! Saints over Colts!

Only 78 or so more hours till Kick Off - Yay.

Every year I grow tired of all the "Team Stats" that are in papers, TV and online. What I like are the "people" stories of the players on either team.

Believe it or not, there are 9 players between the Saints and Colts who are from Louisiana. This newspaper story details the connection and strange travel paths that a few of the players took to get to their teams and the Super Bowl. If you are prompted for a Zip Code, enter 70501 as that is the one the newspaper is located in.

The above article mentions 8 players between the two teams. There is actually a 9th player. Colts TE Tom Santi (on Injured Reserve). You Word Jumble fans will notice if you rearrange the letters in his last name - they spell Saint. What you and the newpaper article writer may not know is that Santi was born in New Orleans.

You may also be facinated to know that as the Saints try to win the Lombardi Trophy, they do so with the help of Quarterbacks Coach Joe Lombardi - Grandson of Vince.

......77 hours and 50 minutes to go!
