New Orleans Saints beat the Indianapolis Colts in Super Bowl XLIV

For those of you who missed the 44th Super Bowl on Sunday night, you missed a great and unexpected game. The underdog New Orleans Saints pulled away with 31-17 win against the Indianapolis Colts.

At the end of the first quarter, the Colts were winning 10-0, so it looked like it would be a blow out. But in the fourth quarter, the Saints were ahead 24-17 with 5 minutes remaining on the clock. Then Colts quarterback Peyton Manning threw an interception to Saints cornerback Tracy Porter who returned the ball 74 yars for a touchdown giving the Saints their final score.

Although I was happy with the game and the turnout, the halftime show was slightly disappointing. Once again, the NFL chose to rollout an over-the-hill, washed-up rock band to perform. At least The Who performed my favorite song of theirs: “Teenage Wasteland” (beginning at 1:04 in the following video).
