How can Tracy Porter's interception return against Manning not be the most memorable play? It was far more dramatic and exciting, and, oh yeah, it clinched the freaking Superbowl for us!

Garret Hartley's kick that put us in the Superbowl in the first place was more memorable than the onside kick. Don't get me wrong, it was a good play and I was pumped just like anyone would be. But after all is said and done, that play doesn't stand out a whole lot for me.

Holy crap. I actually agree with everything that you just said.



We could have still lost the game after the "Ambush" given that there was still a full half to play. But, the Porter picked guaranteed the win. THAT was the greatest moment I have ever experienced as a Saints fan.
