When the Saints Go Marching In

Congratulations are in order this morning for the New Orleans Saints in wake of their upset win in the Super Bowl over Peyton Manning's Indianapolis Colts. If ever a city deserves such a treat, it's the Big Easy.

Mr. Manning himself merits praise for his courteous deference to the Saints in his post game comments. If more football players were as gracious and unassuming as he is, the game itself would profit. It is the class acts which make sports palatable, not the self-aggrandizing oafs signaling first down on meaningless plays in meaningless games.

And what is talk about the big game without reference to the commercials? It seems that the pro-abortion folks are in a bit of a tiff about Tim Tebow 'tackling' his mother in the Focus on the Family ad. It encourages violence against women, apparently. But do they think Betty White and Abe Vigoda being tackled encourages violence against seniors? It shows the shallowness of their thought when that's the best retort they have to an honest and heartfelt pro-life moment.

As Super Bowls go, yesterday's was a good one. Surely, from a dramatic perspective, the right team won.
