Colts Win! Colts Win!
Written by Chriso, Tuesday February 09 2010
At least, that's what Monday morning's Virginian Pilot said, and my newspaper would never lie to me.
So the Virginian Pilot came out with the headline Colts 31, Saints 17. Now the Super Bowl was the most watched event in TV history, breaking the 1983 record set by the series final for M*A*S*H. Apparently the proofreader was not among the record setting audience. One comment was "Who dat proofreading your newspaper?"
In Norfolk, ESPN Radio's Tony Mercurio suggested it might have been a publicity stunt. But is this good publicity? And why have copies of the paper disappeared from the internet? I thought they would be all over E-Bay by now. Comparisons have been made to "Dewey defeats Truman." But it seems that Dewey almost did defeat Truman. And it is not 1948.
Besides, who gets their sports news from the newspaper anymore. I get my news from the internet. I mean the internet would never lie to me.
Of course, we know the Colts did not win. One of the biggest fans of the Colts, Indiana native David Letterman already was upset about his super bowl party, in a very good promo with Jay Leno. Leno commented on it :

Letterman listed the top 10 reasons the Colts lost on his late night show...
10. Should have waited until after the game to eat wings and drink beer.
9. Relax, it's the best of seven.
8. Wanted to get home for Undercover Boss.
7. Parking at victory parades is such a hassle.
6. Too much pregame partying with Snooki and J-Woww.
5. Saints players were shoving us.
4. Because of cutbacks, we only brought 12 guys.
3. Oblong shape of ball made it quite unwieldy.
2. Right, like God is going to let a team called the Saints lose.
1. Peyton [Manning] left early to tape a Gatorade commercial.
