Nobody really was surprised about the Saints claiming the NFC Championship Sunday. Saints kicker Garrett Hartley, who kicked the 40-yard game-winner in OT, says he saw the whole thing coming. Hey, that whole prognostication skill would have come in handy about, oh, maybe five years ago? Anyway…

“I called my dad (in Texas) at 2:15 in the morning,” Hartley said. “And I told him I had a feeling I was going to hit the game-winner from 42 yards on the right hash mark. I think I was 2 yards off.”

His premonition was 2 yards off, but his kick about 19 hours later was dead on….–ABC 2, via Second String Fullback.

Garrett also likes porkbellies and sugar in the commodities market, and thinks Obama is a shoo-in for 2012. He probably also predicted that people in New Orleans would get really drunk for that game, too. It’s like he can see into the future, man.
