My boy Tony's mom, is a hard core Catholic, and when we were watching the Vikings game, she told me and Tony, that the Saints were going to win that game. This was right BEFORE Favre threw that INT, that sent the game to overtime. She wasn't even watching the game. She just said that she knew already..... Then, after the game, that in Mexico, where she's from, that people used to call her a witch, because she had insights into the future. She then told me, that she knows, that the Saints are going to win the Superbowl. After she called that Vikes game? I will never question that woman's insights ever again.

The media is just blah blah blah talking heads...but the witches, goats, Madden video game and everything else that has given us the nod are by far more credible in my opinion.

I've never used ESPN's Picks for anything but comedy.

I guess it's not so bad being an underdog. We seem to perform better when we're "expected" to lose! Bring home that Lombardi, boys! Who Dat!

Apparently a gorilla picked us to win as well. They had a Saints football and a Colts football laid out for him to play with, and he chose the Saints one. That made me giggle to see this.

Experts at what? 95% of them are barely 500. Their own Computer models can barely hit 500. Let me guess....everyone but Allen got together and programmed the computer simulation?
