United States
Watch Indianapolis Colts vs New Orleans Saints Live NFL

Super Bowl XLIV will be an American football game pitting the American Football Conference (AFC) champion Indianapolis Colts against the National Football Conference (NFC) champion New Orleans Saints to decide the National Football League (NFL) champion for the 2009 season. It will be the 40th annual championship game of the modern-era National Football League after its 1970 merger with the American Football League (AFL, 1960–1969). It will be the first time since Super Bowl XXVIII that both number one seeds will face each other in the Super Bowl. It also marks the first time that two teams who play in an indoor stadium will play each other in a Super Bowl.

The game will be played at Sun Life Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida. This marks the tenth time a Super Bowl will have been played in the South Florida metropolitan area: five times the game has been held at Sun Life Stadium; the other five were played at the Orange Bowl.

Sometime around 10 o’clock tonight the battle of quarterbacks will be decided in Miami. That’s what the Super Bowl has become, a tournament of quarterbacks. Last year it was decided in the final minute by a touchdown pass thrown by Pittsburgh’s Ben Roethlisberger to close out Arizona and Kurt Warner.

I suspect Super Bowl XLIV, since we are now deep into the NFL culture as a passing league, will give us a bombastic show of air power with the two survivors of a slam-bang season, New Orleans’ Drew Brees and Indianapolis’ Peyton Manning, dueling to the end.

It’s only fitting that the two most prolific gunslingers of the 2009 season should sort it out at the end. Overall it’s been a long time since so many Hall of Fame quarterbacks-to-be have graced the NFL stage.

I was a Hall of Fame elector for years, so I know that rarely is there such a thing as a slam-dunk candidate. Yet there have been so many great quarterbacks monopolizing the stage in the last decade that by the time they all are eligible for the Hall there may not be much room for stars at other positions. Two of them, Kurt Warner and Brett Favre, may have their five-year eligibility clocks ticking already, although you never know about Favre.

Manning is a bona fide slam dunk. His election will make up for the exclusion of his father, Archie, a Hall-caliber quarterback who lingered in football jail as a Saint, a team that did not have a winning season in its first 20 years. There was no free agency in the NFL then; that would have provided an escape hatch.

Tom Brady is probably in a similar category as Peyton. Roethlisberger and Brees are works in deep progress.

As Indianapolis worked its way toward an undefeated season, Manning began to receive praise beyond his obvious Hall of Fame credentials. When it became clear the Colts’ lineup was not brimming with major talent in several areas, that their AFC championship was pretty much due to Peyton’s greatness, people who watch pro football for a living started saying and writing “He’s the greatest quarterback of all time.”

Manning turns 34 next month. If he can avoid injuries and the NFL doesn’t lose a season in the projected lockout for 2011, and he plays three or four more seasons, he could compile a case that he is the best of all time.

Meanwhile, I suggest those who make that claim for him now do some research on Otto Graham. Graham was the Cleveland Browns’ quarterback from 1946, when he was mustered out of the Navy, through 1955. In those years the Browns won their conference championship every season, four league championships in the All-America Conference and three NFL titles. When they entered the NFL in 1950, they were scheduled against the league’s defending champion, Philadelphia, whom they drubbed, 35-10. In their first NFL title game they defeated the Los Angeles Rams. In his final two seasons Graham quarterbacked the Browns to league championships, 56-10 over Detroit and 38-14 over the Rams.

In their first season without the retired Graham, 1956, the Browns finished fifth, winning just five games and losing seven. As Manning will discover once again this evening, it’s all about winning.

This Super Bowl weekend, whether you are rooting for the New Orleans Saints or that other team, there is a dog pile of apps to enhance the game, although I will acknowledge not as many as I would like for some handsets.

The Super Bowl app yardage leader is the iPhone. The iTunes app store offers the official NFL Superbowl Program, formatted for your phone, for $4.99. There is a $1.99 Saints-focused WhoDatApp, which has a roster and player data, Twitter updates from Saints players (I wouldn’t count on a lot of Tweets during a game), and an archive of Bobby and Deke sports talk radio shows, although you need a Wi-Fi connection for audio.

There is an Indianapolis-specific app for $1.99, with a schedule, roster and statistics. The free ESPN ScoreCenter app also offers game statistics as well as scoring alerts, just in case you are momentarily distracted by the barbecue. If you need to get out of the house, the free Fan Finder app will help pinpoint sports bars near you.

The Android market is a little skimpy. There are some all-news apps, some fantasy football apps, but I found just one specific Super Bowl app. Tt is the $1.39 Cajun Super Bowl language quiz, which lets you look up words you might hear from fans cheering the Saints in a N’awlins patois.

The BlackBerry market is equally thin, with no specific Super Bowl apps that I could see. The best I could do was to find team themes for your phone at $5.99 each. Oddly, the description of the Saints theme pack cites the helmet’s “lucky blue horseshoe.”

LeBeau, 72, the oldest player selected, has one of the more intriguing story lines. His career began in 1959, before the establishment of the American Football League and almost a decade before the first Super Bowl.

In 14 seasons with the Lions, LeBeau intercepted 62 passes, third on the career list among cornerbacks.

Although LeBeau’s election is officially based on his playing career and not his coaching, he has maintained widespread visibility as a successful defensive coordinator for the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Among the innovations LeBeau perfected as a coach was the zone blitz, which confuses blockers by rushing some players, like linebackers, while dropping others, like linemen, unexpectedly into pass coverage.

As a young player, LeBeau was vividly sketched in “Paper Lion,” George Plimpton’s 1966 book about training camp with the Lions in 1963. Plimpton portrayed him as a musical man, strumming a guitar in the dormitory.

The other three inducted among the modern-era finalists were Russ Grimm, part of the Washington Redskins’ offensive line of the 1980s that was known as the Hogs; Rickey Jackson, a linebacker primarily with the New Orleans Saints who played 15 seasons in the N.F.L.; and John Randle, a defensive end who spent most of his 14-year career with the Minnesota Vikings.

Also inducted were two senior nominees, Floyd Little, a running back who played nine seasons for the Denver Broncos, and Dick LeBeau, a cornerback with the Detroit Lions.

The union requested the meeting before the full owners meeting. Such owners meetings just before the Super Bowl are highly unusual, but the N.F.L. is one year from a possible work stoppage.

The negotiating session probably had a very different dynamic than previous ones because owners and players rarely attend sessions in great numbers, leaving the early stage of negotiations to lawyers. Among the players present was Kevin Mawae, the union president.

At a news conference Thursday, Smith said he thought the chances of a lockout were a 14 on a scale of 1 to 10. A day later, Goodell sounded more hopeful that a deal would be completed within the year. But three weeks ago the Giants co-owner John Mara said that there had been no progress in negotiations and that he was resigned to an uncapped season.
