Larry Jezek sent me the following about his Super Bowl prediction…
Pretty much yours, though with much added effort put into the preceding weeks up to game day.
My personal annual goal is to make it to Superbowl Sunday without having a clue as to which two teams are playing.Achieved this goal last year, but it's not that easy.
So thank you Taylor Swift for killing the dream in me this year, but at least I still have some small comfort, having no idea which Kansas City will have a parade if they win.
I think I've got you beat this time, Larry. I know the game is in Las Vegas because I'm tuned into a number of websites and podcasts that cover Las Vegas and they're all talking about what a mess it's going to be and how the price of a hotel room is about the same as the cost of building a hotel these days.
But I have no idea what teams are playing. I know Taylor Swift is involved with some player on some team and you suggest it's one team from each of two Kansas Cities playing…but I couldn't tell you the names for those teams if you covered me in soy sauce and released a pack of rabid badgers.
I'm sure I've heard the team names and all my friends say I have a great memory…but it just refuses to absorb certain kinds of information and that list includes anything having to do with football. The only two football games I've ever watched in my life were the finales of The Longest Yard and a Marx Brothers movie.
