    Should the Saints and Colts meet in the Super Bowl.

    Where does his allegiance lie? He is the poster child for all the bad that has happened to this Saints franchise, and he would love nothing better than to see the Saints erase all the curses bestowed upon this team oh these many years.

    Does he root for his Saints or for his son? I say he roots for his son Peyton to do extremely well but the Saints win it in a shootout. Just my guess.

    Other sidebar: Payton vs. Peyton. Now that's a show.

    Not to mention he also does color work for the WWL's saints game broadcasts. How many times you think he will be interviewed SuperBowl week if that happens?

    Archie hasnt done color on the radio in quite awhile.Hokie Gajan does color now.I believe Archie stopped when Peyton entered the league so he could watch him.

    I could swear I heard him on the radio last year. Perhaps that was just for some pregame or postgame type stuff. Either way the national media has him labeled as an embassador to the saints community, so he's still stuck in interesting spot.

    Ever since Arch and Eli acted as if they were NFL Gods and refused to go to San Diego, I lost respect for Archie. I bet he and Eli feel like idiots now. It's gonna suck if the Colts play us in the Super Bowl, cause then Archie comes out on top either way. But I want the Saints to destroy Peyton cause I think this will be his only SB if they make it.

    Archie was a pretty good color guy.Hokie has become pretty good ,too.In the begining Hokie wouldnt talk,Now...when there is a good Saints play ,he is yelling like a fan as the play by play guy describes the action.

    speaking of radio announcers....Hawthorne is ok......But Doug Moreau is outstanding.I honestly believe he is one of the best color guys out there.I hope if he gets the federal judgeship that he isin line for ,that it won't keep him from doing LSU football broadcasts.And one other comment ...our color guy for basketball is HORRIBLE.He is so bad I won't even type his name in here for fear I may puke.I think my grandmother could describe the action better than him and she passed away in 1983.
