Super Bowl XLI - Patriots vs. Saints

You read it here first. The Super Bowl teams will be the New England Patriots and the New Orleans Saints. The Saints will win, but not because they are the better team.

Just like the Patriots won the Super Bowl after 9/11 and boosted American morale after the first attack on their soil since Pearl Harbour, and the first winner of Survivor was named Richard, who Jeff Probst called "Rich" for the first time in the season finale so it would sound better "The winner of Survivor is Rich", the New Orleans Saints will win the Super Bowl to restore pride in the city after Katrina. I know this isn't the first Super Bowl after Katrina, but it's the first one with the Saints in the Superdome since Katrina.

What with U2 and Green Day selling (out) a single of their song The Saints Are Coming at the Saints' home opener at the start of this season, and a legitimate chance at winning the Super Bowl thanks to Reggie Bush and Drew Brees (to name but two players who have got them to where they are) it's too good of a feel-good story for the Men Who Control Media to pass up. Also, the U2/Green Day song will sell even more copies. I wonder what MWCM had to give Bono for U2 to make that song? Maybe MWCM had to live up to the promises they made to Bono while on the campaign trail regarding foreign aid? But that's another story.

Final Score: Saints 28, Patriots 24. I would say the Saints will win it in a last-minute touchdown, similar to how the Patriots have won two of their Super Bowls.

That is my conspiracy theorist speaking. My Pats fan in me says Patriots 27, Saints 17. Let's watch and see...
