Super Bowl Picks '07
Al- 8-2
Nenie- 7-3
Charlie- 7-3
CK- 7-3
Cody- 6-2
Kevin- 1-1
Well, barring Charlie or CK going against their birthrights, looks like Al won this thing again.
Crazy. Oh well, looks like Manning screwed me again. Someday I'll get over him snapping my 2004 Perfect Streak. That'll probably be the day that I remember that McNabb cost me too.
Super Bowl XLI- Bears v. Colts
Miami, FL
No drama in this week's picks. It's Da Bears, all the fucking way.
My Payton throwback jersey came in on Monday. Nena orderd the Malnati's yesterday. Today, I continue to count heads for this year's Super Bowl Party (12th year out of 13 that I've thrown one.)
This one's going to be different. This isn't the first one in '95. There won't be as much food as in '97. This won't be as cool as when we hooked up a projector and watched the game on the wall in '01. This won't be as bizarre as when I ran a pool for HS students in '02 or '03. But this one's going to be special. Because my team is actually in it. All those other times, I had to work hard to be interested in the game, or identify with Minervacat or Underdog or Al...and their team's quest for a ring. But this time, it's me.
Faith people. It's a hard thing to swallow sometimes. But then again...it's worth it.

It is possible that Al could pick the Colts... even though they *are* from Indiana...
So will Nena let you throw plastic spoons at the tv? Or do you think you'll have to keep her from throwing real ones if things aren't going your way?
see
that was never really my thing
truth be told, i never really understood the whole point
It seems either may dyslexic picking of the Giants in the first round or my blatantly picking against the Bears because everyone else picked them last round has been removed from the board...
I was going to suggest that Curzer has to bet something against a certain pearl wearing staffer, but:
1) She's not even from Indiana.
2) WTF does Indiana have to offer anyway?
i thought about making a bet with her
but
yi thought better of it
because i might lose
not that i'm against paying up
it's just that i'm against paying up to someone who is a fan of a team because she thinks the starting qb is "dreamy"
i'm totally gonna get in trouble for saying that
aren't i?
...a limo, a cooler, the return of Windex, Anya, and Meghan next December. We're going to be in trouble for so much more my friend.
I had the same thought, actually.
Let's get this over with:
I have an ice cream cake being prepared for me at Diary Queen. It shall be decorated in blue and orange and it shall have the word "Rexstacy" on it somewhere.
My Sunday will look something like this:
1. The Boondocks Greatest Hits (while drinking)
2. Trapped in the Closet (while drinking)
3. Superbowl (while drinking)
Somewhere in there will be beer soaked brats and ribs and fries from Joey D's famous Chicago Style Pizzeria.
Do I think the Bears will win? Who knows. I don't really care, actually. I mean, I care, but I'm honestly happy that a certain team from a certain Midwestern town that begins with a C, ends with an O, and has a HICAG in the middle has made it this far.
I'm also happy to report what will undoubtedly be the final score of the SuperBowl
Bears: 513.4
Colts: -10
Apparently the best intelligence available says the Colts will take it, but if gave a damn about the best intel I wouldn't be staring the down the barrel of a possible second ring. I'll take the Bears (even if I wouldn't mind seeing Dungy win one).
