My Picks For Super Bowl (Whatever The Freakin Number Is?


I was never much for roman numerals and hate the fact that the NFL uses these instead of real numbers. Speaking of real numbers, here is the real scoop on all of the numbers for the big game this Sunday.

Coin Toss (Heads or Tails)
You have a 50/50 chance here.....I like tails!

Coin Toss (Which Team Wins)
The NFC has won 12 straight flips....I like Pittsburgh the odds are in their favor! Plus, they are lucky as all git go.

How Many Times Will Joe Buck and Troy Aikman mention BRET FAVRE? Say it...BRETT FAVRE
The line is over or under 2.5 times....This is a sure lock win for the over I think they will mention him at least 12 times.

How many times will the dynamic Fox duo of nitwits mention the work Lockout?
The over or under line is 1.5 times.....Again, a sure lead pipe lock with the over. These two dunder heads won't spend half the broadcast on the actual game.

How long will it take Christina Aguilera to sing the National Anthem?
The line here is 54 seconds....I am going under on this one. She may not even know the words.

Will Christina Aguilera wear a cowboy hat while singing the National Anthem?
A tough one.....I say no to this one. I really hope she wears ass less chaps.

How Many Times will FOX show Jerry Jones on TV during the Game?
The line is 2.5 times on this one. Since there are no cheerleaders I am going with the over. Fox has to give Cowboy fans something to look at.

What will be the Result of the First Coaches Challenge in the Game?
Another 50/50 shot.....I am going under the hood... "After further review, the play on the field stands.

Will Fergie of The Black Eyed Peas wear a Cowboys Cheerleader outfit?
Well, we can only hope so....However, I say no. That would be a sacrilege of some sort I think. Can you say, 'Wardrobe Malfunction"?

Who will the Super Bowl MVP thank first?
The choices are, Coach, Family, God, Teammates or no one....My odds are with the Big Man upstairs.

How many times will the refs huddle up and then pick up the penalty flag for a no call?
The over/under is 1.5 times.....I am going with the over again here. The head zebra for this game is Walt Anderson who is known for flying laundry especially on hard hits. Confusion will reign and the yellow laundry will fly.

And finally, the prediction that you have all been waiting for,

Who will actually win the Super Bowl?

Write this down.....Green Bay Packers 27 - Pittsburgh Steelers 17.

P.S.: If you are betting money, take The Steelers and the points.

It's Official - The Most Disliked Player In The Super Bowl


Well, its been made official. A recent poll was conducted by Penn Schoen Berland which concluded that Ben Roethlisberger is the most disliked player competing in this years Super Bowl. Big Ben is strongly disliked 3 to 1 over the rest of the entire rosters of players. This poll was conducted for all NFL players and Big Ben came in 4th overall behind Tom Brady (3rd), Michael Vick (2nd) and yes BRETT FAVRE (1st). That's right, say it....BRETT FAVRE! I was somewhat shocked to see that Tom Brady was more disliked than Ben Rapistberger. Go figure? Its no surprise that Big Ben is #4. Two rape allegations, a motor cycle accident that nearly cost him his life and rearranged his face as well as other past transgressions make him very unlikable.

This national poll also concluded that 78% of all Americans plan on watching this years game which means more dough, ray, me for the sponsors as well as the league. More fans will be rooting for the Packers according to this poll and men are looking forward to the game more than their anniversaries. OUCH! None of this is surprising to me since the only people who like the Steelers are their fans. They are like the NY Yankees. You either love them or you hate them. Most people hate them because Pittsburgh usually beats up on their favorite team. Steeler fans are die hard and will go to great lengths to support their team. They are at times overbearing, obnoxious and delusional. Their tunnel vision is colored black and yellow. However, all of this does not make them bad fans. They are the best fans a team can have. They support the organization to the death. They are no where near as bad as Philadelphia fans however. I had a friend pelted with eaten chicken wings at The Vet during an Eagles game a few years back. He thought that he might not make it out of town alive. Of course he was supporting his team and wearing Cowboys gear. I would think that was a huge error. Philly fans are the worst by far. Whether you love the Steelers and their sometimes out of control Quarterback, you have to admit that the polls don't lie and Ben Rapistberger is disliked by many including myself.

As we approach Super Bowl Sunday, I will post a few more Sports Gripe Shots and then on Saturday make my prediction on the game. I will actually make predictions on several facets of the game.
