The Big Easy will have to understand, it won’t be a hard decision for Archie Manning when it comes to whether to pull for his hometown New Orleans Saints or his homegrown son in Super Bowl XLIV. Ol’ Arch, the oh-so-popular former Saints quarterback who still resides with wife Olivia in New Orleans, is rootin’ for the Indianapolis Colts, he had just watched Peyton help send the Colts to South Florida for a Feb. 7 game with the Saints in Super Bowl XLIV by passing for 377 yards and three touchdowns in a 30-17 win over the New York Jets in the AFC Championship Game. Archie stood just outside the jubilant Colts locker room the Manning clan — sons Cooper and Eli also were in attendance Sunday — is in full Colts mode, and will be again in two weeks. “It’s a game I’m going to pull for my son,” Archie said. “(Saints coach) Sean Payton knows that. He’s a great friend of mine. (Saints quarterback) Drew Brees knows that. That’s just the way it is." “Anybody who thinks it’s different must not have children.” Source: IndyStar
