The super bowl came and went... Colts lost... Saints won. I'm not that upset, but a lot of people around here certainly are.
Few things about the whole things from my little experience.
One, I'm sort of happy the Saints won partially for the whole good for New Orleans part. But I'm more glad the Saints won because if the Colts would have won, I'd get a lot of crap for being from Indy next time I'm down in New Orleans. After seeing LSU fans rail against Notre Dame fans a few years ago, they are pretty brutal to their face.
Another thing is the Purdue and Drew Brees thing. I was at Purdue during Brees' tenure as starting QB, and he was pretty darn good. He would have won a few key games if it weren't for a crappy placekicker. But I have a lot of Purdue friends and relatives who are absolutely gaga over him now that he's won a super bowl. I've rooted for him over a lot of other QB's, but this whole new level of exultation is just a little much for me right now. Why? Because I met the guy on a few occasions, and I only have a respect for him as a football player. He may have improved since then, but he was not even remotely considerate back then.
