This is extremely late but definitely needs to be posted. Congratulations to the New Orleans Saints, Superbowl 44 champions. I was happy for the Saints in their 31-17 win over the Indianapolis Colts and even more happy for the team's long suffering fans.
And in a local boy makes good note, congratulations to 3rd string Quarterback Chase Daniel. Daniel bounced around the league earlier this year after being cut by several teams. But, he found a home with the Saints. Even though he carried a clip board in the big game he will always be able to say he was a member of a Super Bowl Champion. For the past three seasons prior to this one I had the pleasure to watch Daniel play quarterback at Mizzou and take the Tigers to three consecutive bowl games. Congrats to you too Chase.

Congrats to the Saints
The New Orleans Saints are headed to the Super Bowl! Who would have thought it years ago when Saint fans used to show up at games with bags over their heads and called themselves the "Aints".
The NFC Championship game was sloppy to say the least and the Saints probably benefited from poor officiating in their 31-28 overtime win over the Minnesota Vikings. But, nonetheless they are headed to South Florida to take on the mighty Indianapolis Colts in Super Bowl 44. Indy has been installed as a six point favorite by Las Vegas but I will be cheering for the underdog Saints and their thousands of fans in the Crescent City. Geaux Saints!

A Win and a Loss
My beloved Tigers stepped up this weekend and beat a decent Kansas State team out in Manhattan 38-12. Danario Alexander continues to impress with his speed and agility. He may be one of the most under rated wide outs in the nation. And the defense did a great job too. Sean Weatherspoon dominated the Wildcats and helped lead the Tigers fourth quarter goal line stand that rebuffed K-State on four trys. The Tigers are back home this weekend against Iowa State at Faurot Field and will be looking to improve on their 6-4 record.
Sunday was not as good a day for St. Louis football fans. The Rams played well in the first half but ultimately lost to a very good New Orleans Saints team, 28-23. The Rams are now 1-8. The Rams were tied at half 14 apiece, but New Orleans ran the second half kickoff back for a touchdown and never looked back. Up next for the Rams, the defending NFC Champion Arizona Cardinals in the Valley of the Sun.
