“He was guilty of nothing, except that he earned his own fortune and never forgot that it was his.“ The concept contained within that phrase is what has set America apart, and made her the greatest nation on Earth. And it is the systematic attack on that concept, that this website is dedicated to fighting. This website is NOT devoted to making people “wealthy”, but rather to fighting the notion that the “wealth” they DO have needs to be “redistributed”.

Today?

Saints today, Lions in ‘13
[4]
MFG -
2113???? Heck, I’ll probably be in the old folks home by them. Seriously, retirees were in 1st grade the last time the Lions won an NFL Championship (1957).
[5]
For years and years and years I’ve heard that the Saints will win the Super Bowl “when hell freezes over”
Well, you know with all of this cold weather and snow all over the country that must mean that hell is…
Well, I’m just sayin’…
[6]
No, 2013 when the game is in New Orleans
I’ll show you and the Missus around the French Quarter when you come down to see the Lions play the Browns in the Super Bowl that year
Rematch of all of those great 50’s title games…
[7]
The last two times the Lions won the NFL championship, it was against the Browns. I have a nwphew who works for the Sugar Bowl (and lives in NO). We always tease him about working one day a year.

Final score today:
44-56
Oh wait, that’s Hussein’s numbers. Sorry
[9]
Finish Strong

#8 LOL!!

[12]
Colts 31 Saints 17… I did not look at any point spreads or lines before coming up with these numbers.
Also, was going to watch so I could see the Tebow commercial then this morning I read that the greatest rock band of all time was going to play the half-time show, so now I must watch….
[13]
OH — I have no skin in the game so I don’t care WHO wins!!!!

Overture

[17]
I am reposting this from yesterday so sorry if it looks and sounds redundant.
The Colts D without a healthy Freeney is not even close to the menace they were all year. Robert Mathis will be double teamed and Indy will not be able to put pressure on Brees. This will be the undoing of the Colts. The Saints will be able to run on ‘em which will in turn give Drew Brees all day to pass off of play-action. Manning will keep the Colts in it but Bush on Special Teams and the 3-headed running attack mixed with precision throws and patience from Brees and the Saints will be too much for the Colts.
Final Score
New Orleans – 37
Indianapolis – 31
New Orleans will score 9 points in the 4th quarter and Reggie Bush will be the Super Bowl MVP for 2 big plays (1 on a Special Teams Return). Manning will be classy as always in defeat and NOLA will party for a week. When all is said and done they will compare this SuperBowl to the Denver – Green Bay Super Bowl of ‘97. Elway did just enough and Terrell Davis carried the day.

Breaking news on Drudge, apparently there has been an explosion at a Conn. power plant.

Everyone, why don’t you repost your Super Bowl predictions from yesterday here
$25 gift certificate from Amazon if anyone gets the exact score
Please also answer the tiebreak question as Ghost did above
Tiebreak: How many points will the Saints score in the fourth quarter?
[21]
Colts 34

I hope my new Gravatar does not offend you.
[26]
MFG.

[27]
Colts 42
Saints 34

[28]
EPH why would your Gravatar offend me?

This Is Our Year!
[32]
I hope the Saints go down in flames. They have become “the chosen ones” and are said that they “deserve to win” because of the turmoil New Orleans has had to endure.
Recently, there was somebody else (he will be nameless here) who was called the “chosen one” and that he “deserved to win” because of past events (even though those past events never actually touched him, he reaped the benefits from them) .
While I admit the Saints happen to be much more qualified than our nameless One, the fact remains even if they weren’t “qualified” to be in the Super Bowl they would still be the “chosen ones”. The Saint loss equals a loss for the One.
No doubt the game will be exciting, and we all know which team the msm will be pulling for, but here’s something fun for all of you to consider: imagine how torn apart the msm would be if Manning was black.
[33]
Mullet’s prediction (drum roll please)
Colts 31
Saints 27
Saints will score 10 in the 4th quarter.
[34]
EPH…I provided a link to Sarah’s appearance on Fox News Sunday in the previous thread. It’s great.

As you know due to the time difference the game is already started in England. My contact there says the Saints have jumped to an early 14-0 lead in the first 5 minutes. Colts won the toss, Peyton threw a pick-6 from midfield on the Colts first drive, the Saints recovered an onsides kick on the ensuing kickoff and scored in 5 plays.
[54]

Birthers: Never say die
Gonna be real fun watching what the Democrats do regarding 2012. Will they protect Obama knowing he will lose or do they throw everything they have at him, including eligiblit, to make sure he isn’t their candidate?
[57]
I could care less who wins the game. I am just here for the chips and beer.
[58]
Warning: vulgarity

[59]
I’m here for the game…and the Tebow ad.
It would be nice if they could have a split-screen, and show the Tebow ad on one side and Joy Behar’s head exploding on the other.
scenario: you’re going into a restaurant and your friend says this is going to be a GREAT dinner! In order to set more REASONABLE expectations do you say:
(a) It might not be that great…it might just be average
(b) We might DIE from poisoning
[60]
“It would be nice if they could have a split-screen, and show the Tebow ad on one side and Joy Behar’s head exploding on the other. ”
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
[61]
I hope y’all haven’t already had too much beer to get my Behar restaurant analogy!
[62]
1 hour to go
[63]
High Scoring Game
Colts 48
Saints 45
Saints have 17 point Q4.
Here’s hoping I’m wrong. I like underdogs, the Irsay family was one of the most vocal owner groups opposing Limbaugh’s partial ownership of the Rams and I don’t want to see Payton Manning in every third TV commercial for the next six months.
[64]
I can’t imagine the Saints will give up 48 points
[65]
JR -
It would be great to see Baher’s head explode. Don’t want to see it otherwise (too frugly).
[66]
About a week or so ago I had a dream that the Saints came back late and beat the Colts in an unusually low scoring game 21-20
So that’s my prediction:
Saints 21
Colts 20
Saints score 14 in the fourth quarter
[67]
Winning The Trophy Named After His Granddad?
[68]
*sigh*
Was Peyton Manning in the Old Testament or the New Testament?
[69]
Colts entered the field and got booed
[70]
Hopefully, it will be a good game. So many SBs have been all but over in Q3.
[71]
MFG,
How many posts do you have on this thread?
[72]

Is President Ubiquitous doing the coin toss?

Eph been meaning to say I love the gravatar.
What’s with Yahoo anyway?
[81]
Imagine the disappointment when those tuning in for a (as NOW and AbortionRocks! billed it): “light-hearted national event intended to bring us all together” …discover it’s a FOOTBALL GAME!
sweeeeet!!
[82]
Dunno
Sent him an email a few days ago without response
[83]
eph — I love dead cat jokes…
[84]
I’ve been real busy so I have a short chance to make a prediction.
1. New Orleans wins 24-20.
2. Because their nickname is The Saints Eric Holder immediately asks for a federal investigation of the results thinking it is a Roman Catholic Team owned by the Vatican.
3. President Obama, not to be outdone, claims the white referees acted stupidly and blew a call on purpose. Of course the real reason found out by Glenn Beck is the call was made to help suck up to citizens in Indiana so Bayh can win re-election.
3A. Keith Olbermann unleashes a tirade of insults calling the head ref a radical, right-wing, gay hating, anti-Muslim, NRA hating, tea bagging, anti-abortion, sexist pig because the Colts cheerleaders are dogs.
4. Harry Reid and Pelosi immediately announce congressional investigations into the matter promising transparent hearings.
5. bc3b is called on to testify in the hearings to complain that the Detroit Lions ha ve had this happening for years and wants to know why no one has ever complained before.
5A. After much debate the White House announces that the federal government will now take over the NFL and it will be paid for by a 500% tax on beer at the games.
6. It all ends when Hitler throws a fit on a video because the Munich Numbnuts of the European Football League was not granted a franchise in the NFL but the Hamas Bombers were granted one after the govt run league announced it was only fair they get one.
[85]
Queer Latifah?
Is it kick off yet ??????????????????????
[86]
MI C
Dude, that was good!
lol
[87]
Didn’t Obama do a great job on the National Anthem? I didn’t even see a teleprompter.
[88]
It;s been about three weeks since Yahoo has been onboard.
[89]
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTjvEFbSNYo
Is this pathetic or what? Obama makes my point in 32 exactly.
That is the kiss of death for the Saints.
[90]
Where you at Yahoo?
Come talk with us this Super Bowl Sunday!
[91]
MiC….lol…now go have a drink.
[92]
MI C=DUDE, LOL
bc-Did you see I mentioned you in post 84???
[93]
I can’t afford the beer tax!!!
[94]
Obama declared NFL Champion after winning the Super Bowl!
[95]
89. Colts in a blowout
[96]
Munich numbnuts vs Hamas bombers?
lol
[97]
DID I just see Barney Frank patting all the Saint players on the butt??
[98]
IST QT. THREAD!
[99]
EPH
You are what we call, in the investment biz, a contrary indicator
[100]
Manning looks sharp
[101]
Saints are laying back in coverage the way they did against the Patriots
[102]
Colts draw first blood. Saints got a way with a couple of def pass interferences during that drive.
[103]
The Saints are faking blitzes then dropping back eight into coverage
Interesting
[104]
Saints D needs a blow, better not go 3 and out again or it could get ugly.
[105]
If they keep playing man coverage they’re going to get toasted long
[106]
Marques…!!!
[107]
MFG -
Have the Saints been scrimmaging with the Lions the past two weeks?
[108]
Dropped it right in his hands
I like the Saints defense so far though
[109]
The Saints DC is playing against the pass–looks like a couple of runs burned him.
[110]
Colts calling a beautiful game
[111]
*sigh*
[112]
YES!!!!
[113]
Soften them up with the pass, the run it up the soft middle, then remind them why they were playing against the run.
[114]
112. Are you watching Haze vids???
[115]
Saints D on the field way too long. If their Offense doesnt chew time and score this possession this game is ovah!
I need to go back and edit that prediction I made I think.
[116]
Blitz exposed the secondary
[117]
I had a feeling this one might be a blow out.
[118]
Long way from over
[119]
Maybe the Lions did make the Super Bowl after all.
[120]
commercials are lame so far…. GO COLTS!!!!
[121]
Although the Colts look great right now
[122]
My Colts 48 looks about right. It’s the Saints 45 that’s a problem.
[123]
Perfectly called game by the Colts
[124]
When is half time so I can turn the tv on?
[125]
Someone at Monster.com was told their superbowl commercial needed a lot of beaver in it…..lol, roflmao….
[126]
No that was last night EPH, tonight is football.
BTW this million+ dollar commercials eerrr suck.
[127]
these.
[128]
The violinist thing was creepy
What is that some kind of bestiality thing?
Yucchhh…
[129]
wft you can get exercise from a sneaker now?? lol
[130]
CBS didn’t mention Katie in their Network of the Decade commercial…gee wonder why CBS news didn’t make any number one lists… oh yes… because THEY SUCK!!!
[131]
Colts covering well, Brees may throw a pick today…
[132]
MFG — that was a Beaver commercial… lots and lots of beaver….lol… women are going to love that commercial.. provided their IQs hit above room temperature…I’m still laughing
[133]
Wow! Pierre Thomas be a hoss
[134]
Saints clicking now
[135]
Colts getting a good pass rush
[136]
only fg… that was a nice drive up to that point.
[137]
Better bring the D now boys
[138]
Freeney got a sack as injured as he is
What a super hoss
[139]
JHC how much is Bud spending on commercials? seen 3 new ones so far and barely paying attention.
[140]
Hey what happenened to Bud Bowl? Or Bikini Bowl ???
[141]
MFG,
Are you planning on a second half thread?
[142]
Uggggghhh
Creepy half naked fat people…???
[143]
Sure, I’ll put up a second half thread
[144]
I don’t want to curse my Colts 31 Saints 17 ..
[145]
No pants career builder ad followed by a no pants clothing ad?
idiots
[146]
Total lack of originality with two commercials back to back with people in their underwear. … marketing majors are because they can’t do accounting!!!
[147]
Jesus, right in your hands!
Lucky break for us
[148]
Can’t believe he didn’t catch that.
[149]
This is about as good as the Saints D can play
Where is the offense…???
[150]
One drop for ech team.
[151]
Each drop was costly too
[152]
Dove at could have been good.. if it wasn’t for Dove… uhhh
[153]
Where da’ offense at?
[154]
ad
[155]
Throw deep Drew
[156]
Great catch Lance!
[157]
Wow, Colts D is fast!
[158]
Marques…!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[159]
Made up for that drop!
[160]
I predict the game will start on time.
[161]
Hey, RP!
Your Colts playing very well
[162]
Third down at the 1
Huge
[163]
Saints are getting their sea legs under them…
[164]
Stats even now
[165]
Saints may score a touchdown. Problem is, Manning gets 1 1/2 minutes to score.
[166]
The flowers commercial sucks too
[167]
165. Saints HAVE TO score a Touchdown.
[168]
Big play coming up. TD needed cuz Colts get the ball w 2 min left and get the 2nd half kickoff.
[169]
True, RP
Although I’m getting the feeling the Saints have recovered from being rocked back on their heels
[170]
Dammit, Mike
[171]
Run the ball up the middle
[172]
4th down
Going for it…???
[173]
TV time out? Taking any rhythm the Saints had.
[174]
Son of a bitch
[175]
WOW nice stoppage!
[176]
DENIED!!
[177]
yahooo!!!!haha go colts!!!!
[178]
Colts D looks awsome
[179]
Colts were ready for “that” run
[180]
172 – I would of.. it was 1ft or so..
[181]
Getting the ball back!
[182]
Come on Reggie!!!
[183]
“Girlfriend has removed his spine”
lol!
[184]
Flotv… useless, but funny commercial.
[185]
Colts D is great
No one does this to the Saints no one
[186]
I believe no one has held the Saints without a TD for a half
[187]
Hartley great
[188]
I put up a second half thread
[189]
Wow Jeff and Jordan will be back on tv… lol
[190]
Nice defensice comeback in Q2.
