SAINTS WIN THE SUPERBOWL!

(And by the amount I predicted as well, I might add)

As my wife says… WHO DAT BITCHES?!?!?!?!?!

That’s right, it’s official. I am watching SportsCenter and as I predicted over on the Yellow Blog, Chris Berman picked the Indianapolis Colts to win the Superbowl! That is better news for the Saints than Dwight Freeney injuring himself! (Actually, I want Freeney healthy because I know the Saints can handle him and I don’t want the Colts fans to make any excuses when they lose). When Chris Berman picks against us in big games, we win.

Now, that is not the only reason I believe the Saints will win the Superbowl. One of the actual reasons that they will win is for the same reason that Manning won the MVP. Manning has less weapons on his team so he plays a larger part in the success of the Colts. Brees, on the other hand, has many weapons to throw to. This is one of the reasons why the Madden simulation picked the Saints to win. However, I have been making this argument since the Saints won the NFC Championship.

Let’s look at the other numbers. During the regular season, Brees had the highest passer rating. Brees had less INT than Manning. The Saints had the #1 overall offense in the league.

Meanwhile, the Colts had the least total rushing yards in the league, was ranked 31st on yards per carry, and was 16th in rushing TD. This makes them one dimensional. And while Manning is a great dimension to have, it allows the Saints to apply pressure to force Manning to throw early OR to drop back in coverage and double team their good receivers.

Greg Williams is adept at hiding his blitzes. This makes it harder for Manning to audible at the line, one of his strengths. When Reggie Bush is on the field and goes in motion, he can make the defense reveal if they are in a zone defense. This gives Brees a huge advantage.

People question the Saints only beating the Vikings by three even though they got 5 turnovers, forcing 4 of them. Well, you have to remember that the Vikings had the 6th best defense in the league. The Colts were ranked 18th. And while the Saints were ranked even lower on defense in the regular season, people seem to forget that early in the year, the healthy Saints defense was ranked in the top 10. The Saints are currently healthy and have played tremendously this postseason.

People are also saying a lot about Greg Williams and his comments about how they will go after Manning. Well, the job of the defense is to go after the guy with the ball and tackle him. So obviously the first guy with the ball after the snap is the QB (usually). Will Greg Williams tell his players to hit Manning in such a way that causes a penalty and extends drives for the Colts? OF COURSE NOT! However, this is football and you may get hit. If you don’t like it, perhaps you should watch ballet.

To get to the Superbowl, the Saints had to beat 2 QB with 30 years of combined experience and 2 Superbowl rings. The Colts had to beat 2 QB with 3 years of combined experience.

At the end of the day, the Saints just have the overall better numbers. And when it comes to the big games, our players step up even more. We beat Eli Manning, Tom Brady (embarrassingly so), Kurt Warner and Brett Favre. I think there is room for one more QB on the shelf.

Saints win by at least 2 TD.  WHO DAT?!?!?!?!??!?!!?

I said that President Obama should step up and denounce the proposed legislation in Uganda. What better place to do it than at the prayer breakfast that is organized by “The Family” (the group with ties to those sponsoring the legislation in the first place.

The ad can be viewed here. It is really good (and it is good to see that they went in a similar direction as I suggested, not that they got the idea from me)

Obama said: “You don’t blow a bunch of cash on Vegas when you’re trying to save for college”.

Because of that comment, the Mayor of Las Vegas said that Obama will no longer be welcomed in the City of Las Vegas.

So let me get this straight. The Mayor of Las Vegas WANTS people to blow their college savings in Las Vegas? Yeah, there is a real winner right there.

Vegas does a really good marketing job selling itself as a place to go to have a lot of fun and spend a lot of money. Because of that, it is likely going to be one of the first cities people think of when they think of a vacation spot. The fact that Obama has used Vegas multiple times only goes to show that the Las Vegas marketing plan worked.

That is, unless he does talk.

So let me get this straight. The circuit that is seen by most conservatives as being the most liberal in the US judicial system today ruled that a sentence against a convicted terrorist was too lenient AND the guy who conservatives claimed wouldn’t talk because he was able to lawyer up (instead of getting water-boarded) actually talked.

All this follows the televised GOP luncheon where Obama completely owned the entire Republican Party.

Yeah, not a good day to be a conservative. Fail. Fail. Fail.

The ultra liberal socialist left wing marxist 9th circuit court of appeals (if you believed Rush Limbaugh and other conservative pundits) rejected the sentence of Ahmed Ressam today.

Why?

It was too lenient.

Ressam, a member of Al Qaeda, has been held in a US “supermax” prison since his conviction. So much for the conservative idea that foreign terrorists cannot be put on trial and put in prison on U.S. soil. Seems to have worked well in this case (and others).

Republicans often use that comment to back up their argument of why the healthcare legislation was so bad (well at least according to them). They try and promote the false belief that the Democrats (or more appropriately those who caucus with the Democrats) will all fall in line and vote the same way. This is probably because they fall in line like that, so why wouldn’t the Democrats.

If only someone had predicted what might happen if the Democrats got 60 votes to caucus with them. Oh wait, someone did! (All the way back in March 2008).

The post only deals with Lieberman and how he cannot be counted on voting to support all Democratic measures as the party would like him to. And as it turns out, we did have Joe Lieberman say that he would not support any bill containing a public option.

So whenever a Republican tells you that the healthcare bill must have been bad because not even all the Democrats voted for it, you remind them of that post and why such ideas are silly.

I mean they use the fleur de lis too!

Just sayin…

That’s right NFL, I said it! WHO DAT!?!?!?!?!?

Well, I have the path to victory that New Orleans can take to win the big game:

Wisdom
Humility
Offense
Defense
Aggressiveness
Teamwork
