Day 23: Pack it up.

Significant moment of the day: I FINALLY watched Lord of the Rings after about 3 months of wanting to watch it.

No help from Sarah, btw. I watched a portion of the Two Towers on TNT today and then visited two of my favorite people at IC, who are conveniently living in the same apartment with the same name :) and convinced them to watch the first half of the first movie. Good times, good times.

Also significant moment of the day? THE JETS LOSING! ne ner ne ner. I'm mature i know.

Anyways.......discussion of the day? My pick for the superbowl champion.

So on day 16, I predicted the Superbowl game would be Packers vs. Steelers. and I was right! Today, I predict my champion Superbowl pick:

The Packers.

To be fair, the Packers season was 10-6, while the Steelers was 12-4. But records aren't everything. However, the Packers have won the most Superbowl championships in NFL history. Their last victory was in 1996, which makes me think they are due for another win. Yes, the Steelers won two years ago, and have a record of star seasons these past few years. But thats also their weakness. They get cocky. Not as cocky as some teams hemjetshem, but they do tend to boast. Hey with their records, who can really blame them?

But in the end, I think a lot of people are underestimating the Packers. In the playoffs, they defeated the Eagles, and the Falcons (both of which were division leaders). During regular season, they were strong contenders against some of the strongest teams in the NFL;beating the Jets and the Giants among others.

So in conclusion, if the Packers pull it off this season, i'll be cheesin'.
