The best was when he shanked the kick against the Bucs. Payton said “Quit freaking sulking! Grow some nuts!”

Hungry, fired up Payton was the best Payton. 2009 was filled with funny Sean rages.

I do miss that CSP. he was a pretty awesome coach.

This here was the moment for me. Win or lose to finally be in that number…. I cried here. The win was just lagniappe for me. It was the moment of exhalation. The kick though…

Amen.

No other Saint moment was more important emotion-wise than that kick!

The huge emotional release of "Yes!! Finally." (Having followed the Saints since their inception.)

(I'm probably misremembering, but I felt the SB victory was gonna be a foregone conclusion...)

Here's the ending they cut off:

"Hartley was 9-11 in the regular season"

Man, that offense was deadly. Kicked 11 field goals all season?

I am terrible. I legitimately forgot Mark Brunell was the holder and was on this team.

Went to the Super Bowl and it wasn’t the feeling I had when that ball sailed through the uprights. I was drained and felt like I actually played in that game.

Amazing experience. Video from my seat.

I was there, in section 645

Easily the most intense game I’ve ever attended. It was like a four-hour heart attack — but we lived to tell about it!

Rewatched the game after seeing this post. If that game was played today... saints defense would have been called for 15 penalties for 150+ yards (they had 9 penalties for 88 yards in the game). I doubt today's NFL will allow the kind of hits the saints D put on Favre.
Vikings turnovers helped the saints stay in the game (5 TO vs 1 for saints). It is amazing the amount of penetration the vikings defense was able to get on the saints O-line. Their defense caused Brees to have a below average game. In terms of the game quality and intensity, this game was the real superbowl.

Who won

It was a different sport before c. 2011-12. Take a look at the Ravens' Super Bowl run from earlier that decade with Siragusa (RIP) lifting and body slamming QBs (twice) and seemingly intentionally driving his substantial body weight onto their throwing shoulders.
