Well, I Guess The Coast Is Clear, So Here's My Super Farce XLIX Prediction -- s ...

I probably would've broken my record for posts in a month if the NFL hadn't told these Cheats and Thugs to settle it down for a while...

But, now that it looks as if the coast is clear, I'm going to make my prediction.

And I'm going to add a few more on the day in general.

--

I picked Seattle to win at the beginning of the season (and picked New England in the AFC as well) for one very particular reason -- this is the direction the NFL wishes to go...

A bunch of cheating thugs who basically hop around like they are meth-laced inner-city gangbangers at about age 12.

And, until the last 13 days or so, I stood behind that prediction, especially due to the fact that it was clear that a league-ordered lay-down on the part of the Green Bay Packers was the only way to recover the SeaHags to get them into Cheat Bowl XLIX.

And when New England walked all over Indianapolis for it's sixth Super Bowl in the Belichick Era, I kinda felt they'd be the Good Guys.

Less than six hours later, DeflateGate hits, the league dawdles, and all feasible discussion on the game grinds to a summary halt!!

You now have a situation that, according to SportsNation, through Brian Tuohy's (non-)prediction (he's only predicting record-breaking TV numbers -- he's making no call on the result!) (and please enjoy the porn stars making fools of themselves again) that, out of a million votes, the Seahawks actually have more people cheering for them by a statistically-significant margin.

In fact, the only states cheering for the Pats are New England states and NFC strongholds like Arizona, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota, and Wisconsin.

This game could really go either way, as Brian notes.

You get Seattle, and they get a dynasty for their fans of Football Over All, the hopped-up nature of play and mouth they have purported, and the Rise of the NFL Bully will no longer be deniable.

You get New England, and, yes, you'll get DeflateGate and the Associate Commissioner, but New England gets to go on that Mount Rushmore they probably were destined to do since Spygate.

So, at the end of the game, who is the league going to want to win.

Well, I know this, I might very well be wrong here.

I mean, look at Seattle a second:

• Thug players
• Dirty players
• A philosophy of dirty play
• Rampant drug use
• Corrupt coach
• Big mouths
• Fans who value the NFL more than everyone else's life
• As a friend of mine said, the NFL (with Robert Kraft) getting it's hand caught in the cookie jar AGAIN
• Could Russell Wilson's comment about God guiding the Green Bay game be indicative of another Tim Tebow-mania?

Now look at New England

• A friend with benefits
• Corrupt coach -- just not as open as Carroll
• All-American
• White boy Q-Rating quarterback who is believed drug-free
• If they lose, they'll be the first team to lose five Super Bowls
• The league owns the players, and Marshawn Lynch won't knuckle under that.
• Boston fan base -- need I say more?

It's basically, if you take everything on balance and remove any personal matters from the scale (fan of a rival, etc.), almost a toss-up.

So, in making the call, I finally looked at that this year, more than any, has been a "circle the wagons" year for the owners, and the players aren't liking a lot of what the owners are wanting to do.

So here are a number of predictions, many of which could well go wrong.  On Sunday:

• We will have a major incident.  One or more of the predictions below may qualify, but I do believe we will have a major incident at this Super Bowl to disgrace this league and this football nation -- something both most richly deserve.
• We will have the first Super Bowl ejection.
• We will have a major fight at some point in the game.  It won't matter who starts it.
• Katy Perry will show a lot of skin.
• I won't mind that.  Katy may be a kayfabe ditz, but she's hot.
• The Concerned Mommies of America will mind.
• They'll also mind about Marshawn Lynch after he goes off...
• A major no-call will decide a Super Bowl in which the team which gets away with more will win...

And I predict that team will be the Patriots, because their time is running out (insert propaganda reason here -- whether that propaganda is from the NFL itself, the media, or the US Government), Marshawn Lynch will not behave and Robert Kraft is an inside friend of the family (in a year where the owners are circling wagons against the players and everybody else, etc.

Please...  Katy, somebody...  Make fools out of this league.
