As would be clear to anybody who saw this year's most-talked-about Super Bowl commercial on Sunday, David Letterman obviously favors his Colts of Indianapolis (he is one of Indiana's favorite sons, after all). So it's no surprise that he was having a little bit of trouble coping with his team's big loss on Sunday. From his opening monologue (when he proclaimed proudly that he is no longer "Indiana's biggest disappointment") to his Top Ten List of Indianapolis Colts Excuses for Losing, Dave took a playful approach to dealing with his team's unfortunate and heartbreaking loss to the New Orleans Saints.
Monday's show was also a big step in the healing process, as Dave's big guest was Saints quarterback, new champion and Super Bowl MVP Drew Brees. During the interview, Drew and Dave went back and forth playfully about the big game. Dave expressed his anger as the game went on but made sure to tell Drew that seeing him and his son enjoying the victory together on TV was a truly great and moving moment — a moment that might have even made it OK that his Colts didn't leave Miami with the Lombardi Trophy in their possession.
In the end, Dave couldn't help but catch a pass from the champion QB. Check out some of the show highlights below.
