Wow! Saints win 31-17.

I sure as heck did not see this coming.

For a bit of Super Bowl fun: Nate Silver said to take the points and the Saints (though he picked the Colts to in straight up) and wrote a good article on the aggressive play calling.

Trivia: I saw the Saints play the Rams this year. In 1989, I saw the 49′ers play the Cowboys, and in 1982, I saw the Redskins play the Buccaneers (note: Doug Williams started for Tampa Bay that day, and went on to quarterback the Redskins to another Super Bowl victory).

So I’ve seen three Super Bowl Champion teams in person.

Key plays: 1. Saints opened the second half (down 10-6) with an onside kick; they got a touchdown. The Colts got it back to go up 17-16 but….then the Saints went up 24-17 after a touchdown and two pointer. But then they intercepted the Colts and ran it back in for the clincher.

The Colts had it at the New Orleans 3 with about 1:30 left in the game (and two time outs) but couldn’t punch it in.
