Super Bowl Prediction 2009 2010

I believe the Colts will win by 10 points or more for the following reasons.
1) I don’t want the Colts to win, so I know they will :)
2) The Saints live off of turnovers, and the Colts won’t provide them.
3) Even if the Saints score often, they won’t be able to keep pace.
4) The Colts offensive line will give Peyton Manning enough time to dissect the defense.
5) The Colts have a great punter and kicker, while the Saints lack experience in the field goal department.

If the Saints win (highly unlikely) this is the only way they do it is through a combo of a few of these.
-Special Teams
- Punting (pinning deep)
– Great field position from punt and kick returns
-Block kicks
-Create special teams turnovers
-Fakes of any sort

-Offensive Trickery or unpredictability.
-Flee Flickers
-Halfback Throws
-Reverses
-Something the Colts haven’t seen yet

The Colts will win if the Saints play their “normal game” on offense and defense. Therefore the Saints need something extra to put them in position to win. Even if the Saints cash in 2 defensive turnovers and 20 + points, they still lose. The Saints need great field position and the Colts to not have great field position. That is done through Special Teams or an unpredictability/trickery with the offense. Remember how the Jets unpredictable strategy really caught the Colts with their pants down in the first half. Mix that with special teams.

Pro Bowl Prediction:
They move it back to Hawaii, because they couldn’t find enough guys to play the game in Miami. The Pro Bowl weekend should be more competition based, like basketball. Field Goal contest, long throw, 40-yard dash, maybe even a Big Man QB competition?

Cell Phones

In my opinion, cell phones will be and are currently a major contributer to health issues/defects in adults and children who use them.
Let me clarify a bit more. Excessive use of, proximity of storage to body, and type of phone will be major factors. Now where’s my proof? I actually have none. But what good is proof when you compare it with my all time favorite “show me the proof” example, smoking. Americans loved their smoking and wouldn’t quit until there was hardcore proof. How many years did that take? How many smokers continued because they didn’t have the excessive proof they felt was necessary? Now I’m not saying cell phones are as bad as smoking. But I am saying they are assembled overseas in countries with very few regulations. What I am saying is that extended time in close proximity to a device that emits that type of heat, transmits multiple signals, and has actually has made my own brain throb from extended use, sends up 2 red flags. Black Berries and iphones share the commonality of big business with tobacco. It’s not in America’s best interest to slow a thriving business down when it generates a considerable amount of money in a terrible economy. Our GDP is bad enough.

My purpose in writing this is to document what I have been saying sicnce 2001. Cell phones are bad news… very bad news.
