Super Bowl
DOUG JOHNSON:
Last week we answered a listener question about Americans' favorite winter sport to watch. Experts say American professional football is most popular. Sunday is the most important day for football fans. The National Football League holds its championship game.
The New Orleans Saints from Louisiana will play the Indianapolis Colts from Indiana in Super Bowl Forty-Four. They will play at Sun Life Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida. This is the home stadium of the Miami Dolphins.
New Orleans Saints players exercising Thursday in FloridaGregg Easterbrook writes a weekly piece called "Tuesday Morning Quarterback" for E.S.P.N.com. He expects this Super Bowl to be an especially exciting one. He notes the very different styles of the competing teams. He writes that the Colts are very careful, well organized and predictable players. But, New Orleans, he writes, is like "watching an outdoor cocktail party play football." The team is wild, fun and loves to use trick plays.
The Super Bowl is historic for the New Orleans Saints. The team was established in nineteen sixty-seven. But it has never made it to the championship game until now. It has come close several times. In two thousand six, the year after Hurricane Katrina, the Saints returned to play at the repaired Superdome in New Orleans. The team performed well all season and came within one game of Super Bowl competition. This year, Saints fans are especially excited to see their team playing in the Super Bowl. Their city is still recovering from the hurricane.
