Super Bowl Prognostication

-
It is Thursday before Super Bowl Sunday and it is time to make my prognostication. I think this game could go a couple different directions. I think much of it depends on the location of Eli Manning's head. If it is square on his shoulders, the Giants may keep it fairly close. If it is planted up his butt, it will be ugly. Either way, it will be a historical game to watch. We will see one of two scenarios:

(1) We will see the culmination of a perfect season by what many will argue to be the greatest team in NFL history. No team has ever gone 19-0. It is very possibly we may never see such a feat again in our lifetime.

Or (2) We will witness what will have to be called the biggest upset in Super Bowl history. Even bigger than SB III (Jets over Colts).

So how do I see the game playing out? Well, I just can't go against my gut feeling.

Patriots 38, Giants 24

Super Bowl MVP: Randy Moss - 11 catches, 156 yards, 3 TDs.

Moss has been very quiet during the playoffs. Don't let that fool you. The Chargers and Jaguars both have above average secondaries. I don't think the Giants secondary has a chance against him.

I guess I don't care which team wins. If the Patriots win, they will deserve it. Even if you can't stand Bellichick, Brady, Moss, etc., you have to tip your hat to a 19-0 season.

If the Giants win, they will definitely deserve it, having won all their playoff games on the road, including knocking off both the #1 and #2 overall seeds in their conference, and then defeating a seemingy unbeatable team in the Super Bowl.

But I don't think it will happen. Which means it will, because I am usually wrong.

That's the way I see it.

It's back to work tomorrow.  I am getting the itch to make myself useful again.  I can only be off work for so long and I need to do something.  I could not stay at home all day every day.  It's not for me. So today, since I had the day completely to myself, the task at hand was to do laundry.  And do laundry I did.  As I write this, every article of clothing in the house is clean, folded (mostly) and put away (kind of). My job here is done. While completing the menial task of washing clothes, I had the television on as a distraction.  As usual, since it's not football season, I dialed up Turner Classic Movies. The Singing Nun , starring Debbie Reynolds and Ricardo Montalban, was on, so I casually watched it while waiting for clothes to dry.  Aside from being a nauseating mellow drama, I knew enough about my 1960s music history to know it was based on a true story.  Yes, there really was a singing nun. In fact, we used to have a record of the Singing Nun's bi

I'm not stupid, but I can be a slow learner some times. Other times, I'm a little intimidated to try something new because I'm afraid I'll screw it up - hey, I've got a history. So after we got our new Mac I was really disappointed that it didn't recognize our digital camera.  In the Microsoft world, much of the technology is "plug and play."  Just plug the USB port into your PC and the new gizmo is up and running.  I have found that isn't necessarily the case with a Mac.  (it could also be very possible I'm doing something wrong - hey, I've got a history). I knew when I purchased a Mac that they weren't compatible with some things - it is Bill Gates' world and we just live in it.  Apple is Microsoft's competitor and Microsoft is the giant of the world.  But the payoff to owning a Mac is that you get a fine-oiled machine that just works .  And that's very much proven true so far. But one rainy evening I decided to ge
