January 28th, 2010 billgerber

Super Bowl New Orleans Saints Vs. Indianapolis Colts Preview

January 27th, 2010 peterheinn

nfl hotTwo teams that went perfect until a late season collapse. Two teams with a high-powered offense and a mediocre defense. And two teams with the best QBs in the league about to face off in what will be one of the greatest Super Bowl’s of all time.

With the Saints overtime win over the Vikings, the Saints are riding a wave of momentum. Yes, they are lucky that Brett Favre threw an interception on a play which could have easily won them the game. Yes, they weren’t playing their best. But the only thing that matters is that they are in the Super Bowl. (more…)

Saints Super Bowl Run Gives Hope

January 27th, 2010 billgerber

NFC Championship: New Orleans Saints vs. Minnesota VikingsWhen the Oilers moved to Nashville after the 1996 season, I never thought Houston would get another NFL team.

Saints Super Bowl-ing On Coin Toss

January 25th, 2010 billgerber

nflThe New Orleans Saints joined earlier AFC Championship winner Indianapolis in advancing to the Super Bowl, after escaping at home with a 31-28 overtime win over the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday night. They did this, in part, thanks to the flip of a coin.

Just as the game itself began with a coin toss to determine possession of the football, so too did overtime. But unlike regulation, the NFL playoffs have no clock in overtime. Still, the first team to score is the winner, regardless of time or how many possessions each team has. (more…)
