[Sarcasm] I am shocked... shocked I tell you to find that Peter King thinks the Patriots will win Super Bowl XLIV [/Sarcasm]
OK, maybe not. But is is shocking to find that Brett Favre isn't picked to make it as a Viking, I suppose...
For those of you who haven't seen it, PK and CNNSI have decided it will be the Patriots over the Bears in the next Super Bowl.
I actually think this is a good thing, since the Steelers play better with a chip on their shoulder.
The only thing that grates on me a little is PK somehow has it figured that the Chargers are coming into Heinz field, and WINNING.
Hmmm... when was the last time that happened???
How is it that the Chargers get picked EVERY freakin year for good things? This is the most under-achieving football franchise of all time... The writers just don't get it. The fans are getting it -- they are facing some blackouts this year because the can't sell tickets... but somehow, every year, the Chargers are gonna be contenders...
I don't get it. OK, Merriman is back. That helps. But LT is fading, and the one thing the playoff game against Pittsburgh showed was that Sproles is no feature back. Without LT being a threat, Rivers (aka The Jackanape) is not going to have the year he had last year...
Anyway... if yu want to see how the geniuses at SI have it figured, the link is: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/football/nfl/09/01/main/index.html?eref=T1

Chargers
When you play in a pop warner league like the AFC Worst and win the division every year it makes the team look a lot better than they are. Chargers looked good in pre-season. But pre-season don’t mean SH!T
Bring a towel to the game. Black or gold or yellow. If you don't have one buy one, If you can't buy one, dye one!!!
Who Cares
I don’t want hype. We underperform with it. Leave all the preseason awards to the rest of the league.
By the way picking the pats is not all that crazy. They are the odds on favortie to win it.
That also is retarded
Again they are what 4 years removed from a SB win, and their QB is getting older, looking fragile’ like a Leg Lamp, and they have a tough schedule.
I honestly dont mind that we get ignored. I’d just like people to take the pats penis out of their mouths for once.
Da' Bears, really? Come on now
Seriously, how can anyone think the Bears will make it to the Super Bowl? Granted they will probably do decently, but they have a QB in the first year with the team, no receivers, and a Defense that is never healthy.
maybe he picked the Pats because they're good at football?
but really, getting worked up about pre-season predictions is just giving yourself heartburn for no reason – so much is based on luck and chance in the NFL that any specific prediction is essentially meaningless.
The last time the Chargers came into Pittsburgh and won...
was Alfred Pupunu’s big night out. So it can happen.
Anyway, picking the Bears to win the Super Bowl is more ridiculous then picking the Steelers to lose in the Divisional Round. The Bears were garbage last year and they picked up a QB that hasn’t won anything/anywhere since high school. Now that’s a winning formula.

Kinda glad
Now we wont have to worry about the pats, SI’s predictions hasn’t bared fruit in years.
I’m predicting the pats being 8-8 or perhaps 9-7 at best this year
Wondering the same thing
A guy named Jack who was raised an ape?

It just came out
The first time I saw him chattering on the sidelines, the word popped into my head (from somewhere).
Then I looked it up:
Jackanape \Jack"a*nape\, n.
1. A monkey; an ape.
2. an impudent or conceited man.
His picture should be in the dictionary next to this…
Peter King
has a man crush on Brady and Cutler. Whatever. He also thinks Ziggy Hood is the next Casey Hampton. Case closed.
The only managing Ben does is he manages to WIN games
Why are you shocked? They are going to win the World Series and NBA Championship as well.
You have to hate losing more than you love winning.
Uh, folks, it's a website.
They get ad rev by the hit. I suspect King knows how much his hit count will increase if he disses the darling of Steeler Nation, right? By the same token, Da Bearss Fanss will be clickin’ his link and telling all their friends about it.
Peter King, meh…
My heros have always been Steelers...
I’m pretty sure Time Warner, who owns Sports Illustrated, aren’t really worried about this one article generating hits. So I’m pretty sure Peter King doesn’t give a rats ass either.
I like Peter Kings writing. He thinks the Bears have a good defense and Jay Cutler is a great quarterback who will have a big impact on the team. He thinks the Patriots have a lot of talent, are well coached, and probably the best quarterback in the game. Those opinions aren’t exactly a huge stretch.
Imagine the hem and haw he would have generated last year if he had picked the Cardinals.
Woodson did
I like PK’s writing too… except when he goes off on his man-crushes. I guess he feels betrayed by Favre. Brady is his new man…
King is high on the NFC North
with Jay cutler, Aaron Rodgers, and of course his mancrush Brett Farve, King has 3 teams from the NFC North in the playoffs, and two of them in the NFC title game. Five total playoff victories for the NFC North this year?
That helps explain the Steelers and Ravens’ respective 11-5 and 9-7 records in this prediction since they both play the division this year. While wrong in my opinion, this prediction is consistent at least. He also predicts Steelers/Ravens and Colts/Texans playoff matchups. Interesting.
I will say that if the Steelers beat the Ravens wildcard weekend and then lost the next week to San Diego, that’s not a horrible way to go out. Better that than get beat by the pats. Ok I don’t like where this line of thinking is leading. This year is time for revenge on the pats.
"It was an attrition football game and you know we like that."
I just dont like PK
I hate him and he stanks. Hes arrogant, ignorant, and likes Brett Favre and the pats too much. Plus he says a lot of generic bullshit that doesnt mean much of anything. And talks about his stupid life way more than I care about.
He's like

He's a good writer
I don’t know about ignorant. But I agree about him writing on parts of his life no one cares about. Like writing about travel aggravations and coffee nerdness… He always sounds like a whiny little 13 year old girl when he is complaining about how hotels mistreated him…
