Harry Connick Jr. Swears Off Super Bowl After Saints Defeat

Tempers flared during today’s NFC championship game between the New Orleans Saints and Los Angeles Rams at the Super Dome after a controversial non-call on a potential pass interference penalty and head-to-head hit by L.A. defensive back Nickell Robey-Coleman, who slammed into Saints pass receiver Tommylee Lewis on a crucial third-down play. The ref’s decision not to drop a penalty flag on the play cost New Orleans a chance at victory in a game that ultimately went into overtime with the Rams winning 26-23 to meet the New England Patriots in Atlanta for the Super Bowl on February 3.
