Admittedly, I didn’t know who to root for in the Super Bowl tonight, but decided on the Saints after a friend suggested them (follow her- @aWignall- on Twitter).  The game didn’t start out too much in their favor, with the halftime score at 13-10, although they were in the lead by 3 points.  The halftime show was The Who, and they actually sounded pretty good.

In the third quarter, the Colts pulled ahead by 1 point, leading 17-16.  The Saints made an amazing comeback in the final quarter- pulling ahead to 31-17 after a total of 3 field goals byGarrett Hartley and an amazing pick off of Peyton Manning by Tracy Porter and 74-yard (I think they said 74) touchdown.  I also admit I don’t watch any football besides the Super Bowl, and I get way excited when I’m rooting for a team- even if I’m the only one in my house doing so.  It was definitely an impressive touchdown, as were the three field goals by Garrett Hartley (I believe they also said that was a new record because all three were over 40 yards from the goal?).  

In the fourth quarter, the Saints also grabbed a two point conversion after the play was reviewed and another point after their final touchdown by Tracy Porter.  So, I spent a good time of my evening shouting, and maybe-sometimes clapping a just a little bit.  Needless to say, I definitely enjoyed the game, and some of the commercials were actually pretty funny.  I’m sure the commercials will be replaying all over the Internet and other channels.
