Super Bowl 2010 Results: New Orleans Saints Won!

Super Bowl 2010 Results: New Orleans Saints Won!

The Saints defeated the Colts in the 44th Super Bowl. This is the first time New Orleans Saints won in a Super Bowl Championship.

You guys are so unpredictable. In the first quarter, the Colts dominated the game and humiliated the Saints with a score of zero. But during the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th quarters, it seems like the Saints are now dominating the arena, they are invincible and the Colts can’t even get closer to their superb prowess.

The final score is 31-17. The New Orleans Saints did one hell of a job and they won Super Bowl XLIV! Leading with 14 points, the Saints surely deserves to win this year’s Super Bowl.

Once again, Congratulations to New Orleans Saints for a job well done and for winning Super Bowl 44.

Game Summary:

First quarter:

New Orleans first drive:
Kickoff occurred at 6:28 p.m. EST (23:28 UTC), with New Orleans catching it for a 20 yard return by Courtney Roby, followed by a 8 yard gain by Pierre Thomas. The drive was concluded after a missed 3rd down with a 42 yard punt by Thomas Morstead, with no return due to the receiver being covered by Courtney Roby.

Indianapolis first drive:
With the ball on Indianapolis’s 27 yard line, the Colts started a drive consisting of an 18 yard pass to Dallas Clark, a 6 yard rush by Joseph Addai,another 6 yard pass to Dallas Clark, a 3 yard run by Pierre Garcon, a 19 yard pass to Austin Collie, and another 3 yard run by Addai. A penalty was called by referee Scott Green, for a false start by Kyle DeVan, resulting in a 5 yard loss for the Colts. The drive continued, with a 7 yard run by Addai. On the subsequent third down, Peyton Manning overthrew his pass to Pierre Garcon. Indianapolis place kicker Matt Stover, the oldest Super Bowl player ever, kicked the ball 38 yards for a field goal, making the score 3–0.

New Orleans second drive:
Courtney Roby returned the Colts’s 68 yard kickoff for a gain of 26 yards. Approaching the 25-yard line, Roby swooped into a dive and fumbled the ball, however it was recovered by Chris Reis. The drive continued with a 4 yard pass to Marques Colston, a 16 yard pass to Reggie Bush, and a 3-yard run by Reggie Bush, which were followed by two balls that were just barely missed by Marques Colston. On 4th down and seven yards to go, the Saints punted, a 46-yard kick that was downed at Indianapolis’s 4 yard line.

Indianapolis second drive:
Starting from their position on their 4 yard line, Peyton Manning passed the ball to Donald Brown, who ran for 11 yards. This play was followed by an incomplete pass to Brown, a 15-yard run by Addai, an incomplete pass by Manning (to avoid a sack), a 12 yard rush by Addai, a 5 yard pass to Reggie Wayne, a 4 yard rush by Brown, and a 26-yard run by Addai. This was his longest of the season and his first 25+ yard rush since Christmas Eve of 2006. After an incomplete pass to Wayne and a a 4-yard run by Brown, the 10-play drive culminated in a 19-yard pass to Pierre Garcon for a touchdown. This elevated the Colts’ lead to 9–0, and Matt Stover’s extra point gave the Colts a 10–0 lead.

Second quarter

The Saints responded with a drive for a 40-yard field goal by Garrett Hartley, to score their first points of the game and narrow the Colts lead to 10–3. In the final two minutes of the first half, the Saints drove to a first-and-goal at the Colts 3-yard line. But a false start penalty set them back to the 8, and they attempted 3rd and 4th down runs from the 1-yard line. This failed, and the Colts moved the ball somewhat before punting back to the Saints. After a short drive to the Colts 27, Hartley kicked another field goal as time expired. The score at halftime stood at Colts 10, Saints 6, the first 10–6 halftime score in Super Bowl history.

Third quarter

The Saints successfully recovered a surprise onside kick to gain possession of the ball at the beginning of the half, finishing the unexpected drive with a touchdown to take the lead 13–10. Manning and the Colts answered with their own touchdown drive. With 6:21 left in the quarter, Joseph Addai scored from the 4-yard line to put the Colts back on top 17–13.

Fourth quarter

The Saints’ Tracy Porter intercepted Manning’s pass, resulting in a Saints touchdown. Porter’s interception return for a touchdown continued the Super Bowl trend that a team scoring on an interception return wins the championship game.

World Cup 2010 – John Terry sacked as England captain

John Terry has been sacked as England captain following a 12 minute meeting with manager Fabio Capello at Wembley.

The Chelsea star met Capello in an emergency meeting on Friday afternoon, but left after just 12 minutes having been informed of the Italian’s decision.

In a brief statement, Terry said: “I fully respect Fabio Capello’s decision. I will continue to give everything for England.”

Terry, who was first made full-time skipper in 2006 by former manager Steve McClaren, has been the subject of intense media speculation following allegations about his private life.

The FA published the following statement from Capello on their website:

“After much thought, I have made the decision that it will be best for me to take the captaincy away from John Terry.

“As a captain with the team, John Terry has displayed extremely positive behaviour. However, I have to take into account other considerations and what is best for all of the England squad.

“What is best for all of the England team has inspired my choice. John Terry was notified first.

“When I chose John Terry as captain, I also selected a vice-captain and also named a third choice. There is no reason to change this decision.

“I would like to take this opportunity to thank The FA, particularly Lord David Triesman and Ian Watmore for allowing me to make this decision in my own time and in the best interest of the team.”

Terry was seen by many as the perfect England captain with natural bulldog spirit combined with superb defensive qualities.

In the 15 matches in which he wore the armband under Capello, England won 11 and drew two, qualifying easily for this year’s World Cup in South Africa where they will be among the favourites to win the trophy.

Manchester United Rio Ferdinand, the current vice-captain, is a strong favourite to take over in light of Capello’s statement, while Steven Gerrard, Frank Lampard and Wayne Rooney are also in contention.

Capello may also decide not to appoint a permanent skipper, selecting a captain only on a match-by-match basis.

News broke last Friday of an alleged affair between Terry and Vanessa Perroncel, the long-term girlfriend of England and former Chelsea team-mate Wayne Bridge.

Terry, who is married, had attempted to suppress stories with a controversial super-injunction, which was lifted by High Court judge Mr Justice Tugendhat.

Miss Perroncel has announced that she will not sell her story to a newspaper, despite rumours of a £250,000 offer.

Australian Open – Federer ends Murray dream in Australia

World number one Roger Federer became just the fifth man in history to win four Australian Opens when he beat fifth seed Andy Murray 6-3 6-4 7-6(11).

Federer, who is also the first father to win a Grand Slam since Andre Agassi won in Melbourne in 2003, joins Roy Emerson, Agassi, Jack Crawford and Ken Rosewall in lifting the Norman Brookes Trophy four times.

The win in Melbourne also means Federer has increased his Grand Slam record to 16 titles.

Murray had been attempting to become the first British man to triumph in a Grand Slam since Fred Perry in 1936, but in a repeat of the 2008 US Open final, he was once again out-played by Federer.

Going into the match, Murray had dropped just one set, to Croatian 14th seed Marin Cilic in the semi-finals, but Federer dismantled Murray in the first two sets before coming from 5-2 down to force a third set tie-break.

Despite pressure from Murray, the world number one finally sealed the win in two hours and 41 minutes when the Brit slapped a backhand into the net.

Federer was quick to pounce on a nervous start from Murray, breaking in just the second game with a blistering forehand winner straight down the line.

The Brit was quick to bounce back, breaking back in the very next game with a whipped forehand passing shot, before trading service holds with the top seed.

But Federer broke again into the eighth game with another forehand winner, this time firing the ball inside out across court, before easing through the service hold that sealed the first set after 43 minutes.

The early stages of the second set followed much the same pattern, with Federer breaking for the lead in the third game; battering consecutive forehand winners over the net before sealing it when Murray hit into the net off the backhand wing.

The Scot battled well not to concede a second break of serve, saving multiple break points in his next two service games, but Federer had already done enough and brought up three set points with his seventh ace of the match before sealing it with a forehand volley winner on the second.

Murray upped his level considerably in the third set, earning himself a break point in just the second game of the set, before eventually breaking in the fifth with a whipped forehand passing shot winner across court.

But Federer broke back when it really counted, when Murray was serving for the set at 5-3, drilling a forehand return of serve winner across court and on to the line before sealing it when Murray dumped a backhand into the net.

The players then traded service holds before Federer held once again, with an ace out wide, to force the decisive tie-break.

The 22-year-old Scot raced out to a 3-1 lead and looked to be heading towards a fourth set and even held five set points in a topsy turvy breaker.

But Federer withstood all the pressure, including squandering his first two championship points, and eventually sealed the win on his third attempt when Murray’s backhand down the line caught the top of the tape and failed to go over.

Alex Reid wins Big Brother crown

Cage fighter Alex Reid has been crowned Celebrity Big Brother champion.

When host Davina McCall announced Reid had won the 34-year-old looked shocked and embraced runner-up Dane Bowers.

Reid charmed the public and won the last ever Celebrity Big Brother beating singer Bowers into second place.

Reid emerged grinning from the house wearing a jacket and jeans and punched the air while descending the stairs to the Rocky theme tune. He waved to the crowd and appeared overwhelmed by his win, repeatedly saying: “Wow”.

In a remarkable turnaround, Reid polled 65% of the public vote.

Football hardman turned Hollywood actor Vinnie Jones, 45, came third and said of the winner: “I taught him everything I know.”

Reid’s girlfriend Katie Price was thought to be at the studio to greet him. Price, also known as glamour model Jordan, sensationally dumped Reid on ITV reality show I’m a Celebrity … but the pair are thought to have got back together before he went into the house.

Asked by McCall if as a sportsman he wanted to win, third place contestant Jones said: “I think I brought the locker room banter into the place and was digging a few people out. I was having my own fun.”

Actress Stephanie Beacham was the first contestant to get the boot in the Celebrity Big Brother final. After being evicted the 62-year-old said to the remaining housemates: “I knew it. See you out there. It is great – great.”

Swedish dance music star Jonas Altberg, aka Basshunter, was the second contestant to be booted out the house, coming in fourth place. He hugged his fellow contestants before descending the stairs in a black suit and braces, smiling at the cheering crowd.

Australian Open – Serena downs Henin to win fifth Oz Open

World number one Serena Williams claimed her fifth Australian Open title by withstanding a spirited challenge from wildcard Justine Henin to win 6-4 3-6 6-2.

Williams, who had previously lifted the Daphne Akhurst trophy in 2003, 2005, 2007 and 2009, wrapped up the win with a forehand winner after two hours and seven minutes to become the first women since Jennifer Capriati in 2002 to defend the title in Melbourne.

The victory secured Williams’s 12th Grand Slam title, leaving her equal with compatriot Billie Jean King in sixth place on the list of female Grand Slam champions.

Starting the match in 35 degree heat, even though it was past 7.30pm in Melbourne, Williams looked nervous as she struggled to hold serve despite opening the match with an ace.

Williams was forced to save two break points in the first game before being allowed to go on and hold after eight minutes when Henin sent a nervy forehand long of the line.

Henin found things slightly more comfortable on serve, getting her account off the mark with a backhand winner that delighted the crowd, before again earning herself break points against the Williams serve.

Almost from nowhere, Williams bounced back from her troubled start and looked a different player when she broke to love in the fourth game as Henin sent an off-balanced backhand wide down the line.

Henin, who won the Australian Open title in 2004, enjoyed break back points in the very next game but could not capitalise and was forced to wait until the seventh game before getting things back on level terms, whipping a cross court forehand passing shot away to seal the break.

Williams bounced back immediately though, wrapping up the first set after 51 minutes when Henin’s cross court backhand hit the top of the tape and bounced wide.

The second set was similarly competitive with Henin holding a multitude of break points, the Belgian breaking in the third game with a cross court forehand winner off a poor drop shot.

Williams continued to frustrate Henin in the early stages of the second set, breaking back immediately before holding to take the lead at 3-2.

But Henin suddenly found another level, reeling off four games in succession, breaking in the seventh game with a huge forehand that Williams could only return long, before sealing the set when Williams dumped a forehand into the net.

Henin looked in danger of running away with the early stages of the final set as she held to love in the opening game and set up two more break points in the second.

But Williams regained her composure, forcing her back into the match and even trading breaks with Henin before running away with the last four games to pick up her fifth Australian Open with a forehand winner across court.

Australian Open – Wizard Murray in Oz Open final

Andy Murray kept his head and moved one step closer to the ultimate prize as he beat Marin Cilic to reach the Australian Open final in Melbourne.

The Scot overcame a slow start to get past the towering Croat 3-6 6-4 6-4 6-2 and set up an opportunity to end Britain’s 74-year-wait for a men’s Grand Slam champion.

The fifth seed will now meet the winner of Friday’s second semi-final between world number one Roger Federer and 2008 finalist Jo-Wilfried Tsonga of France.

It will be the second Grand Slam final for the 22-year-old, who was beaten by Federer in the 2008 US Open final.

“He (Cilic) showed incredible guts… he made it so tough for me and fought right till the end,” Murray said after the match. “We’re going to have more great matches in the future.”

Murray held a 3-1 career record over Cilic but when the pair last met in the fourth round of last year’s US Open the Croat thrashed the heavily-favoured Scot in three sets.

Cilic had played three five-set matches on his way to the semi-finals and spent more than 18 hours on court.

Murray had not dropped a set but the 14th seeded Croat ended that streak at the first attempt after breaking twice.

The Scot appeared dazed in the second set, seemingly unable to break serve before producing an amazing display of speed and court craft to set up a break point in the fifth game.

A Cilic drive hit the net cord and dropped on Murray’s side. The 22-year-old managed to retrieve it, produced a reflex backhand volley, then turned and ran down a lob to drive a winner past the lunging Croat, bringing the crowd to their feet.

Murray let out an almighty yelp reminiscent of a Highlands battle cry and then sealed the crucial break that he held to seal the set.

“I just managed to chase it down. Honestly, I actually practise this shot quite a lot in training… and it was a very good shot and I managed to turn it around from there.”

The match continued to be dominated from the baseline as both players hammered away in the third set, with Murray breaking in the third game before Cilic immediately struck back.

Murray, however, immediately set about quickening the pace in an effort to exploit Cilic’s fatigue from previous exertions, and he broke again which allowed him to take the set.

The fight appeared to disappear from Cilic early in the fourth set when a double fault gave Murray a break in the third game, and a lucky net cord in the fifth allowed the Scot to break again.

While Cilic then managed to hold serve he was only delaying the inevitable, highlighted when Murray ran down a shot and hit an angled return from the tramlines that did not even go over the net but still landed in for a 30-15 lead in the final game.

Murray then sealed the victory when Cilic’s service return sailed over the baseline.

If Murray wins Sunday’s final he will become the first Briton to claim a Grand Slam title since Fred Perry won the US Open in 1936.

And there was more good news for British tennis as English teenager Laura Robson marched into the girls’ semi-finals with a straightforward 6-1 6-0 victory over Ester Goldfeld of the United States.

Australian Open – Murray reaches semis as Nadal retires

Andy Murray booked his place in the semi-finals of the Australian Open, leading world number two Rafael Nadal 6-3 7-6(2) 3-0 when the defending champion was forced to retire with a knee injury.

Murray, who has progressed to the final four in Melbourne without dropping a set, was in imperious form from the outset and will next face 14th seed Marin Cilic after the Croat beat Andy Roddick in a five-set epic earlier in the day.

“I’ve known Rafa since I was 13 or 14 and he is somebody I have always looked up to,” Murray said.

“He is my favourite player to watch because of his energy and I am gutted for him. I came through a few difficult moments at the start of the match but I played well and I got my tactics right.”

Nadal slipped on the baseline in the 11th game of the second set, having earlier called for the trainer at 15-15 in the second game of the first set, before deciding two games later that he could not continue.

The defeat ensures that, irrespective of further results in Melbourne, Novak Djokovic will take over the world number two spot from Nadal when the new rankings come out on Monday. Djokovic even has the chance to take the world number one ranking should he win the tournament and Roger Federer fail to make the semi-finals.

Murray opened the match strongly, holding with a 126 mph ace down the centre of the court, but quickly found himself on the back foot when Nadal broke in just the third game with a wonderful backhand down the line after a lengthy rally.

But the break seemed to energise Murray, as the Scot broke straight back with an inch-perfect topspin backhand lob.

The Scot broke again in the sixth game of the opening set, with a whipped backhand winner across court on the return of serve, to consolidate his lead.

Nadal earned break back points when Murray stepped up to serve for the set, but the world number four held his nerve to save them all before wrapping up the set at the third attempt when Nadal’s backhand return of serve dropped long.

The second set was a tighter affair with both players holding with ease until a 10-minute delay to accommodate the Australia day fireworks in the city centre across the river from Melbourne Park.

The delay seemed to affect Murray more than Nadal and the Scot promptly dropped his serve to 15 when play resumed by drilling a backhand wide across court.

But Nadal was not unaffected either, and Murray got back on level terms in the next game when the Spaniard sent consecutive cross-court backhands wide into the tramlines.

Murray earned further break points in the 11th game but Nadal retained his composure to save them all, despite his slip on the baseline, before Murray held to 30 to force the second set tie-break.

The Scot ran away with the breaker, firing consecutive smash winners before Nadal dumped a forehand into the net to hand Murray six set points.

The Spaniard saved the first with a huge first serve that Murray could only return long, but the Scot wrapped things up at the second attempt when Nadal dumped a cross-court backhand into the net.

Nadal was serving at 1-0 down in the third when he walked to the chair with a grimace, after chasing down a cross court forehand, and called for the trainer.

The Spaniard appeared in some discomfort as he received an injury timeout for treatment to his knee and immediately dropped serve upon the resumption, firing a forehand long on Murray’s first break point.

And despite earning two break back points in the very next game, Nadal decided he could not continue as Murray took a 3-0 lead with a vicious forehand down the line.
