The Super Bowl

Well, the significant male in my life was intrigued by my take on the Super Bowl, and encouraged me to quickly pen my picks for this year before I got in the shower, so here goes. I'll try to keep it short and sweet to finish before the game starts and so I can get going myself.

Keep in mind I had to ask for verification on which teams were actually playing! I knew, but wasn't certain I knew.

It's hard for me to pick this year, because it seems like the Saints should win. They have heaven on their side, after all. They're just very powerful in that regard. Heavenly influence is mighty. They're also from a bigger city. Of course, I thought that city was St. Louis until I just looked it up. I don't know why, because I know that when Hurricane Katrina hit, people were staying in the Saints' stadium, so I knew they were from there. I think I remember having this confusion at that time as well. What team is from St. Louis? Is that the Cardinals? Perhaps that's why the Cardinals were coming into the mental mix when I was trying to recall what teams were playing. But aren't the Cardinals a baseball team? I'm not 100% certain New Orleans is that much bigger than Indianapolis, but it has more historical prestige, I think.

The Colts, though, I feel more like I'd want them to win, partly because it seems like the Saints have the upper hand, and the colts are just young horses from Indianapolis, which I'm sure is a lovely little city but isn't really a real city. It fits the definition but not the real vibe of being a city, and it doesn't have that much panache. Even St. Louis is 3rd tier in cityness. New Orleans may not be huge but it has a lot of panache, which makes it 2nd tier.

I didn't get to go on in my evaluation to him, because at this point I was encouraged to blog about it before the game starts. But I was going to say, though, the Colts beat the NY/NJ team that was in the running. I think it was the Jets, but it may have been the Giants. I can't believe I forget, but shut up, I do. They lost anyway. That's what happens when you lose, people! They give you a ticker-tape parade, but the people who don't follow football forget who you are in a couple of weeks. But I was a little miffed the Colts got that game, so I was debating maybe saying the Saints should take the Super Bowl. The Saints are also from New Orleans, and I love New Orleans. I've never been, but my father lived there for a long time when he was young. I like the sound of the place. And it seems like they deserve it.

But I guess the Colts should win. I hear it will be an opportunity for Peyton Manning to show his snot-nosed younger brother Eli that Peyton's not out of the spotlight yet, and that sounds good. I have been assured that while the Colts may not have another win in them, the Saints have a very good chance of winning next year. Also the whole young horses against heavenly honorees thing.

But hell, you know what? I changed my mind. I think the Saints should win. Just look at the statement there, and does it not sound right? The Saints should win. Looks good. I'm sorry, I know they're young horses and everything, but the Colts have won before, they've had a big strong famous team a lot of the time, and no one can guarantee the Saints will be in the same position next year. They're here now. I think they deserve it.

But the Colts will probably win.


note: I am not stupid. I just don't follow sports very much at all, least of all football.
