ROOSTER PATRIOTS BY 5.5 . . . SANTORUM (I can tell Rooster has made a few bets in his lifetime)

Well Don, what I've been thinking about is an Award for whoever picks it right on the nose.  And Rooster can't win with a prediction of 5.5 unless Obama signs a bill authorizing a half point for whatever.

Suggestion:  If you get it right you win the "Political Poster's PICK OF THE YEAR Award".  It's kind of like being Miss America.  You hold on to your crown till the next Super Bowl.  Benefits:  Not many.  But if an enraged poster disagrees with you, you simply point out that you are the PICK OF THE YEAR (POTY) reciepient.  You get to throw that in their face till next year.

We'll call it the POTY AWARD.

Obama not doing well in this unscientific poll.  But let's face it, you rightys are usually more engaged in politics on a year-round basis.  Come November, our side will be dragging the whole neighborhood down to the polling booth and they will check the results during commercials on American Idol.

Damn lawyers.  Never playing by the rules.

I'm in.

Pats 27-20.

Santorum

Patriots 31-27

Least favorite candidate, tie.  Barack Obama and Hugo Chavez.

Remember the poster(s) with the WORST predictoion has to start a thread after the game or on Monday if you're too drunk, and say 5 legitimate good things abouit the candidate you like the least.

If you predict it right on the nose you will win the PICK OF THE YEAR (POTY) award and get to keep the crown till the next contest on election night.

Anybody else?

i'll say pats by 6, and tell donski i wasnt trying to be perfect

Ok, rooster, Pats by 6, I'll update everything before the kickoff.

A lot of you (and me) are backing the Patriots.  If you're planning to bet real money on the game, aren't you scared that Don Juan has an 11-1 Super Bowl record and he likes the Giants?

3-1 documented ...........

i wish don the best of luck

INTERESTING TIDBITS ABOUT THE VERY FIRST SUPERBOWL GAME PLAYED JANUARY 15, 1967, LOS ANGELES COLISEUM

The first Super Bowl between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Green Bay Packers was called the AFL-NFL WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP GAME.  It wouldn't be called the SUPER BOWL till the third game.

The first Super Bowl game wasn't even sold out.  At the time the Coliseum had 100,000 seats.  Only 61,000 attended the game.  Seems professional football in L.A. has always been a hard sell.

The highest priced ticket for the first Super Bowl game was $12.  And of course you could have gone up to the ticket booth on the day of the game and bought it.  The Los Angeles press complained about the "exorbiant" ticket prices.

Both CBS and NBC brodcasted the game.  Since the game was not sold out, it was BLACKED OUT in Los Angeles.  Can you imagine throwing a Super Bowl party in L.A. and listening to it on the radio? 

Want to see highlights of the game?  You can't.  Both CBS and NBC recorded over the tapes of the game because broadcast tapes were expensive and the game wasn't considered a big thing.

FINAL SCORE:  GREEN BAY 35  KANSAS CITY 10  Bart Starr the MVP
