When you're a Saints fan like me, you just get accustomed to watching the playoffs, let alone the Super Bowl, without them. Hence I'm fine with it.

Haha Y'know, when I jumped on board in '93, I had no idea what I was getting into. I'm jealous of you even cheering for a team successful enough that you're able to harbour such bitter feelings towards a Broncos-less Super Bowl.

Sadly, the first Houston Texans playoff game is going feel about as big as a Super Bowl game for me. If they every make the playoffs that is.....

You guys are definitely heading in the right direction. With Reggie, Vince and Leinart all having off years, and Mario picking up 14.5 sacks, all of a sudden the 2006 draft "blunder" looks like a pretty good move now. That defence just keeps getting better and better. Unfortunately you were beat up with injuries all year, at key positions(Schaub and Johnson out for extended periods of time), and it doesnt help you played in the NFL's toughest division this year. I think the future looks very bright in Houston.

Well, I've been MIA due to work but I got a chance to catch the action in the US and it was GREAT news all around.

Always have had a soft spot for Favre, so it was nice to see him dominate.

I absolutely HATE the Colts, so it was even better to see Manning and the rest of 'em get booted by the Chargers.

And of course, another great game by Brady when it counts.

Watch out for those Giants though, 'cause they're riding on a serious high right now and if taken lightly will do some more damage.

With Moss' recent controversy, I fully expect Brady to give him the ball almost exclusively as the team rallies around their star receiver. Sunday's gonna be great! Pats... and no Colts!
