Just part of my profession...and I did let you know how to deal with such issues.

First of all...this is just insulting! I'm from the New Orleans area. I live north of the city in a smaller city called Slidell. The hurricane passed all around us, but we were spared for the most part. I, and my family here were blessed to receive very minimal wind damage, and not lose everything from hurricane Katrina. We were the lucky ones. This "drinking game" makes some really low blows at our citizens and our football team, the New Orleans Saints.

Yes, the Saints DO deserve to be in the Super Bowl! They are the #1 N.F.C. division team this season! Our quarterback has posted phenomenal numbers this year. Yes, even beating Peyton Manning in some areas in passing. Our team has won 15 games, and WILL win one more. The Super Bowl!

I am not ashamed to be born and raised in Louisiana. I will never be humiliated to be a life-long New Orleans Saints fan! As much as other people keep saying we're playing the "Katrina card" I know that's not true. Unless you went through it, and it effected your life in any way...you have NO idea. Our Saints have fought hard this season, and DO deserve to be in the Super Bowl and win it. They have worked up from the horrible losing seasons of their past to become one of the best elite teams in the N.F.L. today! I will yell "WHO DAT" as many times as I want to support our team! It is our credo and is our right to say it N.F.L. Who Dat belongs to everyone.

Yeah, I DO have a sense of humor, but this is just NOT funny. I do not like it, I will not support this "drinking game". I am truly insulted as a resident of Louisiana, and a Saints fan.

Hey, the Saints are the underdogs. I've heard said all this week how their defense has been dubbed "dirty" when all they've done is play hard. I guess knocking down quarterbacks is not playing football then? They keep saying in the media that this Super Bowl is the "Colts game to lose". The Saints will NEVER get the respect that they deserve, and I hate that. Even if, and they will, win this Super Bowl, they still won't get the respect.

As a resident of my state, and a HUGE fan of my football team I have to reply to this. I will not let it go. I will not back down. I will always support my home, my state, and my football team. Oh yeah...I almost forgot....honestly I didn't forget...

WHO DAT!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[OSCORP]

Here are the picks, plus thoughts on the game:
Brian Baldinger
Pick: Colts, 31-23

The Colts have been the best team from start to finish, and are led by the best player in the league at the most critical position. If this game turns into a shootout, I want the ball in Peyton Manning's hands.
Brian Billick
Pick: Colts, 31-27

If Dwight Freeney does not play, this game gets placed in the pick-'em category. This should be a track meet, with the team that has the ball last being the winner. I'm not sure New Orleans can put enough pressure on Manning.

Pick: Colts, 34-31

Two reasons the Colts will win: Manning might be the greatest QB of all-time; and second, of the 27 teams that played in the game for the first time, 19 have lost. Four of the wins were done by teams with a Hall of Fame coach and quarterback.
Bucky Brooks
Pick: Colts, 27-17

Peyton Manning's ability to exploit defenses makes the Colts offense nearly impossible to stop. The Saints will keep it close for a half, but eventually Manning will make Gregg Williams' defense pay for bringing a lot of pressure.
Vic Carucci
Pick: Colts, 27-24

Peyton Manning has owned the 2009 season. Why should the Super Bowl be any different? He is in a zone unlike any he has been in during his career. The Colts defense should be able to hold its own enough to allow Manning to make plays.
Fran Charles
Pick: Colts, 27-24

The Colts' underrated defense has finally jumped into lock-step with their offense. Indy's defense gave up the fewest number of plays over 20 yards all season (36), and even without Dwight Freeney, that's not likely to change.
Stacey Dales
Pick: Colts, 27-24

Experience wins out in this one. Manning is possessed. As much as I love the storyline surrounding the Saints, another complete 53-man effort from the Colts wins it. The Colts have 19 undrafted players on their roster; they're a true team.
Charles Davis
Pick: Colts, 31-21

Indy's ability to take care of the ball will be key vs. a Saints defense that was dented for big yardage by the Vikings, but capitalized on five turnovers. The Colts' defensive speed could be key, but the injury to Dwight Freeney gives me pause.
Jamie Dukes
Pick: Colts

Are the Saints a team of destiny or is this the next step for Peyton Manning as he tries to matriculate up the pole of greatness? The Saints rely too much on turnovers for me to pick them over the Colts, who do a good job of not killing themselves.
Scott Hanson
Pick: Colts

The Colts won every game they tried to win this season. Granted, they were losing in the fourth quarter in seven games ... but they won them all. I can't help but think it will be similar against the Saints.

Michael Irvin
Pick: Undecided

In my mind, I can't put anyone above the greatness of Peyton Manning. My mind says Colts. But I also understand the importance of emotion in a football game. I love what Manning is, but this thing in New Orleans is huge. The Saints have my heart.
Pat Kirwan
Pick: Saints, 31-30

It's going to be a high-scoring game with the point total a little over 60. The lead will change six or seven times. And the Saints' red-zone defense will force enough field goals instead of touchdowns for New Orleans to grab the victory.
Jason La Canfora
Pick: Saints, 31-28

I'm going to continue to go with my gut over my head. New Orleans scores a defensive touchdown, Reggie Bush is big in the return game and the Saints win the turnover battle. Darren Sharper as the game's MVP perhaps?
Michael Lombardi
Pick: Colts, 27-20

The Saints are a formidable opponent for the Colts, but the difference in the game is Peyton Manning. Drew Brees is the best quarterback the Colts have faced all year, but Manning is the best QB the Saints have faced as well. Manning is always the difference.
Steve Mariucci
Pick: Colts, 31-24

I see two high-scoring offenses going up and down the field in a very exciting game. Two great offenses against two vulnerable defenses. I think any turnovers in this game will be huge, because either offense can score quickly on a short field.
Bob Papa
Pick: Saints, 30-26

It's hard to pick against Peyton Manning -- ever. But Dwight Freeney's injury levels the playing field, and the Saints secondary is as healthy as it has been since midseason. The Saints have won so many dramatic games. Destiny has arrived at New Orleans' doorstep.
Warren Sapp
Pick: Saints, 24-21

Two premier QBs in this game, and a pair of defenses that will need to pressure them. Without a premier rusher up front, the Saints will need to find a way to get disrupt Manning. Let's see if Gregg Williams can dial up something that Manning hasn't seen, and maybe the Saints get a turnover late.
Steve Wyche
Pick: Colts, 31-28

Peyton Manning's ability to get his offense playing its best in the fourth quarter pays off again. Tight end Dallas Clark could have a huge game. The Saints stand a good chance if their special teams hits a few big plays. Mike Bell is an X-factor.



OSCORP: Personally, i don't think the Saints D in a neutral environment can handle what Manning and the Colts can do on offence. I think it will be close but Manning scores just a few more.

Colts 28
Saints 24

 

[JediMike71]

Okay, well, that's your opinion. Nice illustration with all of the quotes and picks from the broadcasters. That's all well and fine...and whatever. We'll all find out the real score in less than two days. I stand by my Saints winning the game. You said the same score you predicted earlier "Oscorp"

Colts 28
Saints 24

I will repeat the prediction I said after yours.

Saints 28
Colts 24

But, I really expect the score to be higher than that if both offenses really get going fast and hard, back and forth. So...we'll see what happens....

Jedi- I don't see the drinking game as making fun of the people of NO... I see it more making fun of the network and the commentators.

Katrina was a really crazy thing that happened to you guys and I personally wouldn't make fun of that.... Especially since I volunteered to help for Katrina Relief.

So sorry if it offends you, but I still think it's funny just for the fact that you know the network is gonna do everything on that list.... Especiallly the Kim Kardasian part.

My prediction:
Saints: 35
Colts: 31

Geaux Saints!!!!

 

[wofford29]

That Saints drinking game needs to add that with every drink you take you have to wash it down with some chocolate fresh from the chocolate city.

Colts - 78
Saints - 3

[Fritz]

Sean Payton jinxed the Saints. He touch the Lombardi Trophy during the last photo shoot press conference. That's a big no-no. You don't touch the trophy until you win the game. Jim Caldwell didn't touch it. I was going to switch my pick to the Saints because I have a feeling Reggie Bush is going to have a big game but now I can't.

That's cool Bamboota. I can see the humor in it now. I wouldn't put anything past any of those TV network commentators. Especially ESPN. I don't care much for the CBS NFL coverage. I'd prefer to see Pat Summerall and John Madden come back and do the game. But I know that's not going to happen. Or even Al Michaels and John Madden! That would be great too!

I like your prediction! That's right...GEAUX SAINTS!

No...coach Payton did NOT jinx the Saints. Just because he touched the trophy does not mean that the Saints will lose. Many coaches have touched the trophy in past press conferences, and still won the Super Bowl.

THE SAINTS WILL WIN!

I think that is a typo. It should be Deron Williams.
