Times Picayune—The New Orleans Saints win the Super Bowl

Posted by Kendall Harmon

Saints quarterback Drew Brees was 32-of-39 for 288 yards and two touchdowns.

But it was the big 75-yard interception return for a touchdown by cornerback Tracy Porter that sealed the deal.

"I studied and knew their tendencies," Porter said. "I just jumped around and the ball went right into my hands."

Porter's teammate Darren Sharper, who was on the Green Bay Packers as a rookie when they lost to Denver, said this was a game that nobody had faith in the team except for the team.

"Man this is unbelievable," Sharper said. "I don't know of anyone who gave us a chance, but when you get here, anyone can win."

How great for the city and the team. Read it all.

And, of course, Obama was right there to give the ‘kiss of death’ to the Colts by picking them to win. The pattern continues.

This was one of our better super bowl parties with the guests remaining engaged until the end. Of course it is also about this time of year that I make my annual vow to eat less and exercise more.

I wish everyone could have heard my neighborhood erupt last night… fireworks, car horns, train horns, shooting heard from inside ppls living rooms and down the street.  Mardi Gras is going to be crazy.  Happy Saints Day!

The Gorillas in the Fort Worth zoo have an unbroken record of picking winners in the Super Bowl.  They picked NOLA last week; I knew it was a cinch at that poing.
