Fearless Super Bowl Prognostication

I'll put my prediction behind the cut, as since the Pats lost, Kate has been trying to pretend that football season is over, and I wouldn't want to upset her...

I don't really have a strong rooting interest in either team. I have some good friends who are Bears fans, but that could cut either way, and while I'd like to see Peyton Manning and Tony Dungy win one, because they're both good guys, that's not a real strong interest, either. I havent really seen enough of either team to make a solid football-based prediction, either.

Looking at the rosters, though, I see that Adam Vinatieri is on the Colts, now, so I have a fair amount of confidence in predicting that the Colts will win by a field goal.

What's your prediction? Or are you just watching for the commercials?

Here in the United States, it's Super Bowl Sunday, and the Colts play the Saints for the championship of our National Football League. We listen to music that pumps us up,

I'm hoping the Colts win because they haven't won in 30 years. I have no real interest in the game other than that.

And ironically, they won despite Vinatieri's despicable and subpar play, exactly the kind of play you'd expect from a player formerly from the most overrated team in America.

I'd have to say ... that was mediocre, or worse.

I didn't particularly care who won, as long as it was a good game to watch. And I really can't say that I was even moderately entertained.

Talk about flawed contenders ... a lot of previous champs would've absolutely hammered either of these two teams, and I don't think their level of play can be blamed on the rain.
