What will the Super Bowl bring to the table this year?
By Wren Culp Staff Writer Video by Corban Rubinson with KCBY The Colts and the Saints battle it out on February 7th to see who will become the champion of the NFL. For Peyton Manning, playing the team that his father tried so hard to turn around will be a little interesting. Manning grew up in the city of New Orleans, watching his dad try to turn the worst team in the league around. The matchup will be interesting to watch, especially considering that Manning and Brees are connected friends.

The question is no longer up for debate
It’s undeniable. We cannot debate it any longer. And on Sunday night we got the defining reason on why the Indianapolis Colts are the best football team in the league right now. This season the argument has come down between two teams, the Colts and the Saints. Let’s look at how each team did in week 10. The Saints traveled to St. Louis to battle the Rams in what seemed to be another easy victory for the unbeaten team. New Orleans quarterback Drew Brees was 18-for-26 for 223 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions. Not horrible but certainly not where he should be at the moment. The 9-0 Colts stayed at home to take on…
