If Freeney doesn't play at all in the big game, will anyone view a Saints' victory with an asterisk?

I know it is the NFL and injuries are common, but I was interested to hear what others thought.

I thought that McCoy going down in the MNC gave Alabama an unfair asterisk but I am not sure what I would think about Freeney.

the only way i would view either team's win with an asterisk is if either manning or brees wasn't playing.

this, also if refs are blatantly favoring a certain team.

Look, I hate the Saints as much as everybody else but no team is completely healthy this time of year. There's no asterisks on wins due to injuries.

[PantherBrew]

no.

maybe the colts will then play a DE who can get more then 30 tackles in a season:biggrin5:

The Aints will never win a Super Bowl.

Don't say that!!! You'll jinx it

[Boltergeist]

Well if the Colts win, they can borrow Rick Neuheisel's line - I guess we kicked their asterisk.

[Brooklyn Bully]

The Colts are 9-2 all-time without Freeney.

[Jangler]

If the Saints do win, there should be an * because everybody knows they are not a real team and are only there because of Katrina sympathy.

As much as I hate the saints and never want to see them win a superbowl. No, there should definitely not be an asterisk.

This is a team sport. Injuries happen; people go down. The only reason there should ever be an asterisk is when there is a reasonable dispute in regards to the rules of the game. Such as: The refs admittedly blew a call that could have changed the outcome of the game, a player was caught cheating, a ref/player/coach bet on the game, a coaching staff was caught video taping hand signals during the game, etc.

Injuries are just a part of the game.
