and FYI, the Falcons lost 2 very close games with the Saints last year!! 1 or 2 plays go another way and there’s a whole different outcome!

Congratulations to the saints for winning the Super Bowl. I am glad that they, and their fans are enjoying the triumpth. But I hope that they are not anticipating a repeat this year, as I would hate for them to be disappointed. FACT IS, the saints had to play their a$$es off to squeeze bye the Mighty Falcons in 2009, and they required a significant amount of assistance from the refs, even then. IN 2010, the Mighty Falcons will crush the N.O. saints.

Glad that they won, we get to play them twice, but ya’l overboard popping off like ya’ll the Dynasty of the decade, Alot of teams win one(why my Falcons haven’t boggles me) but thats sports, a lil wisdom for these non football fans, not only must you have a team that matches up to par, you must also avoid injuries, ride a lil luck, and the body of work year in year out tells weather or NOT the team is dynasty worthy, example, (and I hate them) Colts, why cause every year they finished at least12-4 or better, and demand that teams come with their A game,( here comes my point) that only have one ring because of the other factors like injuries and luck which cannot be drafted. SO Stay on topic which is NOT the Saints and two talk like you accutally watch football sometimes and three no matter how much I hate to see folks bragg I didn’;t like the Katrina comments this is about football, now blast me to shreads 4 whatever rubbed your skirt wrong ladies!!
