Before we turn our full attention to the combine, free agency and the draft, I wanted to take a few minutes to reflect on Super Bowl XLIV before we plunge full on into the 2010 offseason.

Former Colts coach Tony Dungy said last week that he would be shocked if Indianapolis lost Super Bowl XLIV. He sure sounded shocked Monday.

These Saints do know how to celebrate. Reggie Bush was in the thick of it, celebrating with Saints fans in the stands.

The improbable just happened: Peyton Manning threw an interception at the worst possible time in Super Bowl XLIV, ending what was looking like a game-tying drive for the Colts late in the fourth quarter.

The Saints, who continue their pursuit of perfection, listed seven players as questionable for Saturday night’s game against the Cowboys.

The Saints high-powered offense will be without one of its key playmakers in Monday night’s game against the Patriots, as RB Reggie Bush was listed as inactive for the game. Bush has been battling a knee injury that limited his practice time during the week.

New Orleans has some concerns in its secondary, specifically on the outside, heading into the big Monday night showdown against the Patritos.

The New Orleans Saints are hopeful the hamstring injury suffered by CB Randall Gay in Sunday’s 38-7 win over the Bucs is not severe.

New Orleans has signed cornerback Chris McAlister, a former Pro Bowler with Baltimore, with CB Tracy Porter out four to six weeks with an MCL injury, according to a league source.

Saints coach Sean Payton said Monday CB Tracy Porter has a sprained medial collateral ligament in his left knee, but is expected back this season.

A number of notable players, including Brian Westbrook, Ronnie Brown, Kyle Orton and Michael Turner, sustained injuries in Week 11.
