The 2009 Saints found themselves in a unique position. Although they dominated the NFL for much of the season, much like the 2007 Patriots, they were still a very easy team to root for simply because the franchise as a whole has never bee all that great. There's a reason they used to be affectionately referred to as "The Aints". Couple that with the fact that New Orleans has grown so attached to it's team in the wake of things that the city has gone through, and it's no wonder why they were somewhat of a darling. The only story better than Brett Favre leading his former rival to the Super Bowl is the Saints finally making it after a history of being an underachieving franchise. For once, both #1 seeded teams will face off in the Super Bowl in a true test of might. I can't wait.
