What The ... We Mean ... Who Dat? The Saints Win, and Other Super Bowl Shockers
February 8, 2010 1:00 AM ET
Drew Brees doesn't quite get why the confetti is colored red and blue, but he's thrilled nonetheless.
Wow. Just ... wow. We guess we have the answer to the age-old question(s), "Who dat? Who dat? Who dat say dey gonna beat them Saints?" And dat is ... no one. But still, there are some more questions we don't have the answer to. So if we were running the Super Bowl postgame press conference, here’s what we would ask …
How quickly will getting the perfect Super Bowl haircut become the newest NFL trend?
We're thinking immediately, right? Because it sure worked for the Saints’ Tracy Porter. You’re telling us there’s no correlation between the "SB 44" etched in Porter’s hair and his game-sealing 74-yard pick six to put the Saints up, 31-17, with 3:12 left in the game? The only question remains, how does anyone best Porter's look next year?
Snap decision: Which was the most adorable on-field display Sunday? Super Bowl MVP Drew Brees and his son, or Puppy Bowl VI?
Tough call. Did you see Drew and his mini-me?!? Then again, did you see the puppies?!? But we're going with Drew and son. Puppies are, by their nature, adorbs. (Have you ever seen a non-cute puppy?) Humans have to work a little harder. And those headphones. That put mini-Drew over the edge. Sad, however, that after thinking, "oh, how cute," when we saw this heart-warming scene, our second thought was an image of Vince Vaughn saying, "earmuffs" to a kid in a Speaker City shirt. Why did you have to ruin this moment for us, Vince? Why?
Can Sean Payton bottle his chutzpah and where can we buy it?
That's right, we said chutzpah. Defined as, "audacity, for better or for worse." Another definition is Sean Payton's decision to go with an ONSIDE KICK AT THE START OF THE SECOND HALF. Boom, Saints recover. Boom, New Orleans scores its first TD on a 16-yard score from Brees to Pierre Thomas. Boom, Saints are up. 13-10. Is that enough "Booms" for you? Good.
Can someone teach Dwight Howard how to Tivo DVR?
Seconds after his McDonald’s spot - the remake of the classic Bird-Jordan H-O-R-S-E aired, Superman himself tweeted “I missed the commercial, did anyone record it.” Poor Dwight. We're sure someone at Mickey D's can send you a copy. Or you can look at it on one of the 1,000 sites that had Super Bowl ads up before they were even finished running.
Does Reggie really have to propose to Kim Kardashian?
Or does the fact that he had a minimal role in the Saints’ win (five carries for 25 yards) negate his promise? Either way, she’ll still go on the White House trip. So to be clear, that’s two Kardashians at the White House this year. Two.
Who did Bill Cowher have to flash to get those Mardi Gras beads he was wearing after the game?
Or perhaps the more appropriate question is, what would the CBS postgame team have worn if the Colts had won? Furry hats? Letterman masks? Corn husks?
What was with the lack of Kardashian and Archie Manning crowd shots?
Major disappointment. Especially since there were ACTUAL ODDS on how many times we'd see each of them. As Sportspickle tweeted at the close of the second half, "Still no Archie Manning or Kim Kardashian shots. CBS game director obviously put big $$$ on the under." Correct us if we're wrong, but we don't think we saw Archie till the third quarter and Kim until the postgame celebrations. Guess that's what happens when there's an interesting game going on.
