WHO DAT?!

As I sat in my Darrelle Revis jersey watching Sundays Super Bowl (New Orleans Saints vs. Indianapolis Cols), I couldn't decide which team to root for, at first. Did I support the Colts and their classy quarterback Peyton Manning? Well, no, I was still somewhat mad for them beating the New York Jets. Did I root for the Saints? They didn't ruin the Jets Super Bowl hopes, so that seemed like a logical stance. Not to mention, who doesn't want the underdog to win (an underdog that was going for its FIRST Super Bowl win ever)?

Don't get me wrong here, I still thought the Colts would win. Both teams looked strong in the first half; the Colts had come out on top 10-6 before halftime, and they were the receiving team starting off the second half.

But then, something that will live on forever in Super Bowl history, happened. The Saints coach Sean Payton called on his team to start off the second half with an onside kick. CBS's announcers started screaming. I started screaming. People overall were in shock, seeing that no team had ever gone through with an onside kick in the Super Bowl before the 4th quarter. That play, though, turned the entire game around when the referees whistled and motioned that the Saints had recovered the ball.

In the end, the Saints wound up winning their first Super Bowl ever by a score of 31-17, with more than 106 million people watching their triumph (for all of you out there who are adequate when it comes to TV knowledge, the number of viewers for Super Bowl 44 surpassed the amount of viewers that watched 'M*A*S*H's finale).

Now, for all of you who could have cared less about the game, here are some of the best commercials of the night, for your viewing pleasure.
