I can’t say I was sorry to see Indy go, but I’m truely puzzled by San Diego. It’s gonna be one hell of a game. ---

I’d be more than happy to be even more wrong than I am currently. ---

Dude, I hope more than you can possibly imagine that you are incorrect about the score. Hack the 3 off of New England and make it 38-5. That’s more in line with what I want to see. Congratulations, welcome to the small pantheon of (lucky) prognosticators. Next year I’ll be the first two-time winner, if only because I’m the only one to have the stones to go with the Steelers every single year. ---

And I hope you are right about that score…would make for a very exciting game. Congratulations. Do I have to Fed Ex the Crown back to you? Or do you give out new ones each year? (I am very glad I previewed this post. I had orginally written something else, but for some reason the result ended up looking like this) :::::passing Crown to Hal:::::::: :eek: I think that might be another type of contest!
