That was, I think, the gutsiest Super Bowl performance I have ever seen. Excellent game.

I'm thrilled for the team, their fans, and for the City of New Orleans.

I agree, what a performance by this gutsy Saints team.

One of the cleanest, most well-played SB's I've seen -- a minimum of penalties and only the one TO. Congratulations to the Saints, the city of Nawlins, and most especially to their owner Tom Benson. A good dude who deserves this as much as anyone.

Congrats to the Saints. The city and team deserve it. I'm happy for Drew Brees. A great coaching job by Payton, one of the best I've ever seen.

I can agree with all of that. Both teams were performing at a high level, and the Saints held themselves together much better under the pressure.

and most especially to their owner Tom Benson. A good dude who deserves this as much as anyone.

I know several Saints fans who would completely disagree with this. He is hated by a good number of Saints fans.

correct me if I'm wrong, but Tom Benson wanted to move the team after Katrina.

And I think if it wasn't for Paul Tagliabue he would've gotten his wish. I could see why Saints fans wouldn't like him but other fans and players would see him as a cool guy.

Really. I was unaware of this, Irn - perhaps like another poster said he's one of those guys fans of other teams see as benevolent, I dunno. Thanks for the info brother.

I am so happy the Saints won and grateful that the game was well played on both sides. I am also happy that there is yet one more team that has won a Super Bowl while the Eagles have not.

I think it was all of the passing and precision offense that got to me. Sure, it was a clean and well-executed game. But it just didn't feel very much like football to me.

Maybe part of the problem is that I watched the Six Nation's match between England and Wales the day before. Amazing to see a sport that isn't interrupted every 2 minutes by commercials, has real flow to the game, and isn't dictated by a series of 8-yard hook routes.

It was kind of ugly. There were a lot of drops. No big plays. It was competitive but it wasn't that fun to watch.

And the commercials were nothing special either.

I think another part of the problem might have been the absence of the B&G. I know a big part of my general ambivalence towards any SB's the 'Skins aren't repping stems from that fact -
