Very awesome

I grew up as a Colts fan, but I went to Purdue when Drew was there. I think Purdue is the only place where he means more to the fans than New Orleans, but not by much. Thanks for taking care of him for us.

With respect, you are wrong. That's impossible.

Let's share him equally, then

Both teams wear Gold and Black. It is amazing to see that his Saints jersey is one of the top sellers in the bookstores on campus and you see at least 10 every game day in the fall.

Packers fan here.

I joined last night, but this is my first comment here.

Congrats on winning the Super Bowl! I can’t imagine how much of a boost this will be to not only New Orleans but also that entire area, after the hurricane a few years ago.

Congratilations again. Celebrate your title as much as you can!

Who cares if he's a Cubs fan? This is a football forum! He is a PACKER fan as well. So, from now until March, I’m sure he’ll dedicate a lot of his time here. In late March, then we can be enemies during the baseball season. Besides, the Cubs have perhaps the most loyal baseball fanbase in the country. You have to respect that.

Go Pack!

Cowboy fan congratulating Saints fans on your championship.

You had a great team this season and deserve everything you got. Looking forward to our teams meeting next year. Should be another great season. Enjoy and celebrate the offseason. These titles don’t come every day, but they are awesome when you get one. Congrats!

I was thrilled we won the Lombardi Trophy, but it didn't really surprise me.

What didn’t thrill me, but really surprised me, is Tom Benson still driving.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

I’ve always felt if they have an age minimum for a drivers licence (16 or 17 years old) then they ought to have an age maximum, too!

If you had ever gone for a ride with my dear, sweet mother, you'd take it up as a crusade.

I just heard about the Colts welcome party for their return to Indy

From USA Today
11 people showed up to welcome the Colts home at the airport. 11! Come on Indy. That’s just shameful. Those guys played their hearts out and deserved better than 11 people.

Agreed. But other towns aren’t NO or filled with Saints fans. And in some ways that’s a good thing. I mean, can you imagine how crazy the world would be if we were considered normal? :)
