“One Man’s Opinion” by Gordon Curvey

For the first time in their 43 year history, the New Orleans Saints are going to the Super Bowl after  beating the Vikings 31-28 in New Orleans.

I think this is great for the Saints and great for the city of New Orleans after what they are going though after Hurricane Katrina. They are still recovering after the terrible hurricane.

The Saints won on a 40 yard field goal by Garrett Hartley to win the NFC title game and go on to the Super Bowl in a few weeks in Miami to play Payton Manning and the Colts. The Colts beat the Jets to move on to the Super Bowl.

Brett Farve threw a interception to end the Vikings chances for going to the Super Bowl. One you never do is pass the ball across the field like Farve did. Just like in basketball, you do not pass the ball across the court.

One thing for sure the Vikings would not be in the position they were in without Brett. He had a great season for a 40 year old QB. Maybe one of his best.

I hope the fans of the Vikings realize this and not blast him for that last play. He is a first ballot Hall of Famer. Now we have to wait and see again to find out if he is going to retire again. I think he should. He took a terrible beating in the game.

So now Drew Brees and the Saints move on to the Super Bowl in Miami. Let the hype begin for the next two weeks. Two weeks is to long. They should play the doggone game a week after the title games in my opinion.
