ok ... my wife is not a big sports fan ... she'll watch a game now and again with me, but doesn't really follow a team ... and she was a military brat, so moved around a lot (she has claimed allegiance to the Vikings because her family on her mom's side is all from Minnesota ... and because she likes the purple color)

anyway, she does participate in her office football pool because she figures (rightly so) it is all luck so her random, non-sports fan guesses are as good as anyone else's

for the past couple of years she has made her picks based on which uniform color she likes best ... she won her office pool several times using this method, and this of course made some of her co-workers not the happiest of campers

now that you know the story, here is her pick for the Super Bowl:

Steelers win it all

why?

because they are the only non-bird team in the final 4 (Cardinals Eagles and Ravens, oh my!)

so there ya go

Can't argue with that logic. I'm not sure I like the idea of them adding a 6TH ring, but at least the 9ers and Cowgirls could go eat a d*ck.

so, the wife was right ... and was quite funny doing a slightly inebriated, or maybe just tired, "neener-neener" dance (apologies for not having a video)
