Congrats to Who Dat nation on their win. I’m actually a cowboys fan but I am happy the saints won. Watching the people of New Orleans celebrate brought a big smile to my face that city deserves this and I hope they enjoy it

THE AMERICAN POPULATION is estimate to be 304,059,724 - Jul 2008.
this event was all about bringing communities around the us together. and im glad people take notice of what New Orleans went throught, sure this cant help the lost ones of kathrina but surely this was a sign of victory and remembrance.
Too bad the color commentary sucked. Jim Nance and Phil Simms were too beige to give commentary. It was like they were calling a chess match.
Holy cow that’s almost 1/3 of America watching.
great game!!! 3/20 of us were going for the Saints and when they won………..woot!
both team, Especially Indianapolis Colts had great sportmanship attitude coming In to this game. This truly was incredible to watch.
Congrats Saints.
I believe it; this year was one of the best games I’ve seen!
Geaux Saints!! ^_^
I was there. Hottest place to be. That was a good game. I thought Colts was going home with it but I was surprise with the Saints come back.
@Nice:
I totally agree. Phil Simms had to eat his words so often during the match. I turned down the volume to escape the commentary.
@pump it:
It’s only for US audience. The most watched game ever (as said) is usually the World Cup Final, that averages about 1 billion viewers.
According to reported ratings (I believe that the NYT reported it), the 2006 Germany World Cup averaged about 450 million viewers per game (excluding major matches, like semi and final games). Not even close.
New Orleans rocks!
it was a great game
i thought the colts had it at 1st but the saints played a hell of a game
congrats 2 the saints
