Well it's all said and done, over with for another year. The Super Bowl has come and gone and we have a new NFL champion. The New Orleans Saints claimed their first championship in franchise history as I'm sure pretty much all of you know. After 42 years of existence they finally have what every team desires, a Super Bowl win. Not only did they finally win the big game, they won it on their first try. They showed last night that the Saints won 3 post season games this season: two leading up to the Super Bowl and then the Super Bowl itself. In thier previous 41 seasons they had managed to win exactly 2 post season games. Pretty remakable stuff if you're a Saints fan. After dealing with years of futility and frustration, it finally all came together. There are now only 4 teams left in the NFL that have not made it to the Super Bowl: The Lions, Browns, Jaguars and Texans. Maybe one of these days it will happen. Last nights Super Bowl game was the most watched TV program EVER with an estimated 106.5 million viewers, just edging out the MASH finale that had 105.97 million viewers. That's another pretty big deal.
Congratulations to Saint fans, both for the win and for thier endurance and patience. Congratulations to the city of New Orleans; it has been four years since Katrina swept through and caused you so much damage and heartache, I hope this win will continue to unify you as a city and help you to reclaim you sense of who you are. Congratulations Louisiana, you finally have something to brag about other than your purchase by Thomas Jefferson from France. All in all it was a great game, a great night and good for the NFL. Peace and Love y'all.
