WHO DAT? SAINTS WIN SUPER BOWL

At Miami:

Drew Brees, the game's Most Valuable Player, threw for 288 yards and two touchdowns (16 yards to Pierre Thomas in the third quarter and 2 yards to tight end Jeremy Shockey in the fourth), Garrett Hartley kicked a Super Bowl-record three field goals of forty or more yards (46 and 44 yards in the second quarter and 47 yards in the third), and Tracy Porter intercepted a Peyton Manning pass and returned it 74 yards for the final touchdown with 3:12 remaining in regulation time as the New Orleans Saints won the first Super Bowl championship in their 43-year history, defeating the Indianapolis Colts 31-17 on Sunday night.

Halftime: Colts, 10-6

Payton Manning threw a touchdown pass to Pierre Garcon and Matt Stover added a field goal, all in the first quarter to Indianapolis up 10-0, but New Orleans, with two Garrett Hartley second-quarter field goals, closed to gap to 10-6, which is where the Super Bowl stood at the intermission. The Saints, in the second quarter, tried twice to score a touchdown from a yard out but failed late in the second quarter.

Happy Super Bowl Sunday

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, this is America's biggest unofficial holiday. Hope y'all have fun watching the ball game whether you are a Colts or Saints fan.
