SUPER BOWL STUNNER: Saints Beat Colts
The New Orleans Saints upset the Indiana Colts 31-17 to take their first Super Bowl victory, providing a spiritual lift to the city still recovering from the devastating effects of Hurricane Katrina.
The Colts' Payton Manning may have received the most pre-game hype, but in the end it was Saints quarterback Drew Brees who was named the game's most-valuable player. He tied a Super Bowl record with 32 completions, including a two-yarder to Jeremy Shockey with five-minutes-and-42-seconds remaining for the winning touchdown.
The Colts led at halftime, but New Orleans came out of the locker room with an onside kick touched by the Colts' Hank Baskett and recovered by the Saints Chris Reis, which ultimately led to a Saints touchdown.
The Saints' victory was sealed when Tracy Porter intercepted a Manning pass in the fourth quarter and ran it 74 yards into the end zone in a play that recalled Porter's pickoff of Brett Favre's pass in the N-F-C championship contest.

The New Orleans Saints may have won the Super Bowl, but which advertisers got the most bang for their Super Bowl ad bucks is still up for debate.

A BRIDGE TOO FAR?
A Los Angeles, California, man has come under fire from his neighbors after he constructed a private bridge that connects his living room to the road outside of his house.
The reason for the private bridge?Holger Schubert likes to park his 1984 Ferrari in his living room.Initially the city approved the bridge building, but recent complaints have caused them to revoke Schubert's permit.
If the 43-year-old's attempts at re-gaining the zoning rights fail he'll be forced to tear down the 10-foot bridge.Schubert believes that the neighbors were complaining because the building process took roughly five years.
