For the second game in a row, the quarterback opposing the Saints is a guy who used to be a Saints fan growing up. Not only did Peyton Manning spend his childhood in New Orleans, but he is the son of Saints legendary QB Archie Manning.

On Wednesday Peyton recalled being around the Superdome as a young boy, watching his dad play and then going on the field himself and playing after the game. The Colts QB is still very active in the New Orleans community, having provided a lot of help after Hurrican Katrina.

Manning's favorite target in Indianapolis, Reggie Wayne, also grew up around the Crescent City rooting for the Saints. He says it's a little bittersweet having to play them in the Super Bowl.

"What they've been doing the past couple of years, its been great for the city, they've been there through the hard times." said Wayne.

Even former Colts running back Marshall Faulk is a New Orleans native and strong supporter of the Saints. He says the success the team is having is so important because it helps the city be put in a good spotlight.
