Super Bowl report
Catholic saints boost
Sports correspondent
Divine powers certainly seemed to be at work in the NFC championship game, where the Saints were outplayed by the Minnesota Vikings but still managed to eke out a 31-28 victory in the overtime nail-biter. St. Christopher, the patron saint of travelers and turnovers, helped keep New Orleans in the game by forcing the Vikings into five giveaways to the Saints’ one. And despite being picked apart for 310 yards by
“We couldn’t get a break,” moaned the Vikings dumbfounded coach Brad Childress. “It was like there was some kind of supernatural force that kept the ball bouncing the wrong way for us.” Meantime, St. Lucy, the patron saint of eyes, worked some of her magic on the referees late in the game as several close calls went “The refs seemed blind to late hits on Brett Favre throughout the game,” notes Cardinal Giovanni Gonadi, the Of course, the whole season has been nothing short of a miracle for New Orleans, and it’s all been orchestrated by the team’s fiery leader, quarterback Drew Brees.

I normally make a
rather fruitless
bid for funding in this spot. But for the next few months or so, please
use some of the money you're not contributing to the Cosmic Chronicle
and donate it to one of the organizations that
are helping the Haitian people in this time of great need.
Thanks, Gary Greenberg
