Cheering For Colts, Saints

Cheering For Colts, Saints

Just a diversion into football for the moment.

AFC: Time for Peyton Manning to have his turn. Remember, they're not saying "boo," they're saying "mooooovers." A Patriots win, however, would be sweet revenge against NFL parity: a dynasty of four Super Bowl wins in six years would match the `70's Steelers.

NFC: Do you even need to ask? The Saints are by definition one of my two favorite teams (the Packers and whoever's playing the Bears). Plus New Orleans needs something to celebrate more than anyone, and they'd throw a nice early Mardi Gras for a world championship.

So Colts and Saints, with Archie Manning choosing his kid over his old jersey. Though Patriots and Saints has a weird Religious Reich ring to it, and Colts-Bears is zoologically symmetrical.
