My Super Bowl prediction was off by one point...

... and, er, off by one team.

Congrats to the Saints. I was hoping they'd win but obviously didn't see them pulling it off.

The one downside was Jeremy Shockey winning the SB. I really can't stand that d-bag.

Is it just me, or did the commercials bite the proverbial large one this year? The best I recall was the Betty White/Abe Vigoda (still alive!) bit. About 20 tied for worst, including a good 15 or so which tried to convince me that it's tough to be a man, and the best route to manhood would be through maintaining my testosterone-fueled individuality, which is done by consuming the products I'm instructed to while literally - in two consecutive commercials - wearing pants when so many others choose not to do so. Talking babies: unfunny, kinda creepy. Babies talking about their stockbrokers: unfunny, make me want to import shake-prone British nannies by the boatload. Where's Sudden Infant Death Syndrome when you need it?

Quizmasterchris' Super Bowl pick

You read it here first, folks.

I would like to see the Saints win their first Super Bowl, what with the team never having won one, what with the post-Hurricane Katrina mess and seeing as they are an NFC team.

On top of this, the Colts franchise did win a Super Bowl pretty recently, and the team did move out of Baltimore in the middle of the night, which is about as terrible a thing as a franchise can do to a fanbase.

All that said, Quizmasterchris peers into the future and sees:

Indianapolis 30, New Orleans 17

Feel free to bet your grandchildren's life savings on that. You could do far worse, you could invest it with an American commercial bank...
