Peter King and SI Writers make their picks

[ALP]

Good a place as any to put this.

ESPN asked 100 random celebrities (and I do mean random) to make their picks:

It was quite interesting to see who picked the Giants, and why. Bloomberg's comments about who the "better team" is were particularly enlightening, mayor of NYC or not.

if u really know the facts....just look at the scores

about half the ppl chose NE, the other half chose NY....but look at the scores...

those choosing NE gave 3-25 pt margins, usually at least a 14 pt margin...

those choosing NY gave a 1-7 pt margin of victory, with many saying that the pats lose by only one point...

Anyone else find it ironic that a guy named "Hack" picked the Giants to win?

Z needs to be Put out to Pasture, or the glue factory.

Lots of good celeb links. I remember when she went out with Bo Belinsky. A nickel for anybody who gets that reference.

Seau's just a baby compared to Mamie Van Doren, 76 years young



Patriots, 28-7. The New England Patriots are a cross between a symphony orchestra and a steam roller. Every player plays his part as they flatten their opponents.

Zimmerman is a real idiot sometimes. In fact, I have one real problem with something he wrote - or didn't write - earlier this season, but more on that later.

...aging, tiring, depressed and despondent ...

I suspect he's saying this somewhat in jest, but if I didn't know better, I'd think he was describing himself.

For an aging, tired depressed, and despondent defense, I love how the Patriots defense hasn't given up a TD in the last 6 quarters against the Chargers (one of the most athletic teams in the league, even without Tomlinson) and the Jags (the dreaded uber-physical team that everyone was afraid to play heading into the playoffs ... remember, Z?)

Also, seriously, what is with all the talk about the Giants playing better football lately than anyone? Maybe relative to their own abilities...? They beat Tampa solidly but barely scraped by Dallas and Green Bay, and frankly, I would probably take the Chargers and Jags over any of those teams. Pats beat Jags by double-digits and could have done the same to San Diego but chose to run out the clock. Interesting stuff.

LOL. Maybe 1 in 10 sounded as if they actually watch football. I dunno who Martina McBride is, but she's in the 1/10th

Must get really boring around ESPN.

Is she REALLY over 70????

If so, I would have to say that she is, by far, the most sexy 70 year old chick... EVER.

I would have NEVER thought that I would EVER say that either.

I would have said 40 instead.
