Super Bowl Prediction

Using an algorithm unknown even to the folks at google, I have a Super Bowl prediction:


Green Bay 23, Pittsburgh, 20.

It will actually be 23-13 until the last two minutes, when Pittsburgh scores, but too little, and too late.

I don't really have a horse in this race. I normally pull for the Steelers because Heinz Ward is one of my all time favorite Georgia Bulldogs. However, today I will remain neutral through the first half. If that molester of a QB is still in the game after that, I'll pull for the Pack. What I'd like to see is a change at QB and the backup rely on Ward to secure a Pittsburgh victory and another MVP for Heinz.

I would not normally base a choice on such as that, but you may find a clue to my enhanced disgust with that piece of trash in my sig.

That wouldn't be by the Duckworth Lewis Method, would it? (English joke)

I predict that the winner will be Jerry Jones who makes a gazillion bucks off his new stadium.

C'mon - Stap. Anybody can tell the score before the match starts - zero to zero.The trick is being able to predict what the score will be after the game has ended.

I'll take the "under" on that 23/20 prediction. I'm thinking 9/6 Green Bay.

Explanation of the "Unwritten" rules pertaining to Cricket.


Hopefully Wobbly will come in and explain the "Unwritten" rules- but Cricket is a very fair game with no underhanded dealings and no Cheating (Unless you play for a certain Country where they go all out to thrash the Brits at their own game by any Means possible)

So as Cricket is a Very "Fair" game- Anything that is not- is "Not Cricket"

Did you have this in mind?

You have two sides, one out in the field and one in. Each man that's in the side that's in goes out, and when he's out he comes in and the next man goes in until he's out. When they are all out, the side that's out comes in and the side thats been in goes out and tries to get those coming in, out. Sometimes you get men still in and not out. When a man goes out to go in, the men who are out try to get him out, and when he is out he goes in and the next man in goes out and goes in. There are two men called umpires who stay out all the time and they decide when the men who are in are out. When both sides have been in and all the men have out, and both sides have been out twice after all the men have been in, including those who are not out, that is the end of the game!

Not a prediction, just a hope. My dark side checks in with the hope that a certain ****** gets a Joe Theismann.

One of our better informed members had the following to say about the SB and I agree completely.

Yes, it means the same thing in American. However, in the context it seemed more amusing to take it literally.
