And we're mere moments away from the most anticipated - most hyped - single day sporting events in our culture. The Super Bowl. Nothing captures the American consciousness like the NFL Championship game. Parties. Commercials. All-hang-out football. Football for the uninitiated. Football for the most ardent fan.
Football at its most pure.
Tonight the Colts and the Saints battle for the right to call themselves champion. And this year there will be a true champion. Its the first time in over twenty years the top teams in each conference face each other.
The Colts literally gave away a perfect season in the name of playoff preparation. The Saints at 13-0 were still battling for the top seed with the Vikings. Peyton Manning - son of the face of the New Orleans Saints - faces his home town team in the only professional uniform he's ever worn. Drew Brees, cast off from the Chargers when Phillip Rivers became their choice to head the franchise, leads the once moribund Saints to their first Super Bowl and with him and his team, the hopes of a devastated city.
This should be an epic, offensive battle. Enjoy....and the Saints win the toss and will receive.
