Poor Brett Favre

Well the story book ending didn't end the way it was meant to. But it sounds like a lot of you insensitive fans are glad you won't be seeing Favre Thoughts anymore. To be honest I'm okay with the Saints winning and representing the NFC in the Super Bowl, but for the Vikings to lose the way they did just kills me. Imagine if your team lost the way the Vikings did, I don't think I could trust my team again. Kind of like getting your high school or college crush and just when you thought life couldn't get any better you get dumped.

Now it's the Colts and Saints in the Super Bowl. I always thought I'd be rooting for the NFC team, but now that we're here I'm not so sure. I mean, it's easy to root against the Colts and Manning. They were terrible for so long, they have awful blue uniforms, they play in a dome, and their fan base is comprised of Indianans who don't like basketball. But I have so much respect for Peyton Manning, surely because he plays the Titans twice a year and usually wins. But also because he's been in the shadow of Tom Brady at times and is typically out shined. We don't hear about his girlfriends, cologne, his own logo, illegitimate children, etc. So should the general public appreciate Manning over Brady?

Anyway, I'll have to decide who I'm pulling for closer to the game. It always fun seeing Manning lose a meaningful game much less the Super Bowl, but I'd really like him to catch Brady in Super Bowls. On the other side you have the humble New Orleans Saints who I feel were lucky to beat fate and the Minnesota Vikings. I think their offense is better than the Colts and oddly enough it may be the Colts trying to keep the ball away from Drew Brees with long drives. If the Saints defense shows any weakness Manning will exploit it, they just need to do their best to not fall behind.
