Super Bowl Prediction for XLIV 44: Colts vs Saints

Peyton Manning (the greatest QB in history? so says SN provided one more ring, read it here) and the Indianapolis Colts take on the New Orleans Saints. Our computer says Saints by a fraction of a point. Vegas takes the Colts by about 4 1/2 or 5. Then our complete analysis with tons of statistics and charts says Colts win by about 10.

Denver Broncos 'Throw Them Back' Uniforms

Sadly, it was almost enough reason to justify flipping channels and watching just about anything else. Really, what is the point of the throwback uniform? Are fans supposed to buy them, thereby boosting sales, because people want to own different colored jerseys of their favorite team? The New England Patriots at Denver Broncos game brought throwback to a whole new level of stupidity-- with the multi-striped "jaundiced zebra" pants/sock stirrups?. But anyways, it may have worked by way of yet another win for the now 5-0 Broncos.

Meet Ray Lewis. Game Over.

Before we go off singing praises about how good a defensive football player Ray Lewis is, let's at least recall he was once charged with murder (recap and bio here). He was, of course, acquitted which is why he is back out playing football like he always has.

This past Sunday, at age 34, and with the clock winding down on the road at San Diego, the Chargers were closing in on the winning score but needed to clear a 4th and two. Enter Ray Lewis.



Wow. Out of all the defensive plays you will ever see in the NFL this one brought a game abruptly to a close. Game over.

It is the perfect highlight to sum up the unbelievably talented career of one of the NFL's best defensive players of all-time, the Baltimore Ravens #52. He has played with one NFL team his entire career. The Ravens won Super Bowl 35 and Lewis was named MVP. He is a 10-time Pro Bowl selection (every NFL season that he has started at least 14 games) including 1997 (his 2nd year in the NFL) and the last 3 seasons. He was picked #26 in the 1996 NFL Draft out of the University of Miami. Career stats here.
