Weekend Quick Hits

It's Super Bowl weekend and there are many story-lines to go along with the game. My favorites are obviously Colts related, as I did pick them as my pre-season SB champ. I just hope my pick beats Brad's, 'cause I'd never hear the end of that one! I'm just glad we're good enough to both have a horse in this race!

My quick hits for Super Bowl weekend:

First, we hear about the severity of the ankle injury to Colts Pro-Bowl DE Dwight Freeney and how he's rehabbing in an attempt to play. Teammates say Freeney has "Wolverine-like" healing abilities, but with a grade three sprain that includes a complete ligament tear, there's no telling how he will respond on game day.

Second, many people are picking the Saints to win, most counting Freeney and the Colts defense out. I don't understand that logic, but I do understand that the Saints prolific offense will be the best the Colts have seen all year. The same goes for the Saints, because MVP Peyton Manning is no slouch. I'm hoping the Colts can pull it off (and I expect them to).

Third, apparently the Colt-blue blood still runs through former coach Tony Dungy's veins. When discussing the Super Bowl match-up and the opinions of so many fans picking the Saints, Dungy picked his Colts in a blowout:

I'm excited to see if Dungy is right, but the Saints offense may be too high-powered to allow a blowout.

I'm sure we will debate the game on The Sports Blitz next Thursday, but I am anxious to hear your opinion.

So in the words of Tony Kornheiser, who ya got?
