You look at the overall numbers, and there’s no way the Saints should have won the game, but they did. And yes, agreed, I’ll sure take two weeks of New Orleans stories over two weeks of vomiting seeing Jared Allen and Favre interviews. All of Joe Buck’s slobbering about Favre was about what I expected, though I really thought Fox could have done more to give us an additional 10-15 camera shots of Deanna Favre’s reactions in the stands. I think that would have really made the broadcast a lot better. I also stayed up for hours watching the postgame, anxiously awaiting Deanna to take the podium to offer her views on what her husband had done on that fateful pick, but sadly, she was nowhere to be found.

Last, I heard one of the most confusing and ridiculous interviews this morning from Dan Pompei, who is outraged at the “unfair” coin flip and set of rules overall for overtime games. Dan was upset that the queens didn’t get a “fair” chance to win because they lost the flip. I think it’s a prerequisite that Tribune football columnists whine about something every couple of weeks. But whining about overtime playoff rules that are “unfair” to the queens? Come one, give us a break.
