Super Bowl Bound

The NFL playoffs are coming to an end with the Super Bowl now only two weeks away and both contenders have been announced. The Indianapolis Colts, my favorite team, and the New Orleans Saints, for the first time in the franchise’s forty year existence will meet in Miami, Florida for Super Bowl XLIV. This match up has more of a story line than just the winningest dynasty of all time against the Super Bowl virgin. Peyton Manning is the quarterback of the Indianapolis Colts and has been poised as one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time and his father Archie Manning lead the New Orleans Saints to many wins as quarterback when Peyton was a kid. Peyton grew up with the Saints and they are his hometown team, now he returns to the place of his first and so far only Super Bowl win to face the team he cheered on as a child. Miami itself is also a historic place when it comes to Colts history. This will be the Colts fourth Super Bowl appearance in franchise history, twice as the Baltimore Colts and twice as the Indianapolis Colts, all taking place in Miami. So this years Super Bowl seems to be building up to what is hopefully is an exciting Super Bowl matchup.
