These are completely worthless and full of fluff, but every year YOUR local sports page tracks down a list of "Celebrities" who offer their Super Bowl picks. In this case, I'm stealing/quoting from the Rocky Mountain News:

JEB BUSH, Florida governor:
New England, because I went to high school with Bill Belichick! 27-20.
...and he probably kicked the shit out of you in high school.

SEN. JOHN McCAIN, R-Ariz.:
Patriots 28-12. A champion is always a champion until defeated.
..or until they don't make the playoffs, like the Pats in 2002.

RETIRED GEN. TOMMY FRANKS, U.S. Army:
New England wins by 21 points because they play the game as a team, and teamwork wins every time.
Armor and firepower also helps

CHARLIE SHEEN, actor, Two and a Half Men:
New England. They don't make mistakes (and are) perfectly coached. 38-17.
WTF? He's creditted as "Actor, Two and a Half Men" and NOT as "Rick Vaughn"?

WILLIAM SHATNER, actor, Boston Legal:
New England 35-22. I saw a hummingbird outside my window this morning and that was the key to my prediction.
Of course...because Hummingbirds signify.....
Again, not creditted as "TJ Hooker" or "Capt. Kirk"> For shame! That's like creditting Henry WInkler as "Actor, Night Shift" and NOT as "Fonzie from Happy Days!"

JENNIE FINCH, Olympics gold medalist, softball:
New England 24-14. Tom Brady is a great leader and one of, if not the, best quarterback in the NFL. Plus, the Patriots have great colors!
I'm sorry...was I supposed to be READING that? Knowing that I've just copied n' pasted a Jennie Finch quote gives me a chubby. Even her text is purty.

FREDDY ADU, pro soccer player:
Eagles 27-21. The Philadelphia Eagles are going to win the Super Bowl and Donovan McNabb is going to take them there.
He's already "taken them there", butt-cheese! Whatever, at least this type of championship game wont end in a fucking 1-0 score.

DENNIS FARINA, actor, Law & Order, who has picked the past three winners:
Patriots 24-21. They are very adaptable. They make great adjustments whoever they're playing.
Ray Bones kicks ass.

AL LEWIS, actor, Grandpa on The Munsters:
The Patriots by at least two touchdowns (because of) Belichick.
Yes, but who did Butch Patrick pick?!

JOAN JETT, rock star:
Philadelphia. I was born in Philly and I don't like Tom Brady's politics. 35-28.
Huh? Politics? Get back to me when you get some breasts, ya' skank.

BOB WEIR, guitarist, Grateful Dead/Ratdog:
New England 30-18. They're a real complete team. Belichick is the reincarnation of Bill Walsh.
Bill Walsh is DEAD?!

PEDRO MARTINEZ, pitcher, New York Mets:
Patriots 24-10. I've always loved Romeo Crennel's defenses.
Yes, and they play a FULL GAME, too, Petey!

DICK VITALE, college basketball announcer:
Patriots 27-20. Tom Brady's mentality, he's the Derek Jeter of football.
Except, unlike Jeter, he's playing for the championship.

ROB "Vanilla Ice" VAN WINKLE, singer:
New England 38-21. Philly needs T.O. and a lot more.
Trying to desperately grab some "Street cred" with his slang use of "T.O".

DUSTY "The American Dream" RHODES, professional wrestler:
New England 24-10. The Patriots are a machine like the 49ers were in the 1980s.
His verdict annonced only after several hours of consulting with Traci and Trinity.

TED GIANNOULAS, San Diego Chicken:
Sad to say, it's a bad year for bird teams vs. Beantown. First the Cardinals get bagged by the BoSox and now the Pats will pick on the Eagles. New England 32-19 because Bill Belichick is the smartest kid in class.
He's sticking to the BIRD GIMMICK and hasn't been the chicken for years! That's a professional!


PENN JILLETTE, Penn & Teller:
Patriots 37-17. The Eagles are looking to defeat tyranny; the Patriots just want to win. Bill Belichick has figured out how to get 111 percent from his players. Alliterative coaches are undefeated against nonalliterative coaches in the Super Bowl. Under the Patriot Act, it's actually treason if the Eagles win.
Greatest stat since 1995's "No guy named Yancy has ever caught a TD pass in the Super Bowl".

...and finally....

BARON VON RASCHKE, professional wrestler:
Philadelphia, because three out of four is hard to come by, as we Nebraska Cornhusker fans know all too well. Also, the Eagles look too hungry to be denied, so they will win in a close one, 24-21.

And 'dat is all da' people need ta' know!!

DENNIS FARINA, actor, Law & Order, who has picked the past three winners:
Patriots 24-21. They are very adaptable. They make great adjustments whoever they're playing.

So he gets it right.

Dam another season so close, but failed. At least I got my Eagles NFC champion shirt, but I'm defiently gonna take heat in school today. I'm so sick of this Boston/New England dynasty. Please don't tell me Celtics win NBA title. Patriots win 3/4, Redsox win. This is ridiculous.

Pfft... fucking losers. 1997 is the only year nothing happend. Stanley Cup in 1994, NBA Finals Appearences in 1994, 1999, and any time the Nets lost, Worlds Series in 1996, 1998, 1999, 2000, World Series appearences in 2001 and 2003, Superbowl XXXVII, 2004 Stanley Cup Playoffs.

New York/Tampa Bay >>>>>>>>>>>>> Baw-ston and Shitsylvania.

The 1997 "nothing happened in New York" season was, of course, the Greatest Fucking Season in the History of the NFL. Among other things, the Giants suprisingly won their division that year (but got trounced in the playoffs).

Of course, eastern "Shitsylvania" was home to the Greatest Fucking Football Team in the History of the NFL. 4 titles in 6 years. A good chunk of the Hall of Fame has passed through eastern PA. Joe Namath, Joe Montana, Dan Marion, Johnny Unitas (pronounced "un-eh-toss" when he was with the Stillers), etc.

I can't help hating the Boston and Penn. teams. I have natural dislike for them like fat people dislike diet food.
