In much of the United States, hell has frozen over, and in Miami, the New Orleans Saints have won the Super Bowl.

I have to take back some of what I said two weeks ago in the wake of the Saints’ defeat of the Vikings. New Orleans had 60 minutes to abuse Peyton Manning in the manner they abused Brett Favre in the NFC championship, but Mr. Manning escaped relatively unscathed, if not victorious. The Vikings–and particularly Mr. Favre–need some help up front.

One thing is certain: the New Orleans Saints are the NFL champions. Who dat?!
