I hate to sound incredibly cynical and not like the patriotic American I am, but the sight of that eagle being unmasked just to fly around, trapped inside a domed stadium at the end of the anthem just fell flat for me. I'm sure there is some great metaphor there.

Nope, couldn't do it (root for the jets), because at least in my Patriots book, Peyton + the Colts are by far and away the lesser of 2 evils to root for.

You don't ever root for a division rival.
Go Saints.

I'm torn now. Do I root for Peyton (for whom I respect in a way similar to Derek Jeter - HATE the team he plays on, but as a fan, have great admiration for his work effort, skills, and how he humbly handles himself) or get all caught up in the post Katrina New Orleans feel good story?????
uke:
normally I agree except for the fact that I don't really feel the Pats have had a division 'rival' in ten years.
The Colts and Steelers have been the bigger 'rivals' over that time frame.

Warp, that exact issue is what could make this one very entertaining SB to watch! I could go for something like a 41-38 game.

yeah probably come down to whoever has the ball last
Unless the Saints establish a solid running attack, they're going to get smoked. Freeny and Mathis are tough to stop. The Colts aren't a 'great' defensive team, but they do have two of the very best pass rushers in the league.

The thought of two dome teams playing a Super Bowl outside amuses me... I'd laugh my ass off if they have to play in some kind of weather (i.e. tropical downpour).
But in any event...
GEAUX SAINTS!

Yeah, but no self-respecting Masshole is ever going to root for a New York team.
I bet it was split 50/50 for yesterdays game. Even most of the WEEI hosts were pulling for the Jets. Most circumstances I completely agree, but the Colts are public enemy number 1 currently.
Twenty years from now when looking back on this era, the conversation will be who was better Brady/Pats or Manning/Colts. Hence, the homer in me wants to the Colts to lose always even against NY teams.

I'm in a wierd situation because I can agree with Geoff's point but after having lived in New Hampshire I moved here to NJ and was lucky enough to be invited to several Jet games. This was during a period when they were horrible but entertaining and I kind of evolved into a Jet fan. I still like and follow the Patriots because I liked living in New England more then I like the NY metropolitan area. I root for the Red Sox as well (hate the Yankees). The other team that I like in this area is the Devils. Some might consider them NY but I don't. Football is over for me and its on to Hockey hopefully till June.
