Congrats Saints!

I was rootin' for ya all last night. I never gave up hope, just as you didn't. The Defense was spectacular in the second half.

The seal dealer: Tracy Porter (a Louisanan):





As he is running so fast past everyone, watch the change of hands in carrying the ball; they represented joy and good pride. He ran 78 yards in 11 seconds.

NOLA should be proud, especially after Brownie and Bush almost let it drown.

One of my NOLA buds called it the "Year of the Yat."



To the Colts credit, they were close to getting another touchdown. Just wasn't their night.

After the Pokes, I said even midway this past season, it looked to be the Saints' year. Pokes were lucky to win against the Saints in the latter part of the season, but I knew the Saints would likely win a rematch, the Vikings got to the Pokes first.

Thank goodness the Saints' coaches didn't listen to Phil Simms at 3:24 left in the game. And they took some nice risks. Great game, great job.

Update: this is crap from the media about Peyton Manning. He and the Colts do not deserve any big blame for not wanting to speak out. Peyton Manning was correct: it was the Saints' field last night.

Tom Petty Rocks @ the Super Bowl

The game is close, with NE in the lead, 7-3.

The star in my view is Tom Petty, whose band is playing most of my favorite tunes. He played "American Girl", "Free Falling", "Stand my Ground", and now "Running Down a Dream", albeit all are a bit rushed. Hell of a show.

My brother who is in the audience must be loving this.

I got teary-eyed during "Stand my Ground". I could only think of JRE. I hope JRE's enjoying his time with his family and friends.

Be looking for the Edwards Evening News for Progress tonight at the Daily Kos. I'll update this thread when it goes up.

Meantime, what did you think of the half-time show?

UPDATE: NE still only ahead by a field goal. Game still close, but the NYG are very hungry for another win.

UPDATE 2: NYG ahead.
