A couple of things that struck me about this. Other than the obvious Man-Love he feels for Fav-Ray. Creepy.

j. The ref in New Orleans, Pete Morelli, had to make the call on Anthony Hargrove for driving Brett Favre into the ground. Had to. Driving the quarterback from off the ground into the ground is a no-brainer call.

REALLY?!?! That play was summed up perfectly by Aikman:"That was a classic form tackle that every player learns in Pop Warner ball."

An officiating crew should NEVER insinuate itself into a game to the extent that this one did on Sunday! Another case of Zebras trying to decide the outcome of a game.

f. Biggest play a player regrets of the day: New Orleans linebacker Scott Shanle staring an Adrian Peterson fumble right in front of him with a 21-14 lead, knowing that a recovery would be a gigantic momentum swing. Instead of diving on the ball, he tried to pick it up and run with it. And failed. The Vikings recovered and scored the tying touchdown a couple of minutes later.

This had me screaming in frustration! I know everyone wants to be a hero and run one back to the house but they had enough trouble overcoming horrible officiating without killing themelves.
When Remy A. picked up the next fumble and started running with the ball all I could think of was Big Sed getting stripped doing the same thing.
If you are over 220 lbs and the ball does not bounce up and hit you directly in the chest..... FALL ON IT!!! This nearly triggered a freakin embolism in my brain.


NEW ORLEANS -- In the losers' locker room Sunday night, there was mostly silence for the first five, 10 minutes that reporters were allowed in. Silence among the players, but the noise on the outside -- the delirium, really -- seeped through the walls. The cries symbolized 43 years of frustration ending, and the wailing of repeated "Who Dat!'' chants, which young and old screamed through the weekend and into this morning in a raucous celebration in the French Quarter, finally got to someone in the room.

"[Bleep] Who Dat!'' came an angry voice from the cluster of the offensive linemen's stalls.

HEE HEE HEE!!!!!!!!

I'm no one.
Who are you?

Choupique

You ever play football?

Picking up a loose ball at a million miles an hour looks easier than it IS.

Try not to be a whiner fan.

Well thank you for making my point for me.

I am pretty sure that I wrote " FALL ON IT!!!".

Which would be easier than "Picking up a loose ball blah, blah, blah...."
