ESPN.com put it best, “Who Dat in the Super Bowl?”.
Believe it or not, the New Orleans Saints are in the Super Bowl. Oddly enough, they’re facing New Orleanians QB Peyton Manning & WR Reggie Wayne. Many believed the Saints would never make it to the big game. In fact, WWL’s sports legend, Jim Henderson, called [...]
