Congrats to the Who Dat Nation + New Trivia


courtesy: ESPN.com

Hey guys, Drew back here, I want to congratulate all the Saints fans for an awesome win yesterday, I'm sure if you're in New Orleans that you haven't been inside your house for a day now so the game will be not the 1st thing on your minds when you guys get done partying a few weeks from now! It was a great game, and I enjoyed watching it! Peyton & Brees just went back and forth until Peyton threw that big pick, one of the biggest plays in Saints history, by Tracy Porter. I was very happy to see the Saints win, especially because of Hurricane Katrina a few years ago and the fact that they've never played in a Super Bowl in franchise history.

The bad parts about the Super Bowl were everything outside of the game itself. The commercials sucked and they've gotten worse every year. The only ones that I thought were decent (but still didn't get a laugh out of me) were the one with the sleepwalking guy and the Brett Favre Hyundai commercial. He very well could be the MVP of the 2020 NFL season, if the NFL exists. The Who also looked plain old old out there, and they certainly put me to sleep.

Getting back to the highlights of the night, Grandpa Roy and I just talked on the phone and we have our first trivia question of the new year for you today, relating to the Super Bowl last night, here is your question:

The New Orleans Saints won the Super Bowl last night as you all know in a miraculous fashion. After a long 44 year drought of no Super Bowl appearances, the 'Aints came out and beat the Colts, 31-17. They became the 9th NFL team to win their 1st Super Bowl game they've appeared in. What are the other 8 teams?

1. Green Bay Packers, 1966 Super Bowl Champions
2. New York Jets, 1968 Super Bowl Champions
3. Pittsburgh Steelers, 1974 Super Bowl Champions
4. San Fransisco 49ers, 1981 Super Bowl Champions
5. Chicago Bears, 1985 Super Bowl Champions
6. New York Giants, 1986 Super Bowl Champions
7. Baltimore Ravens, 2000 Super Bowl Champions
8. Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 2002 Super Bowl Champions
9. New Orleans Saints, 2009 Super Bowl Champions

UPDATE: Got them all! Post coming soon! Good job

You guys know the deal, but I'll explain it again for you. Please comment with your guess, only 1 guess per day for each person. Please try your hardest to think of these off the top of your heads, there will be no prize this year, and after a really busy last few months, I'm not sure prizes will be provided to the other 4 people in the Top 5 from last year, which I will need to ask them. Have fun with the question and Good luck!

Super Bowl Sunday- Take Your Pick!

Hey guys, Drew back here. Today I am going to an airsoft party, and I'm getting back at around 7:30 I think. So, I'll miss the 1st hour of the Super Bowl, which isn't a huge deal but it does stink a little. The past 2 Super Bowls both had horrible 1st halves, until James Harrison returned that touchdown last year. This year, we have the Saints vs. the Colts, and it's gonna be a heck of a game. It's going to be exciting to see who wins it, and I can't wait to watch it.

I am honestly rooting for the Saints, because I really want to see them win. The Colts are a good team and I respect Manning & Reggie Wayne quite a bit, and I won't mind seeing them win, but they just won and I'd like to see the 'aints go all the way. It's going to come down to defense I think, and the Saints have a pretty bad one at that. The Colts have a pretty balanced attack so they will be tough to beat, so that means one of my former faves Jonathan Vilma, needs to step it up and have a big game. Both defenses aren't anything special, but the Colts have the edge at that point.

The Saints have the edge on offense for one reason and one reason only, the rushing attack. I think Reggie Bush is one of the best clutch running backs in the NFL now, especially in the playoffs. He does absolutely nothing in the regular season but he is a lethal weapon in the postseason. Add in Pierre Thomas and you have a good running game. Addai won't be able to match this in any way, shape, or form.

Overall, I think the Saints have enough offense to prevail, but it's gonna be a close game. It could definitely go either way, and we have never seen Drew Brees in such a big game before, so we'll have to see how he handles it. I think he will very well.

Prediction: Saints 30, Colts 27

I'm leaving a poll up now, take your pick, Go Saints, and See Ya!
