It's funny you claim these teams were horrible before these events. Both found their franchise QB for the next decade, and in one case.. the team wasn't even close to being bad prior to their Super Bowl win.

Throw in Sean Payton also for the Saints success. He built that offense into the beast it is today, drafting and signing receivers that fit his system. Was Marques Colston falling to them in the 7th round and then becoming possibly the best WR of that draft also part of the NFL's conspiracy? They also had great front office/personell management and getting a few lucky bounces with veterans coming in and helping out to rebuild their D. Also, was it the NFL's conspiracy to have Favre well, pull a Favre, and throw a game changing INT in overtime that otherwise could have lead to a vikings fg and W?
