Missed it by THAT much!
Super Bowl XLIII Most Valuable Player Santonio Holmes.
Specifically, I missed nailing my predicted outcome of Super Bowl XLIII by 36 seconds. Need proof? Scroll down to the blog post immediately prior to this one. In it I forecast a Cardinals victory by a final score of 23-20. The prediction looked more like prophesy when Larry Fitzgerald (who by the way went to high school in my hometown of Richfield, MN) took a pass from Kurt Warner and sprinted 64 yards with 2:37 left to put the Cardinals up 23-20. It was almost a supernatural feeling as I watched him fly past the Steelers defenders. Could it be that I actually nailed the final score of the Super Bowl? I was ready to fly to Vegas and capitalize on my Bo-stradamus-like powers until the Steelers burst my bubble with 35 seconds to go.
Alas, Santonio Holmes made an incredible catch to give the Steelers the victory in dramatic fashion. The thoughts of going to Vegas subsided and even though I was no longer a genius I was happy for those friends of mine who are big Steelers fans (cheers J.R. , Jen, and Mike!)
In all, it was a fantastic Super Bowl… the most exciting one I can ever remember. It would have been cool to nail the prediction dead on, but a fantastic game with my wife’s favorite artist as the halftime entertainment (Bruuuuuuuce!) is good enough consolation for me.
