My Super Bowl Pick

Today, I will be cheering on the New Orleans Saints.  I really, really want them to win the Super Bowl.  Now I realize most of Louisville will probably be rooting for the Colts since we are a good deal closer to Indianapolis than we are to New Orleans; however, I'm sticking to my decision to go with the Saints.  Here are my reasons:

1) They are from the South.  I'm from the South.  I like it that way.

2) I like to root for the underdog (unless, of course, said underdog is playing Florida, and then I just talk smack about how the underdog shouldn't be playing in the big leagues).

3) I like the city of New Orleans.  Now, I've never actually been to Indianapolis, but I'm pretty sure New Orleans will trump Indianapolis in terms of the awesome-ness factor any day.

4) I mean, come on, they've never been to the Super Bowl before.  How awesome would that be if they won their first trip there?

5) Peyton Manning is the quarterback for the Colts. Manning was the quarterback for Tennessee while he was in college. Gag.me.with.a.spoon.

Good choice. We're rooting for the Saints because of Drew Brees use to be the Chargers QB.

Keeping it simple and close to home.
