SuperBowl Sunday Predictions

My predictions for this game are easy. I think the New Orleans Saints will come marching in on a wave of energy and make it an exciting game. The seasoned vets known as the Indianapolis Colts will regain the upper hand and gallop to the finish line. I love the Colts, and being that I am from Indianapolis, its a slightly biased prediction. I am proud of my boys in blue and no city deserves to be forgotten in this game.

I hope that we can remember that this is just a game and many things need to be done to bring our economies back and our vibrant cities. These two teams are perfect examples of that. Indianapolis is definitely a working class city in a state has been decimated by manufacturing jobs being lost. I am a testament to the brain drain of Indiana with great college educational institutions, but with limited jobs to keep natives in state. When you can boast about the likes of Purdue, Indiana Univ, and Notre Dame to just name a few, this state should be churning out companies, products and innovation. New Orleans and the lower ninth ward deserve not to be forgotten either. After suffering from a natural disaster that ravaged the coast, this city should a beacon for how we all need to rally around each other. A victory will be much needed for both cities and more importantly lets hope that we don't forget their stories when the game ends and a champion is crowned.
