9:00am – The Big Issue of the Day is….WHO DAT!  The Saints win the Super Bowl!  Or did they?  Burwell and Stelton argue that the Colts lost the game more than the Saints won it even though the boys from the bayou played well.

9:15am – How big a role did momentum play in the Super Bowl 44 and which play was the turning point of the game?  Burwell believes the Saints onside kick to open the second half is the one play that put New Orleans in the driver’s seat.  Stelton says it’s earlier in the game when the Saints put points on the board at the end of the first half despite a goal line stand by the Colts.

9:30am – Former Saints receiver Joe Horn lends his voice to the conversation.  Will the Saints be able to repeat?  What did he think was the most crucial play in the game for the Saints?  Does Joe believe he’ll receive a Super Bowl ring?  You can find out by clicking on the link below….

9:45am – How much of the Saints success can be attributed to playing with 12 men?  Bob and Bryan discuss how the Saints enjoyed somewhat of a home field advantage in the Super Bowl and how their fan base fed their momentum.

10:00am – Steve Wyche of NFL Network enters the fray.  What does Steve see as the play of the game?  How were the Saints able to overcome a 10-0 deficit to win the Super Bowl?  You can hear Steve’s opinion by clicking on the link below….

10:15am – Bob and Bryan discuss the Super Bowl half-time show and the commercials that hit the mark…and the ones that missed badly!

10:30am – Our friend Bob Glauber of New York Newsday and ESPN fame checks in for a few minutes.  How integral was Sean Payton’s coaching to the Saints victory?  How does the outcome of the game effect the perception of Drew Brees, Peyton Manning, and Colts coach Jim Caldwell?  You can find out by listening to the interview below…

10:45am – How does this loss alter Peyton Manning’s legacy?  He’s now 9-9 in playoff games.  Burwell and Stelton believe Peyton is still the best QB in the NFL despite the loss and that if he and Drew Brees had switched places that the Saints would still be marching in!

11:00am – How does the win change the perception of Drew Brees?  He’s won as many Super Bowls as Warner, Favre, and Peyton…and defeated all three in order to get his ring.  He also owns victories over Eli Manning and Tom Brady during the regular season.  Is he the best QB in the game?  Bob and Bryan think he’s close…top 3 even…but Peyton and Brady still lead the pack.

11:15am – How do the Saints compare to the Greatest Show on Turf?  Burwell and Stelton agree on this one…the 1999 Rams take it.

11:30am – How does this Super Bowl compare to others of recent vintage?  Not all that well, actually.  This game didn’t seem as intense as the Giants vs. Patriots and Steelers vs. Cardinals did the past few seasons.  The lack of big plays is probably a big reason why.  Sure, the onside kick and interception were huge but nothing electric really happened in between.  That half-time show was kind of a downer also.

11:45am – Burwell and Stelton review their Super Bowl picks.  Both lost.  Stelton finishes the season 5-2 while Burwell stumbles in at 3-4.  The guys also provide an Ounce of Truth.

We’ll see you tomorrow at our regular time 9am to 11am…don’t be late for class!
