Due to driving from Baton Rouge to Atlanta and being without a computer for the ride, I missed posting on the biggest sports and music day of 2010. The Jealous. Speaking on the Super Bowl: asamp was right wrong. I'm not even upset because the Colts aren't my team, I'm just more surprised. Congrats to the Saints and their fans though. Drew Brees played his ass off and the defense held Peyton to a lot less than I expected. Good shit. And not only that, but this year's Super Bowl was the most watched television program....EVER. Yes, EVER. More people watched the Saints beat the Colts than the finale of For the Love of Ray-J. I know, hard to believe. But something that's not hard to believe is that Drew Brees is about to get PAID. Respect.
On the music tip: Jets. Smokee Robinson finally dropped. Oh, and it's dope as hell. Spitta did not disappoint with this one. Early favorites are Lemon Kush over Gucci's Lemonade and Vision over Kanye's Last Call. Shouts to @jus_huong for the DL link.
So yea, I'm still in Baton Rouge but I'll be damned if I don't make it back to Atlanta by kickoff. It's no real surprise but I'm going with Indy on this one. Peyton's been here before and even though he's only won one ship before this year, a win here could claim him the spot as the best quarterback of all-time. Dwight Freeney's probably not as hurt as we all think and I'm not confident in New Orleans' ability to stop the Indianapolis offense. Not to mention, my Bears are nowhere near the Super Bowl so I guess Indy's the best choice. Plus...they have a black head coach. Sorry Reggie, sorry Kim, sorry...Breesus??
Final Score: New Orleans - 28 // Indianapolis - 42 Peyton bout to be Miami chillin, Super Bowl chillin.
It was actually a pretty exciting game. The only real ugly part of the game was the screen shot of Eli that I got afterwards. [Wow.] The prettiest thing was the DAM stadium. Holy shit. A record-setting 105,000+ people attended the regular-season home opener at the brand new Cowboys Stadium and they really got a show. Romo's lows and Eli's highs were the story of the game. Romo just looked uncomfortable the whole game. Even with 251 yards on the ground, Dallas had three picks and a fumble that resulted in 24 points for the G-Men and proved to be the deciding factor. The Player of the Game in my opinion had to be Mario Manningham who finished with 10 catches for 150 yards and a touchdown. [Plaxico who??] Who saw that shit coming?? Chad Henne maybe??? Anyway, great game from both sides but the Giants proved that they could win the tough one on the road. Can't say I expected anything else. Here's how it ended:

[Note: I started off watching the Dallas/New York game at the bar but watched the second half on my computer with NFL.com's new HD player. And the shit is DOPE. The video is clear as hell and it has four dope views. Peep the screenshot. Next time you can't get the game, check it out on your computer. Aughh.]
