OT: Super Bowl Predictions

PrintAlright McCoven, what are your Super Bowl predictions? It's that simple, just wanna see what you think the out come will be? I personally think its going to be a very high scoring game, and the Saints will end up pulling it out in the end of a shoot out. Also, with Freeney out for the Colts, this will make a huge difference in the game and give the Saints the upper edge.
My prediction:
Saints 41
Colts 38

The Manning household is torn, in a humorous way.

Where can a homebody find coverage online?

Some years ago the saints threatened to have a winning season after a lifetime of futility. Someone – I dunno, maybe this woman who is at war with the NFL right now – printed up a bunch of shirts featuring that slogan (and a picture of some Saints players?)
It’s basically asking a humorous question about newcomers to success.

I heard somewhere… ESPN radio? NPR? that the phrase “who dat” has roots in (take your pick…) minstrel shows / vaudeville / creole / cajun and historically can be traced to the 1800’s sometime… 1860 sticks in my mind for some reason… but ?
Merope is correct...
“The chant of “Who Dat?” originated in minstrel shows and vaudeville acts of the late 1800s and early 1900s, and was then taken up by jazz and big band performers in the 1920s and 30s."
“The first reference to “Who Dat?” can be found in the 19th Century. A featured song in E.E. Rice’s “Summer Nights” is the song “Who Dat Say Chicken In dis Crowd”, with lyrics by poet Paul Laurence Dunbar. A common tag line in the days of Negro minstrel shows was: “Who dat?” answered by “Who dat say who dat?” Many different blackfaced gags played off that opening. Vaudeville performer Mantan Moreland was known for the routine. Another example is “Swing Wedding,” a 1930s Harman-Ising cartoon musical, which caricatured Fats Waller, Cab Calloway, Bill “Bojangles” Robinson, Ethel Waters, and the Mills Brothers as frogs in a swamp performing minstrel show jokes and jazz tunes. The frogs repeatedly used the phrase “who dat?”"

What’s the difference between the Saints’ “Who Dat” and the Bengals “Who Dey”? Both sound equally… Dumb… But which team stole the idea from the other?

my heart with the Saints too. but I think of their close games recently against teams not as good as the Colts. While the Colts trounced a good Jets team. I am kind of afraid Colts will run away with it. At least then I will not be glued to TV after that gets obvious.
cheering for Adam Witter, who will hit bigleague dingers some day.
Still yelling "Go, Antoan"
I think the Colts’ defense will slow down Brees a bit, although he will have some success. On the other hand I don’t see how the Saints defense can stop Manning at all. He did whatever he wanted against the Jets defense, which was the number one defense in the league.

On a side note, for some reason when I was flying back to LA (from San Jose) everyone on the plane was rooting for the Vikings over the Saints. Anyone know why people from Southern California would be big Vikings fans?

I think the Tebow ad was a deliberate manipulation of the politics of outrage to portray FoTF as a sweet little innocuous organization being beat up on by the scary feminists. It’s a scheme worthy of Pete Campbell.

From the link, I can see where the snippet in the comment came from, and how it is logical (even if I don’t know who Pete Campbell is).
I think this is an excellent example of how easy it is for the meaning in a comment to be lost when 1-2 sentences are used sans intro and context. How difficult it is to compress a compelling mental thought into so short a space (a Mark Twain quote comes to mind (parenthesis-within-a-parenthesis: I googled “Mark Twain quotes letter” to confirm my memory, but apparently it is a Blaise Pascal quote; oh well)).
Nice analysis, btw.
I’m guessing it wasn’t intentional, and that the nature of the ad was simply because Focus On The Family didn’t want it to get axed by the “advocacy” restriction.

From what we can gather the Sharks traded a 2nd round pick for a defender out of Carolina. Played with Murray on the Swiss National Team in the last Olympics. Sharks are kinda depleted on the blue line.
Yea… heard he didn’t stick around for the second period, the dude doesnt care much about us, even after we have his picture on a wall, number retired here, but whatever, we won 13-2 yesterday in hockey
He had to drive back to Cincy to catch a plane to make it to Nashville for the Sharks next game.

Anyone see that awful Steve Winwood performance before the game?

These halftime shows are borefests since the Nipplegate
Maybe because I’m too young to enjoy the music of the yesterdecades but I don’t find any of the halftime shows post 2004 entertaining. Otherwise, a good game overall and I like the jab at the end towards the Dolphins (in their home no less) for being iffy on signing an injured Brees in 2006.
Win the inning.
What's your upcoming local forecast s'posed to be like?

I get the feeling nobody is going to work in New Orleans Monday (schools were already scheduled to close Monday after the Saints won the NFC Championship).
"meh"
FTFY
I get the feeling nobody is going to work in New Orleans Monday between now and Mardi Gras.
I try not to break the rules, but merely to test their elasticity.
Correction
Reading the local New Orleans newspapers, schools will NOT be closed. Most public schools remain open (probably with very few kids in class) and most private schools will be open (a few will close because of the Super Bowl).
"meh"
Peyton continues to choke. Montana = greatest.
That is all.

I beg to differ.
On the final play of their final possession he put the ball into his receiver’s hands.
Well, okay, he put the ball through his receiver’s hands.

I just Shift+A'd this thread, so screw you guys. I also just posted this comment on NinersNation, but I thought I'd x-post it into this thread as well.
Yesterday, while watching the game, I found myself rooting for the Colts. I wasn’t sure why. I like the Saints just as much, and they have a much, much better story. Every part of me should have rationally been rooting for the Saints.
Then I watch the game, and I slowly realize what I’ve actually known all along: The Saints are the better team, and it’s not really that close. Brees is pretty close to being on-par with Manning, but I’d take the Saints personnel at every single other skill position on the offense, and most of the defense. I mean, really: Joseph Addai or Pierre Thomas / Reggie Bush? Colston / Moore / Henderson / Meachem or Wayne / bunch of scrubs? Dallas Clark or Jeremy Shockey? Haydin / Bullit / Bethea / Powers OR Greer / Harper / Sharper / Porter? Wheeler / Bracket / Session OR Fujita / Vilma / Shanle?
I mean, it’s the Saints everywhere. The Saints were the better team. And in a game with two teams that I like, I always root for the better team to win. It’s just… I want to see better teams justify their talent. So why wasn’t I rooting for the Saints?
Then I turned on the radio this morning and I realized it. I was rooting for the Colts because a Saints win meant that I couldn’t talk to anybody or listen to the radio without having to deal with listening to people slobbering like idiots over stupid stuff. I did not enjoy having to listen to a half hour of Murph and Mac fellating Joe Montana this morning because Manning threw a pick. On a play that Wayne came late off his break on (it was still a bad pass, but if Wayne ran a better route he could have at least broken it up).
I mean, I get that people – and 49ers fans – don’t want to talk about anybody other than Montana being the GQBOAT, and I honestly don’t think that Manning is in that conversation yet anyway. But the conversation goes from Manning being great – which he is – to Manning being a scrub so fast and so hard that I can’t take it.
And then all the talk of the Saints is how the underdogs came in, played hard, and scrapped out a win because they WANTED IT MORE. How about because they were the better team? They have better players and better coaches? Because that’s what actually happened.
So in a rational world, I wanted the Saints to win. And I am absolutely overjoyed that the better team won that game, and I’m very happy for New Orleans that they get something to cheer about.
But gosh darnit, I’m mad that now I have to listen to people being more idiotic than usual about football.

I think anytime a footbal great i.e. Manning doesn’t give his best performance people are naturally over emotional. Favre got absolutely picked apart for his last game but after everyone calms down they realize a career is a body of work, not one game. Come next year people will be climbing all over one another to emphatically demand the greatness of Peyton regardless of the pick.

You subconsciously rooted for the Colts because you subconsciously knew that people would slobber over the Saints? I guess I believe that.

I subconsciously knew that people would talk more like idiots if the Saints won than if the Colts won. It only took a few seconds of being in the car this morning to realize that’s what was going on.
I think if the Colts had won, the conversation would be much, much different. Still plenty of idiot talk, but not as much of this crap: “YEAH UNDERDOG WOOO MANNING SUCKS THE COLTS SHOULDA WON BUT THEY LOST BECAUSE THE GRITTY SAINTS WERE GRITTIER AND HAVE MORE HEARTIER PLAY YAH WHOO SCREW THE MAN SHOW US YOUR TITS”

On a similar topic, my dad called me on Friday to rant about a Yahoo article that said Manning would be the all time greatest QB w/ a victory. This coming from a man that hates sports and wouldn’t take his son the the Stick b/c of the weather, and who also wouldn’t allow his son to play on the HS football team b/c it’s a stupid sport and would ruin your knees! ( He suggested basketball instead, I HATE THAT! Since I am 6’5" I am suppose to play Basketball? Every year in HS I got harassed)

The local radio show did a “Who do you want to play quarter back for you today, if you had to win the super bowl” call in question.
The host had
Montana
Rothlesberger
Payton
Brady
Werner
Some fan called up and said that Aikman should be on the list, and some else said Bradshaw. The host shot down both of them b/c the TEAM MADE THEM! THEY DIDN’T MAKE THE TEAM. Know maybe that is true, but isn’t that more true for Werner and Rothlesberegr.

Bradshaw in his prime was actually a really, really good QB. I think the biggest problems with evaluating his career is that his prime wasn’t very long, and he did piggyback on the success of some great teams after his play had already begun to decline.

Same with Aikman, actually. Though I think Aikman’s peak was both lower and more short-lived.

BUT THEY LOST BECAUSE THE GRITTY SAINTS WERE GRITTIER
Or are you just hyper sensitive to “gritty, gamer” type players ? Just kidding. As a Chargers fan, I had no dog in this fight. I believed that Manning would be the difference in the game, and he was. Just the opposite difference.
As you mentioned in your cross post, the Saints staff is better, why didn’t I pick the Saints to win? I picked the Colts because as much as I would have enjoyed a Saints win ( comeback story for both Brees and NO), I thought that Manning’s experience would make a difference. I was writing a post about the Colts comeback record during 2009. At that point they had a sucess ratio of 38% in the fourth quarter when down by a touchdown. Then the interception happened. I was saved only by my slow typing.
People would have talked like idiots no matter who won. It’s just the nature of fans and the MSM. That is one of the reasons I come here. At least there are generally facts to back up the arguments.

Other than the interception Peyton played a good game.

He did. And that’s usually what it comes down to at that level. A miscue can be the difference. It was a great play by Porter, and not a bad pass by Manning.

All that said, now that I’ve discovered what I was doing subconsciously, I’m more happy for the Saints than I was before. They deserved to win, and it’s a truly great story. I just won’t listen to the radio or talk to anybody stupid for a while.
