Shorttynaz Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 As a shocked Colts fan, I'm happy that the Saints finally got their due. The Colts were outplayed and outcoached. Glad to see the championship go to a classy organization. Spoken like a TRUE Colts fan - there's always next season!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shorttynaz Posted February 8, 2010 Author Share Posted February 8, 2010 I must say as I felt how good winning feels (Colts SB in 2007), losing hurts more than winning feels good. Regardless, I couldn't be happier for the Saints, their fans, and the city. Well overdue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cdrudge Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 I must say as I felt how good winning feels (Colts SB in 2007), losing hurts more than winning feels good. Nah. Winning always feels much better then what losing hurts. Regardless, I couldn't be happier for the Saints, their fans, and the city. Well overdue. +1. It's long overdue and if we had to lose to a team, I'm glad it was to the Saints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainHook Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Congratualations Saints and their fans. The Colts were outplayed from the start of the second quarter on. I cannot believe we went conservative at the end of the half. Defense had no answer in the second half. And Peyton made a terrible read that cost us overtime. Saints fans: Enjoy this! I remember the feeling from 3 years ago. Have fun. Be safe. Congratulations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chief Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Congrats Saints, well done, gutsy calls by Peyton that payed off. 1st quarter had me worried. Brees is a outstanding qb and person. Sincerely hope someday I get to know this feeling as Lions fan, we can all dream right? Very happy for your team and city. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember about 4-5 years ago the Saints were practicing on parking lots and had a locker room in a high school. Anything's possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chief Dick Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 I can say this pretty honestly: I was barely alive when the Chiefs won their Super Bowl. I was 16 when the Royals won their World Series. And I am truly happy that the Saints won today. It's not a euphoria that rajn' et al are feeling, but just a sense of subdued joy. It comes from a place that maybe I didn't know existed, that a person can somehow integrate himself into a culture that would accept me if they knew I was there. Seems to me that New Orleans is a town that just typifies the old-time phrase "Melting Pot"; that people can just BE with each other and live with each other and love each other. And this win in the Super Bowl reminds us that despite all the outposts from which we all come from, that the idea of sport and victory brings us all together, if only for a blip on the radar of history.

Sincerely hope someday I get to know this feeling as Lions fan, we can all dream right? Very happy for your team and city. Look at it this way... In the last 10 years we've seen historically crappy franchises like the Rams, Buccaneers, Patriots (before the 2000s they were largely terrible), Cardinals (well, they almost won last year anyway), and now the Saints get to the Super Bowl. If teams like these can make it, there's always hope that the Lions can get there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azazello1313 Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 possibly the worst cliche in sports is that such and such team "wanted it more". but that's the best way I can think of to describe the super bowl this year. the saints -- their players, their coaches, their fans -- just wanted it more.

kpholmes Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 (edited) The Lions are headed in the right direction. Remember about 4-5 years ago the Saints were practicing on parking lots and had a locker room in a high school. Anything's possible. The Saints were 3-13 in 2005. That off season they drafted Reggie Bush 2nd overall (Lions draft second this year), brought in Sean Payton as head coach, signed Drew Brees off his injury, and snagged Colston late in the draft. The Saints were 10-6 in 2006. While most franchises don't have that dramatic of a turnover in one season as far as records and personnel go, there is no doubt in my mind the Lions are in the right direction. Matt Stafford showed everyone in that Cleveland game he can get it done.Get a Sedrick Ellis and a John Vilma on defense, a little bit of experience and maturity on offense, and who knows what could happen. One thing is for sure in my mind, the Lions are definitely not the worst team in the NFL anymore. ...and on a side note, Congrats to Saints fans! Been a long journey since 2005, and you guys deserved tonight! Edited February 8, 2010 by kpholmes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czarina Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Great game! There was a great deal of screaming here when the Saints got that pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McBoog Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 I was very happy to cheer for the Saints today. I like Brees and have always rooted for the underdog. As a fan of a perennial basement team, it gives a glimmer of hope that I too will experience that euphoria and excitement someday. Congratulations Saints fans. It has been a long time coming and it is well deserved. Enjoy it! I imagine next season will get here way too quickly and then being "last year's champion" is just a memory as the grind of another football season lays ahead. WHO DAT?

I've never seen a city and region bond with a team like this. Green Bay comes close. _____ Detroit drafted Stafford, Pettigrew, Delmas and Levy. It's a nice start.
