Saints raise their city's spirits, maybe for good Colts hope loss fuels another Super Bowl run
NEW ORLEANS - People lined up by the hundreds to buy Monday's Times-Picayune, which hollered "AMEN!" from its front page. The Saints' Super Bowl victory was a prayer answered in this struggling city, and New Orleans itself seemed different for it. MIAMI - Reggie Wayne stared right through all those reporters. He wasn't bothered by the questions Sunday night. He just couldn't believe he and the Colts lost to his hometown New Orleans Saints in the Super Bowl. Moments after Indianapolis came up one win short of a championship, the Pro Bowl receiver downplayed the disappointment by focusing on next season.

LOS ANGELES - No Kobe, still no problem for the Los Angeles Lakers.

Today's Feature


Payton, Brees bask in glory of New Orleans' title
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. - Wearing Mardi Gras beads and clearly exhausted from a late night of post-Super Bowl celebrations, Sean Payton leaned on a podium, clutching the Vince Lombardi trophy in his right hand. "You can't get enough of this," the Saints' head coach said at a news conference at the Fort Lauderdale convention center Monday morning. "This thing lay in my bed next to me last night, rolled over it a couple times. I probably drooled on it. But man, there's nothing like it."

RECENT FEATURES

Perfect timing
When Milwaukee Wave coach Keith Tozer got the call in July, he thought it was a prank. The person on other end of the line said he was interested in buying the Milwaukee Wave.

Hot wheels
Competitive bike racing isn’t the race you remember from childhood between you and your brother to the end of the block on your Schwinn 10-speeds. Instead, think weaving, sprinting and attacking in a tight-knit group of riders at 35 mph on a high-performance bike.

On thick ice
When Randy Dean says "he’s on ice," he means it. As the new head of the Pettit National Ice Center in West Allis, he’s in charge of everything that hums, buzzes and blinks at the $13 million facility, in addition to promoting the place.

Tough girl
Brett Favre will always be the first athlete who sports fans in Wisconsin think of when the subject turns to toughness. Favre may be the gold standard, but West Allis Olympic gymnast Chellsie Memmel is not far behind. Memmel, 5-foot-2, 119 pounds, is grittier than the cheapest of breakfast steaks.

White knight
Think of Bayside’s Joseph Biebel as the Rocky of fencing. He wasn’t born to the sport. There was, however, the childhood fascination with the television series "Zorro," long before "Star Wars" and "The Princess Bride" brought swordplay to another generation.

In synch
Synchronized swimming requires the endurance of a long distance runner, the grace of an ice skater and the power of a gymnast, all performed in the unstable medium of water.

Buzz words
Marquette University surprised many people when it named Brent "Buzz" Williams to replace Tom Crean as men’s basketball coach.

Fly girl
This year women have leapt into the history books by running for the highest offices in American politics.

Game on!
It’s a hot year for sports in Milwaukee. And buoyed by the success of the Milwaukee Brewers, the Milwaukee Bucks are ready to shine.

His cup overfloweth
Chris Finn says he grew up a "crazed kid," kicking the soccer ball to knock down tools in his Whitefish Bay garage, even though he knew he had less than a 1 percent chance to play professionally. 

Set your sights on a race
Are you looking for a challenge this summer or new ways to feed your athletic passion? Here is a list of races within an hour’s drive of Metro Milwaukee. 

Soup's on
It’s easy to become jaded as a big-league ballplayer. After a while, the chartered flights, generous meal money and pristine playing conditions begin to feel less like luxuries and more like entitlements.

Fire on ice
With three brothers, Dousman’s Brianna Decker isn’t one to let herself get intimidated. That skill is proving valuable as Decker establishes herself as one of the top young hockey players in the country. In January, she was part of the U-18 women’s team that won the world championship.

Fore!
Not up to par on your golf game? Don’t get tee’d off. Instead, shake off your winter rust with golf lessons. From beginner to seasoned veteran, there’s a lesson format to help you achieve that hole-in-one.

On course
Mathematician, competitor, philanthropist, dad. Mark Wilson is his own foursome. Just watch him as he practices for the US Bank Championship. On a bright July morning at Brown Deer Golf Course, Wilson studies each shot from every angle and works out any kinks in his game.
