Super Stupor Edition
Didn't see that coming. New Orleans is finally rebuilt thanks to the Saints' sneaky victory over the Colts last night in the Super Bowl. In retrospect, Sean Peyton was a blown onsides kick away from quite possibly being the first coach fired after a Super Bowl defeat, considering their unsuccessful 4th down conversion in the first half (3 run plays versus 1 pass play from the goal line? Who are you, Sean Payton? The Anti-Andy Reid? Note to Andy Reid: RUN THE BALL). The Saints defense allowed over 400 yards of offense once again, but somehow remained stout and opportunistic enough to seal the deal. Apparently all Tracy Porter does is pick off Hall of Fame quarterbacks. And how quickly did this game go? I guess only 8 penalties and 21 total incompletions will speed up a game a bit, but even with The Who dat halftime, the game still got over really early.
Hurricanes > Earthquakes. One sad note resulting from the outcome of this game: without the enduring presence of a Pierre Garcon Disney commercial, will Haiti have a high enough profile to efficiently rebuild? Here's to the Haitian ski team in the Olympics, huh. I hear they got a real shot this go-round.
Stanley Cup champion crowned. While hockey isn't quite as popular (not yet anyway) as football, it is important to note that the Washington Capitals clinched the Stanley Cup with a come-from-behind victory over the defensively soft reigning champs, the Penguins. Ovechkin once again got the better of the Kid, scoring a hat trick and assisting on the game-winning OT goal. That's 13 straight for the Caps who are hot at the wrong time considering this two-week break that is rapidly approaching.
Day After Tomorrow. With the end of football season, the college basketball season officially gets underway. So take solace, Nova fans, for it's like that terrible terrible loss to the Hoyas never actually happened. And lookee here, don't we got some special games on tap to get the season going right from the get-go. Let's do it.
Hatian ski team? yea next thing you'll tell me is that Yuel Brenner is the captain of a Jamaican Bobsled team that's lookin to dominate the shit out of a flawless Swiss team.
