1971 (the year he was drafted by New Orleans) Saints colors # 8 with Manning (Archie) on the back..the NFL issue throwback is going for $225 the originals on ebay going for even more
for the first time in Super Bowl history, more people are coming to one of the team's cities rather than to the host city of the Super Bowl because everyone wants to be in the French Quarter Sunday night right after the Saints WIN !!!! City officials are predicting larger crowds then the largest Mardi Gras (over 1M) for both Sunday night victory party and Tuesday's victory parade.
I'm avoiding the madness and going to my neighbor's to watch the game and not planning on going to work until Wednesday and then Friday night starts the build up to Fat Tuesday
It's safe to say that "Who Dat" nation is going to be very tired on Wednesday Feb. 17th, but we will still make Mass (and that's probably when you will see my next posting0
for my cruisemates who are Colts fans, I think it's safe to say that no matter which team wins we all win (since Peyton is a New Orleans product). The feeling here is that the game could go one of two ways..the Colts break out for a big early lead in the 1st half, Saints come storming back in the 2nd half to tie it, game goes into overtime, Saints win...Saints kick butt from the opening kick off and never look back..this could be the largest tv audience to watch the game in Super Bowl history
