Thursday night marks the beginning of the 2010 NFL season and it will all start down in the Big Easy, New Orleans.
The defending Super Bowl champion New Orleans Saints will face the Minnesota Vikings in a rematch of last year's NFC Championship Game that saw the Saints win in overtime. Vikings' quarterback Brett Favre threw an interception to cornerback Tracy Porter that sealed the tie and sent the game to an extra period. A few minutes later, Saints' kicker Garrett Hartley sent the Saints to the franchise's first Super Bowl.
It also sent Favre home in what was originally thought to be his final game as a professional football player. Needless to say, but he has come back for a twentieth season and wants revenge against the team that knocked his out of the playoffs last year.
New Orleans Examiner Danny Cox and Minnesota Vikings Examiner Joseph Oberle are both of course rooting for their home teams, but they took it upon themselves to ask the other a few questions about the game and upcoming season.
They asked each other five questions regarding the quarterbacks, Super Bowl hangovers, turnover problems, and the talk of the Saints playing dirty in last year's contest.
So who won this little war of words between two of the biggest followers for their respective teams? Decide for yourself:
~ Joseph Oberle answers questions about the Minnesota Vikings
~ Danny Cox answers questions about the New Orleans Saints
Now only one thing remains to be seen and that's who is going to come out on top in the rematch to end all rematches. Will it be the Vikings exacting their revenge or the Saints taking yet another one? Only time will tell and we'll all find out on Thursday night.
Those in the New Orleans area, don't forget to enjoy all the fun before hand as the NFL is going to kick off the new season in style. Taylor Swift and the Dave Matthews Band will be performing in Jackson Square in the French Quarter right before the game. There is also going to be a parade thrown only like New Orleans knows how.
