Much is already being made out of the Drew Brees vs. Peyton Manning showdown. You'd think there's 2 players playing instead of 106. The hype is fair, though, since Brees and Manning are arguably the two best at their position and they're so critical to their respective team's success.
The Saints landed in Miami today and held their first practice on the SuperBowl site today. The biggest news to emerge so far is the injury to Dwight Freeney, publicly disclosed as a torn ligament in his right ankle. He's officially listed as questionable, though his playing given the injury is in serious question. Should he play, it has to be assumed his performance will be seriously affected. This of course bodes well for the Saints. 6 days and counting...
