i read somewhere that the game was staged so that the saints could win because they needed the money to rebuild new orleans and that it was one of the reasons the one of the other players was upset from the beginning to end. does anyone know

LMAO what garbage cause the second best team in the NFL couldn't possibly win a SB against a quarterback who is known for flopping during a playoff game.
