The Colts versus the Saints - at least I think it's the Saints. I know the ex-Baltimore Colts are playing New Orleans.
I'm rooting for the underdog, but hear from football fanatics that the game is likely to go to the Colts. "Better team." "More seasoned." "They've played and won against better teams than New Orleans."
This may be so: my knowledge about football could fill, at best, the cliched thimble.
My interest in the game is in support of the Big Easy. The city can use the win, literally and metaphorically.
Our focus is on Haiti, because of the horrendous catastrophe there. And yet we still have people who are homeless due to Katrina. The hurricane has had profound impact on 'Lu-zee-anna' and New Orleans itself will never be the same.
So, yes: Go Saints (just checked for the correct name. Got it right!)
