Who Dat? Super Bowl champs! Saints rally to beat Colts
Football Betting Lines
02/07/2010 -
Miami, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Who Dat? Those are the Super Bowl champions -
the New Orleans Saints - for the first time in the history of a franchise and
city that has witnessed its share of tough times.
Drew Brees connected with Jeremy Shockey for the go-ahead two-yard touchdown
pass with 5:42 left in the fourth quarter, lifting the Saints to a 31-17 win
over the Indianapolis Colts in Super Bowl XLIV.
Tracy Porter then sealed the fate of the Colts, picking off four-time MVP
Peyton Manning and returning the ball 74 yards for a touchdown with 3:12 left,
thwarting Indianapolis' chance for a second title in four years.
A team that went through several years of seeing fans hold paper bags over
their heads due to losing seasons, the Saints finally rewarded the Crescent
City with a championship. It was more than a healing process, it was
the feel-good story building over a period of several years since the
devastation left behind by Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
The Saints rallied from a 10-0 deficit behind a sparkling performance from
Brees, who tied a Super Bowl record with 32 completions, going 32-of-39 for
288 yards and a pair of scores. The Saints outscored the Colts, 15-0, in the
last quarter.
Manning finished 31-of-45 for 333 yards with a TD and the costly interception.

El Duque expected to throw Tuesday
PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- New York Mets pitcher Orlando Hernandez, sidelined at spring training because of arthritis in his neck, is expected to resume throwing on Tuesday.
Hernandez received a cortisone shot Thursday after leaving camp and returning to New York to have his neck examined. The 41-year-old right-hander is penciled in as the team's No. 2 starter behind Tom Glavine.
El Duque's health is a major issue for the Mets, who won the NL East in 2007 and came within one victory of the World Series. Their aging and unsettled rotation is a big question mark this year.
MySportsbook.com has the Mets as -110 favorites to repeat as NL East champions odds.
Hernandez went 11-11 with a 4.66 ERA last season, including 9-7 with a 4.09 ERA in 20 starts after the Mets acquired him from Arizona in late May. But he missed the playoffs because of a torn calf muscle.
New York already is without Pedro Martinez, out until at least midseason following rotator cuff surgery. Among those competing for starting jobs are prospects Mike Pelfrey, Philip Humber and Jason Vargas, plus veterans Chan Ho Park, Jorge Sosa and Aaron Sele.
Notes: Mets manager Willie Randolph is excited about two new utility players he could have on his bench: Damion Easley and David Newhan. ''Their value is really all over the place,'' Randolph said. Easley can play anywhere in the infield and could be used as an emergency outfielder, though Randolph said he would prefer to keep the veteran in the infield. Newhan, meanwhile, can play second base, third or any outfield position for the Mets. ''I love versatility,'' Randolph said. ''I love guys that can give me options when I need them to step in.''
