Thnx.
Yea, what a SB that was , Saints ‘ fan or not, but it was truly an NFL fan’s most memorable SB.

Love your painting of Rodriguez, Blue Dog.

Watching NFL Network now, ding it, I did not take the picture in time, but stats were posted of Purdy and Brees.
Purdy is a huge fan of Brees
It was a good, short interview.

Yeah, came across the print about eight or nine years ago at an estate sale. Got it for $250 so it was a steal. It's one of my prized Saints possessions along with an original oil painting of Drew Brees done by an artist I know in NOLA.

Best halftime turnaround in Super Bowl history? Gotta be up there!

Time flies!

Re: 14 Years Ago Today - XLIV
 

Sorry Bro, but 3-28 will forever be the gold standard!

That Tracey Porter Pick Six on Manning tho! WOW!

NewOrleans Saints. AT SuperBowl next year.
Let’s take being AT …for right now, lol as a good thing.
:bng:
AT.

Does being “ AT” the next SB count, lol?

NewOrleans hosts next years’s SB so Saints training facilities, The Dome are AT , lol. next years’ SB.

Making a light moment here.


City of New Orleans needs to start cleaning up, clearing out, tearing down things, like NOW. Curve crime. Street repairs downtown n up St.Charles. Trash. Redo airport….in areas.
Hopefully, no Katrina Hurricane talk.
Good luck to N.O. :p

We can say forevermore that P Manning threw the winning TD pass.

Shortly after XLIV I had a cat named Greer. Was going to name the cat I have now Jenkins but my kids overruled me.

Amazing time. When Hartley made the kick to send them to the Super Bowl, cried, hopped in my car and drove to Bourbon St from Tuscaloosa. Arrived about 3am and it was still crazy. Sat down in a bar and the server told me after the kick, a guy stripped down to his tighty whities and took off running. Never came back. LOL. Partied for 3 days. The Super Bowl itself, I kinda remember just being in shock.

ahh.... living in the past! Great Game, Great Win, Great Team..... compare that to today!? :beatnik:

Porter it should have been? :D

Re: 14 Years Ago Today - XLIV
 

Many obvious memories from that game, however there's one that I don't think is talked about enough and that's how Pierre Thomas sparked the offense.

We don't win this game if not for him, and I don't just mean the TD.

He caught a pass from Brees 2 yards behind the LOS and broke 4 tackles for a 12 yard gain.

To open up the second half, he took a dump off pass up the middle for another first, breaking 3 tackles.

Then that magical screen TD, showcased all his abilities in one.

Absolutely phenomenal player that I think Payton didn't nearly utilize enough.

Ambush! Now, that is my favorite moment of an incredible day for Saints fans. Porter and his pick six sealed the deal but the gutsy call for Ambush turned the game in our favor and is still the boldest call ever in the NFL.

I was a friend’s house, SB party and we live in the same neighborhood.
At 2 nd or 3 rd qrtr, I had to drive home, just lay down in the sofa just to be quiet n hear n see no one for a bit. I had to talk to myself…coach myself…” If I watch, does it matter? If I d not watch,does it matter, the outcome of the game? Ok, I am missing out on everyone and the game so go back.”

Seriously.
Nerves, hyperventilating…I just needed a minute.

That 4 th qrtr….looking, talking…I was putting away food, cleaning the kitchen the last 2-3 mins. Their kitchen , counter, and then den were all in one so I was still in front of the tv , but , far enough away,

After the , at 4 th qrtr, 0:00, everybody laughing, hugging, screaming, crying, inside, outside the front yard n backyard….their neighbors knew that was a Daints fan’s hous becaus outsid was decorated Saints…..everybody trying to call others in area code 504 and hearing, “ I am sorry. All circuits are busy. Please try your call again later…”Something like the recording said.

Unbelievable time.
