This was the big debate when both teams were 13-0. The Colts said (of course after they locked up home field advantage) that they would rest their players (which they did) in the games leading up to the playoffs. The Saints on the other hand, said they they were not going to rest their players and instead try and go 16-0 in the regular season.
Unfortunately for us, we will never knew which approach in better.
The Saints ended up losing to the Cowboys in a game they went all out for and didn't rest any players. After that loss, the Saints ended up resting their key players and the Colts acted like pussies and rested their stars and starters in the last one and a half games of the regular season.
It would have been nice if the Colts rested their players and the Saints didn't so this Superbowl can probably really decide once and for all which approach is better: resting or trying to go 19-0.
But of course, just another reason to hate the Colts.

Fuck You Tony Romo
Tonight gave me even more reason to hate the Dallas Cowboys and the NFL. Not only did the fucksticks retardedly called "America's Team" win on a night where professional football should not be played on a network I don't get, but they ruined the chance for "America's New Team", the New Orleans Saints, to go 19-0. Now I have to root for Peyton Manning to be 19-0? Fuck.
