Well, it's that time of year again, when I make my Super Bowl Prediction. Each year, I predict the winner based upon the Parseghian Principle: count the number of Notre Dame players on the roster and the team with the most Fightin' Irishmen is going to win. I've been using the Parseghian Principle to predict Super Bowl winners for the last eight years and I've been right every single year except for one. This can be verified via my blog on only the last two Super Bowls, but my brother and my parents will vouch for my pre-Hellhole accuracy.

The only year I messed up was 2001, when the stinking New York Giants let me down. For a brief period, I considered stalking and killing them for messing up my perfect record, like Vincent Gallo's character in Buffalo 66, but first I couldn't decide if it was more Kerry Collins's fault or Ray Lewis's, and then I realized, "Oh yeah, I don't actually care that much". It irks me that there's a blemish on my otherwise-perfect record, but 7-1 in Super Bowl predictions isn't bad. Now, if ESPN would only pay me obscene amounts of money for my sporting prognostications, that'd be something.

All apologies, Elliot, but it's not going your hometown's way this year. The Steelers are going to win. Please understand that I have no vested interest in supporting either team. I'm just telling you what's gonna happen. The Steelers have Jerome Bettis, Notre Dame alumnus and fifth in the NFL's all-time rushing yards rankings. The Seahawks don't have any Fightin' Irishmen, not a single one, so it's going to be the Steelers by at least a touchdown.
