Why is everyone equating the team with the city's liberal politics?

The Saints have nothing to do with the fact that NOLA is a corrupt Dem sewer.

You probably have a shot. Minn will be struggling with a new QB, Chicago will be a non-factor, GB will play hard but fall just short again. Could be Detroit’s year in their division.

I've been watching pro football for over 30 years and this is the first time that the 2 teams I've rooted for most have ended up in the Super Bowl. Now I don't know who to root for.

Look at it this way: Nagin, Landrieu, and William "I always store cash in my freezer" Jefferson. Does that help?

My whole family was having a blast watching this great game. The the refs determined the winner with back-to-back bad calls. What a waste of a good game.

Neither of the teams I wanted to see win succeeded today, but both of the teams I thought would win did.

I think it will be an excellent Superbowl. I just want to see a hard fought well played close game.

Peyton Manning must like the outcome. He’d much rather face Brees than Favre.

Oh please, like the Vikes and Favre didn’t get any calls? That roughing the passer call that Favre got was bogus.

And besides, NOTHING will top watching the Giants B-Slap the Patriots.

Hearing stories about those magnanimous and humble Patriots inviting Giants players to their victory parties before the game was played made it all that much sweeter.

Because they are sore losers. If anything, the Vikes got most of the calls tonight.

The first one, the spear with the helmet? That Saint is lucky he’s still allowed to play in the league. I’d have suspended him on the spot.

Probably because we are tired of a dysfunctional, violent, corrupt, welfare parasite of a city using a free market success football team as cover for their socialist failure

Great game though ... I thought that pass interference call just prior to overtime was wrong ... the ball was way over the receiver’s head, no chance at all to catch it ...

No, I thought the first one was legit, that was a bad hit. I’m talking about the one by #69, just prior to Favre injuring his leg.

Yeah. One hopes. This whole season he's been riding on nothing but his rep anyway. His stats are in the toilet after all. It's not as if he can actually play the game. A third rate college QB can do better. For the life if me I can't understand why the Vikings condescended to let him play. /sarc.

No one has to like him, but it is intentionally ignorant to for anyone to think the guy NEEDS to leave the game.

Vikings gave it away. Cannot have that many fumbles and picks in that league and expect to win the game. Surprised it even went to OT.

That being said, I am no saints fan, or new orelans fan in general.
