So Da Bears lead the Saints at halftime 16-9, and Indianapolis plays New England later today.
I don't have an obvious rooting interest here, but it would be a helluva feel-good story if the Saints made it to the Super Bowl for the first time in their (mostly miserable) history, so I guess I'm leaning towards them.
In the other game, Peyton Manning is in danger of being tagged with that "can't win the big game" phrase, which I think is unfair. On the other hand, I was on the phone with a friend when San Diego went ahead of the Patriots just before the half last week and told my friend the Patriots would somehow pull it out, and they did. I think New England is kinda like the 49ers back when Montana and Rice played for them; they just figure out how to win. I hesitate to bet against them.
My sympathy's with the Colts; my brain's with the Pats.

Next year. He's playing my Pats today. Go New England!
