SUPERBOWL 44!!
Fasten your seatbelts because this year's superbowl is going to kick the eyebrows off last year's.
Text by Claire Webber
It all starts at 6:25 EST, when the New Orleans Saints battle the Indianapolis Colts. Here are a few football facts for you to shout out when watching the game and wanting to impress:
Key Players
Drew Brees- Quarterback (guy who throws the football)
Saints
He was the Offensive Player of the Year in 2008, and a very skilled player.
Reggie Bush- Running back (runs with the football)
Saints
He's highly talked about and runs at the speed of light.
Peyton Manning- Quarterback of the Colts, and the love of my life.
Peyton is the best quarterback in the league. There's nothing he likes more than a challenge, and that's exactly what he'll get tonight when facing the Saints.
Matt Stover- Kicker (guy who kicks the ball through in between the yellow sticks)
Colts
He will be the oldest player to have every played in a Superbowl game.
Other Important Colts
Dallas Clark, Joseph Addai, Jeff Saturday, Pierre Garcon and Reggie Wayne.
Things to Shout
"HE COULD! GO! ALL! THE! WAY!!!" (when someone is running with the football)
"FIRST DOWN, YEAH BABY!" (when they make it to the yellow line)
"HOLD 'EM HERE BOYS!" (when the colts are playing defense)
"GO COLTS" (at any point in time)
The Saints are favoured to win tonight, but I strongly believe otherwise. The Saints have never won a superbowl and have a lot of heart and skill going into this game. As a predominantly offensive team, they will be sure to bring a great performance.
The Colts had a nearly perfect season, but go into the game as the underdogs. Their offense is top-notch and their defense will surely be able to match the Saints. With several injured players, the Colts will have to work the field tonight to make up for their losses.
My money is on the Colts and if you have any idea what's good for you- yours will be too.
Regardless of the outcome, Superbowl 44 will be a great game.
Showdown starts: 6:25 EST (7:25 for us Haligonians)
Half-time show: The Who
GO COLTS GO!!!
