New Years again. Christmas is over. Carnival starts soon. Mayoral elections are scheduled to conflict with the Super Bowl.

The Saints 13-3 record earned the #1 seed and a first round bye plus home field advantage.

After a thumping of the Cards and a war with Minnesota, pigs can fly and hell has apparently frozen over because the Saints are going to the Super Bowl in February. They had to beat Kurt Warner to the ground and Brett Favre nearly to a pulp to win the NFC, so they did. Payton Manning now stands in their way.
