Are Your Feet Cold?

I know this is completely meaningless to all our non-US readers, but Hell has frozen over. OK, it's for at least the 3rd time. When Dante went there, the 9th level was already frozen. And in 1980, this girl, who'd told me she'd be mine until Hell froze over, dumped me. But even more improbable that than, the New Orleans Saints won the NFL Superbowl tonight. Given that in their 43 years of existence they've only had a winning record 4 or 5 times, this seems a far more worthy occasion for Satan to take up hockey. So there is joy in Lousy Anna's armpit tonight.

WHO DAT GON BEAT DEM SAINTS? :toast:

The Saints deserve it just for hangin in! Payton Manning was always just one throw away from blowing it and tonight he proved it. Kinda like thinkin your ships are better than your opponents. Wait, did I say that? I mean't my shells are better. yeah, thats it!

Sorry but hell won't truely freeze over until my Minnesota Vikings finally win a Super Bowl. They keep killing me with gut wrenching and heartbreaking losses like 2 weeks ago that keep them from getting getting to and winning the Super Bowl. Vikings truely are the NFL equivalent of the Chicago Cubs. Forever cursed to be good enough to get to and win a Super Bowl but always finding some way and some how to choak it all away.

Until I just looked it up, I was under the impression that Tarkenton had won one back in the 70s. But hey, the Vikes have been there 4 times and are perennial contenders. Not like the "Ain'ts".

I dunno. As a proud Cubs fan, I have to say that the Cubs have had far less success, over a much longer period, than the Vikes. The Saints are closer to the Cubs, except of course for tonight.

The Vikes really should have beat the Saints 2 weeks ago. Even with all the turnovers, the Vikes were in position to win but for back-to-back mistakes of inexplicable nature. They can only go down to the intervention of the Voodoo Gods. I think the Vikes need to tap into some sort of local mojo. Wendigos maybe?

Did anyone else notice that the songs THE WHO played at half time were the 3 theme songs for the CSI TV shows..... I couldn't tell that CBS was hosting the Super Bowl till they did that:crosseye:. Subliminal plug for all of the Jerry Bruckhiemer series maybe? I thought the ratings were still good. At least all you Americans at least got to see the big buck advertisements....us Canucks, we got stuck in CTV hell - Vancouver Olympics ads, over and over and....

I don't watch CSI so I wouldn't know. All I know is, I heard the 1st verse of the 1st song and couldn't stand any more. They should call themselves Who's Left? and the answer would be "not much". I had to leave the room rather than have my pleasant high school memories of their music completely destroyed. Very, very sad to see/hear.

I'm sure that the celebrations on Bourbon Street were reserved & low key, given how New Orleans has never been much of a "party town".

 

[rubberboot]

I do watch CSI.....but I have to agree, it was not the best half time show i've seen. I guess they figured it was safer than having another boob incident - like face it, would u want to see one of those old fossils have a "wardrobe malfunction". Yuck. Talk about mental scaring. Carrie on the other hand.....

Strange to say, I think the best 1/2time show they've ever done was a few years ago with Prince. Back in the day, I utterly detested his music and was expecting tired reprises of his appalling "classic hits" from that era. I was thus pleasantly surprised to discover that since then, he has learned to play the guitar like a madman and writes much better music. I thought that show rocked.

Too bad "the symbol formally known as" Prince is such a weird individual......:nuts:

I never liked Prince's music either, but after watching that halftime show, I was impressed at what a great performer he is.

..... I was pulling for the Saints all the way after the Patriots fell out of the playoffs. I knew that the Saints were the real deal after the big and VERY convincing hurt they put on the Patriots in the regular season. Their win in the Super Bowl was equally convincing and left no argument as to who was the better team that day.

As for the Colts, there is no question that Manning is a tremendous player - a hall of fame QB without question. And I very much like Addai as a running back. And I like the Colts belief in a fast pursuiing defense. But I frankly got very tired of watching the refs repeatedly pull the Colts feet out of second half fires with 30, 40, and 50 yard pass interference calls at crucial moments.
