Nope.

But it had Sean Payton written all over it and I loved it.

Re: Who knew the onside kick was coming?

I put this in another thread about the onside kick, but I was in New Orleans on bourbon street upstairs with about 10 of my friends watching the game in the hotel room so we could hear the game and see it, and we had a balcony that we ran out on to scream every time the Saints made a play or scored.

Right before the 2nd half kickoff I yelled out "Onside kick right HERE Right NOW! Onside kick right HERE!"
Then it happened.
They all looked at me like I was Nostradamus. Then they all jumped up and hi-fived me saying "you called it man, you called it!".
So, did I KNOW it was coming? No.
Was it a lucky call on my behalf? Absolutely.
But it made sense for 2 reasons. 1) I know Sean Payton is a gambler, and 2) The best way to keep Indy from scoring is to keep it out of Peyton's hands.
Calling the onside kick before it happened will always be an extra special memory for me.

Re: Who knew the onside kick was coming?

I called it. In the chatroom I said,

"I wouldn't be at all surprised if the whole first half was a setup to make the colts think we came out flat footed. I'll bet Sean and Drew are in the locker room right now laughing and saying, 'okay they bought it. now let's go kick their ass!' " Then, out loud, I said, "Onside kick" not long before they lined up.

I about shat myself when it happened.

Re: Who knew the onside kick was coming?

I had a friend call me from out of state after the kick. I told him that Sean Payton is sneaky and it would be a great way to start the half. He said when I told him that he said no way.

Re: Who knew the onside kick was coming?

I had no idea this play was the happening play until the commentator shouted it out.
Of course, no one knew SP would use this play, sort of defeats the purpose.
I did hear in the post SB interviews that S.Payton told the official it was coming at some time so to look for it.

I do not like downing people.
J. Mora and B. Phillips were decent coaches during their time. Their day was all a long time ago.
I don't like comparing people so I am not doing that.

I will say S.Payton is not conservative in coaching. Being non-conservative, like in politics too, doesn't mean you're stupid, or risky, nothing like that.
Just saying S.Payton will go for the TD and point after-7pts. instead of usually sure fire FG-3pts.

Saints coaches usually have been not as risky.

When Morstead did the onside kick, I thought he effed up the kickoff! It wasn't until my boyfriend screamed, "HOLY SH*T! An onside kick! Payton's got balllllls!" that I realized what was going on!
