New Orleans Saints' Offensive Player Grades vs. Colts

Photo

Julie Jacobson - AP

For the last time this season, these are the offensive player grades against the Colts in the SuperBowl. Keep in mind that while you might find that some of these grades are harsh, the offensive line struggled mightily in short yardage situations and the Saints only averaged 2.8 yards per carry as a team. Regardless of these grades, though, nothing can change the fact that the Saints are SUPERBOWL CHAMPIONS BABY!!!

This brilliant picture comes courtesy of MtnExile. He sent it to me before the Super Bowl but didn't have time to put it up. Now that the Saints are the champions, I think it makes it even better. He spent a lot of time on this, I'm sure, so show him some love. Extra points if you can find my my face.

Super Bowl XLIV: Wrapping it All Up

Check out the stripes on the suit!

Check out the stripes on the suit!

Sean Payton's genius and wisdom extend much further than the football field. I know this for a fact. 

As I was standing in the middle of the Saints locker room after the game Sunday night, just soaking it all in and still in utter disbelief at my surroundings, I noticed Payton quickly walk over to a player, give him a big hug and say, "Nobody can ever take this away from you." 

He could have just as easily been talking to me and he couldn't have been more right.

I will spare you all the long, emotional colloquy I really feel and that comes with a win like this. I've written enough of that crap this past year to last another championship season; maybe two. But when I started this silly little blog, I never once thought it would put me in the middle of ground zero for Saints fans - in the locker room and just inches away from Drew Brees and his death grip on the Lombardi Trophy (I swear he didn't want to let it go. Can you blame him?). I have you guys to thank for that because I would have quit this gig a long time ago without you. Like the random party-goers some of you may have chest-bumped or hugged on Bourbon Street Sunday night, we're all just faces in the crowd that have never met but have one important thing in common: We are Saints fans to the core.

I don't know what the future holds for the Saints franchise. None of us do. Obviously, we all hope this is just the beginning of much continued success. But if it takes another forty-three years for the Saints to ever get this far again, at least I will be able to tell my children and grandchildren that I was there for the greatest moment in New Orleans sports history. Really there. My incredible access during the Super Bowl was more than I could have ever imagined. I felt special - like Wayne and Garth at an Alice Cooper concert - a little naughty - going places I had no business being - and slightly revolutionary - I've got to have been the first "blogger" allowed to get that close to the Saints. I would like to thank SB Nation for that. 

Most importantly, I want to thank the Saints for all of the memories they've given me over the years, this season in particular. Each memory seemed sweeter than the next this season but none of them are as special as the one they gave me on Sunday night. I will never forget Payton's words or anything else I saw, heard, smelled, touched or tasted in Miami.

And no one will ever be able to take them away from me.

Super Bowl XLIV: The View from Section 253 in Pictures

Here are your pictures from all of yesterday's action. It's late and I'm exhausted, mentally and physically. I will try and get a write up to you guys soon but until then, these wonderful pictures ought to hold you over. I've got to admit I have more pictures that I took in the locker room but I don't think I was allowed to take those so out of respect, they will stay with me. 

Relive the magic.
