After 42 years, the Saints have finally earned their spot as the NFC Champs in the Super Bowl. I can't go against my home team, so I go with the Saints.

I like to pull a Lost and say that time has course corrected. Three years ago, the Saints were one game away from playing in the Super Bowl against the Colts in Miami. This year, they finally made it against the Colts and in Miami. I'm hoping for one heck of a game. WHO DAT!

That poll almost needs a 3rd option of "Too tough to call". It was a hell of a game tonight between the Saints and the Vikes. If only Favre had held on to the ball and scrambled at the end of the 4th instead of tossing that interception.

Manning is experienced and Brees has a ton of momentum on his side. Personally, I hope the Saints win. But I'm a fan of Manning as well, so a part of me would be happy to see him win it as well.

**** the Saints. :angry: Made Favre lose today and maybe lose his last chance to get to the Super Bowl.

Go colts!

Favre lost on his own today with that boneheaded move in the fourth. 10-15 yards of open field and he threw????

Vikings dominated in yardage, Saints got lucky. Colts will win come the super bowl.

It was a poor call on his part, but it's not his fault he was in that position to begin with. His team was complete trash when it came to holding onto the ball.

That's for sure. Six fumbles (three lost) and two interceptions. The Saints are very fortunate to have come away with the win after only converting 3 of 11 third downs (a pathetic statistic even for a poor offense, much less the #1 offense in the league, something I couldn't stop yelling about all night). There were some terrible penalties called against the Saints too that didn't help, and I'm not so sure the pass interference call in OT was right, but it is what it is, you can't hang onto those unfortunate calls.

In case you didn't notice, he was nursing his leg. Asking him to run the ball is the last thing you want when he is already bruised up.

I still think that the pass interference call at the end was BS as the ball was really over thrown, but oh well. I agree with the pre-game people. Whoever the Colts would have played, they would/will win.

Yeah...he was going to run when he was hurt and **** himself up more before the SB.

We didn't hold the football good. :no: WAY to many fumbles. If it were not for those we had the game.

I voted for a Colts win and a Vikings win today. Unfortunately, the Vikings were their own enemy. There was no excuse for those fumbles. Adrian Peterson was a bit too eager to run with the ball. He may be a very strong, fast, and talented running back but he has some maturing to do. I feel bad that Favre is going out like this. He played his heart out, through an injury and exhaustion. He did throw interceptions, but when you are getting knocked down every single play and have little to no pass protection, you would be mistake prone as well. Anyways, I do not have anything against the Saints and totally hope they beat the Colts.

It will be a good game. Go Saints!

I actually didn't notice that. I literally caught the last few minutes of the game as I got home. After reading how many turnovers and how many missed chances the Vikings had, yes, Favre was not completely to blame. However, if he were already bruised up, what was one more bruise to gain five yards? He would have had two weeks to nurse said bruises anyways. Either way you look at it, the Saints were handed the game many times over.

His final interception may have been the nail in his career....

...unless of course, he pulls another Randy Couture and returns yet again (which will probably happen).

The Colts are going to do it again for sure.. Peyton Manning will bring his 'A-Game' and there will be no stopping them once the rhythm is set into motion. I just hope it won't be a huge blow-out since it's the Super Bowl ..

Apparently Favre continued playing despite a suspected broken ankle. That probably explains why he threw rather than scrambling for the extra yards to secure field goal position. However, it doesn't explain why he threw back across his body into the middle of the field amongst all of those bodies. Rookie mistake from an absolute legend.

I'll take the Colts, purely because Manning has done this all before. It'll be a great game either way.

    • Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion gives the Slayer a brutal Chain Spear by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Last year, id Software released Doom: The Dark Ages as a prequel to its reboot series, offering a look at the legendary Slayer character during an ancient war between Hell and Heaven. Today, at the Xbox Games Showcase, id Software returned with a new announcement that unveiled Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations as its first story expansion. The expansion will see the Slayer being betrayed and cast into a "merciless purgatory only escapable by confronting haunting truths." Somehow, there is one ally in all this chaos seemingly attempting to help our protagonist escape his fate. Players will be ascending this prison and fighting plenty of new demons and abominations as they work to free the Slayer's followers. One new aspect of the expansion will be the Chain Spear. This new weapon is described by the studio as a "uniquely satisfying combat system that rewards mastery with a potent combination of power and mobility." Check out the trailer below to see the new weapon in action, where the Slayer is seen using it to even pin enemies to walls. id Software is also preparing a free update to all owners of Doom: The Dark Ages that will land alongside the new paid expansion. Dubbed the Ripatorium 3.0 update, this will add more customization options, an improved pass code generation system, and preset options for players diving into the game's arena challenge mode. Expansion buyers will also receive additional maps, demons, and new weapons to use in this mode in addition to the story levels. Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion is out on July 7 across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $19.99 price tag. Those who own the Premium Edition or the Collector's Bundle will receive the expansion for no extra cost as well.
    • Hyped for this. Replayed the remasters recently and they're so well done, and Crash 4 was great too. I trust this team to deliver.
    • Ninja Theory's new Hellblade game is action-focused and set in Purgatory by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Ninja Thery has been building its award-winning Hellblade series since 2017, delivering Senua's Sacrifice and Senua's Saga since then. Today at the 2026 Xbox Games Showcase, the studio had a brand-new installment announcement featuring Senua again, but this time, she is in a version of purgatory, and the focus is on the action. Simply named Senua, this new entry is described as a "full-on action-adventure" experience, delivering an expanded focus on combat, puzzle-solving, and freedom of exploration. The developer says that it is keeping the same high production values and storytelling features of the previous games while giving what players have been asking for in the gameplay department. The entirety of Ninja Theory is now working on Senua, giving the project much more manpower than ever before, while also letting the team draw on its action roots from Devil May Cry and prior titles. However, the studio also confirmed that its previously announced Project Mara horror experience is no longer in development. Alongside snappier traversal moves, Senua will be able to take stealth and direct combat routes. She has access to her own sword, plus any enemy weapons as well, with dual wielding also being an option for most dropped melee swords, axes, and other weapons. Outside of melee combat, Senua will be able to use special abilities that let her alter the reality around her. The world is said to be about twice the size of Hellblade 2. While this won't be an open-world experience, the linear story will let players explore their surroundings further than before. The story of Senua will be set after the events of previous Hellblade titles, with our protagonist being stuck in her own version of Purgatory. The series' well-explored psychosis themes will return as well. "She’s trapped between life and death on a quest to reach the afterlife and be reunited with the ones that she’s loved and lost," adds the studio. "Her belief is that by healing the wounds of her life, she can find the peace that is the key that unlocks the gate to the afterlife." Senua is releasing on Xbox Series X|S, PC, and PlayStation 5 sometime in 2027.
    • Windows has had it, it's called camera frame server. I recall when it was first introduced in an early Windows 10 release it caused issues and there was a registry entry to disable it. Seems like they disabled it by default at some point. Windows 11 brought that toggle to the settings app (not just registry) a while ago.
