Super Bowl New Orleans Saints Vs. Indianapolis Colts Predictions
There are three things a team and its fans must do to ensure a successful Super Bowl Sunday: win the passing battle, win the turnover battle and, naturally, win the tailgate battle.
It looks like one team is poised to do all three on Sunday. It starts, as every NFL game does, with the respective quarterbacks.
Drew Brees vs. The Chosen One
Super Bowl 2010
Over at Cold, Hard Football Facts, we dubbed Peyton Manning "The Chosen One" because of his unmatched pedigree. You know the family story. Don't need to rehash it here. Three Legends of the South. First Family of Football, blah, blah blah. You also know that Peyton's the most prolific of the bunch, a record-setting quarterback in both college and the NFL destined for the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
He's great. One of the best ever. We don't doubt that.
But with pedigree comes the benefit of the doubt. All else being equal, the pedigree tips the scales in the court of public opinion. Pedigree is why a yuppie tool such as Chip Diller ends up in the Omega House while Flounder is relegated to the Delta House. Pedigree is why Kennedys win elections despite behavior that would destroy a lesser name.
Pedigree also is why certain quarterbacks repeatedly win NFL MVP awards under unusual circumstances.
Manning won MVP honors for a record-setting fourth time in 2009. But we're still trying to figure out why. Great season, yes. Gutted out some great wins, yes. The Colts are in the Super Bowl, yes.
But back in 2003 and 2004, Indy's quarterback was handed the award because he put up big numbers playing for teams that won despite bad defenses.
Remember that old argument? Numbers trump victories, declared MVP voters and Colts fans.
Then in 2008 and 2009, voters changed the argument to satisfy their love affair with the pigskin pedigree of the Chosen One: Manning won the award both years, despite the fact that his teams possessed strong defenses and despite the fact that several other quarterbacks each year put up better numbers, in some cases much better.

Tim McGraw's Southern Voice meaning?
The main lines say: "Smooth as the hickory wind that blows from Memphis down to Apalachicola".
Does this have any connection to former President General Andrew Jackson, who was nicknamed "Old Hickory"? Towards the end of the War of 1812, he brought his troops down from Tennessee to defend New Orleans in the Battle of New Orleans. He also fought to defend parts of North Florida, Apalachicola...
Am i onto anything here? Do these lyrics have any reference to the very popular American victory at the Battle of New Orleans?? or am i thinking too much
