Aw crap, yo. Spending the week in an alcohol coma can make you forget things. And seeing New Orleans in a Super Bowl means I can't NOT spend the week in an alcohol coma.
Anyway, Colts. Because the great people of Indianapolis deserve a break after all they've been through with the recent snowstorm. New Orleans has never seen anything like that.

Add in that New Orleans has never won a championship in anything (unless you count LSU), and the emotional choice is easy to see.
Posted by Devin McCullen at February 7, 2010 12:08 PMI'm sorry, I forgot to tell you that Spencer picked the Colts earlier this week.
Posted by j at February 7, 2010 01:13 PMDevin, that policy was in place long before Jim Caldwell. Blame Bill Polian for that.
Posted by Signal to Noise at February 7, 2010 01:32 PMFuckabuncha back stories. This is OUR year. I'll make this deal with the world: Give the Saints this victory, and we'll never allow Katrina to be mentioned in anything other than history books and late night Weather Channel programs ever again. Deal? Thanks.
Posted by DrBundy at February 7, 2010 03:03 PMI never care to experience the cocktail of emotions I felt in the last 3 minutes of the game again: horror, elation, hope, and paralyzing guilt. As a fan of both teams, that was absolutely gutwrenching. From now on, I prefer one good team and one evil team.
