Boy, I was way off. In my 1999 Super Bowl prediction (“Green Eggs And Ham,” January 1999), not only did I not pick the Broncos to win the Super Bowl, I arrogantly asked “Denver who?” I extend my sincerest apologies to all those who wore a horse-shaped hat for weeks after the Broncos’ thrilling victory.
I suppose it had to happen. I did so well predicting the outcome of last year’s Super Bowl — including the exact score. I guess I got a little cocky. I figured I could pick just about any team I wanted, and will them to Super Bowl victory! So, based on uniform colors — I love purple and aqua — I picked Minnesota and Jacksonville. Of course, neither team made it to the Super Bowl.
