SUPER BOWL THOUGHTS

Most things have to come to an end.... football season is over and it ended in an upset! I am sad that football is over but it was a great season. I was really happy with who ended up in the Super Bowl. I have no idea when the last time the two number 1 seeds made it to the Show. Last year I became a little bit of a Saints fan because I drafted Drew Brees as my fantasy QB. This year I had Peyton Manning and he was amazing every week and in my eyes the best QB in the league this year. Both of which I admire and respect, not only because of their passion and leadership on the field but they seem to be really nice guys and have a love for life outside of football. The two of them have been inspirations to so many people and on and off the field.

I have players that I like on both teams so I wasn't really cheering for one or the other. I just wanted to see a really good game. Besides Peyton, I have been following the Colts rookie receiver Austin Collie representing BYU. He had an amazing rookie campaign and contributed throughout the season to help Indy to the Super Bowl. I am also a USC fan and love to watch Reggie Bush. He obviously hasn't been as dominate in the NFL as he was in college but he is still a very explosive and talented player. He showed glimpses of being an outstanding player in the NFL during the playoffs. He just needs to learn how to run between the tackles.

I was pretty satisfied with the performances of the Super Bowl. There were tons of side stories with the Colts and the Saints. Rookie head coach for the Colts, Saints first time to the Super Bowl, Colts were there 3 years ago and knew the routine, with 20+ players that were still on the team since their last Super Bowl win.... everything pointing to Indianapolis taking the Lombardi Trophy. A lot of people counted New Orleans out making them the "under dogs." Balanced on both sides of the ball, being able to ground and pound with Thomas, made their powerful passing attack even more dangerous. The Saints didn't have a lot of big plays but they just dominated the Colts after the first quarter, out scoring them 31 to 7. WOW!!! That's crazy. CONGRATS SAINTS..SUPER BOWL CHAMPS 2010. " WHO DAT"
