Give aways

So...did the Saints win or the Vikings lose?

Not to discredit anything the Saints did but the Vikings gave that game away last night. Too many turnovers and dumb plays. I think the Super Bowl will be a good game with some compelling things to look for, but the Vikings had every opportunity to win that game comfortably yesterday and didn't.

I'm glad the Colts won. Indy seems like a good franchise- well-run, good decision makers, not too many people out for themselves. And that is contrary to a lot of franchises in all sports. The Jets played hard and fortunately, viewers were able to watch some good football after a very mediocre playoff season. I think the final score was about what I was projecting, but the Jets being up 17-6 at one point was a little surprising.

Colts-Saints will be good. I'll be rooting for Baltimore/Indy. I like Manning. (I like Brees too but can't root for both.) Neither defense is exceptionally good so I look for a high scoring game that is relatively close. I think I heard that Indy is 3.5 point favorites.

Oh...and where is the game being played? I hear it is going to be in Miami but the advertisements say South Florida? I know that Miami is south Florida, but why are they trying to distinguish it? The stadium where the Dolphins play is not Miami, so perhaps they are trying to be more geographically correct but I think it's just dumb. Just call it Miami.
