SUPER BOWL - WHO DO YOU THINK WILL WIN?


It's now less than 24 hours before the Super Bowl kicks off in Miami (good thing they're not playing in Washington DC). Who do you think will win? Not, who are you rooting for? (I, for one, am rooting for the Colts because it is the "team that Tony Dungy built" and Peyton Manning is my favorite quarterback next to the now-retired Kurt Warner.) Who do you think will win--and what do you base your decision upon?

I am rooting for the Colts, but I think the Saints will win. Drew Brees is a great QB but mostly because the Saints are probably hungrier. They have never even been to a Super Bowl. They have symbolized a community that has hung tenaciously to its existence. After a difficult ending to the regular season, they seemed to have found themselves again. They believe they can win. It's those intangibles that often bring victory.

Having said that, the Colts have one tangible that rarely fails - Peyton Manning's comeback capacity (just ask the Jets. I have picked the Saints because of the intangibles (kind of a preacher mindset). In this case, though, I'd be very happy if the tangibles decide the game.
