the blindspot: For the record : SuperBowl predictions

When an subject is controversial, one cannot hope to tell the truth. One can only show how one came to hold whatever opinion one does hold. One can only give one's audience the the chance of drawing their own conclusions as they observe the limitations, the predjudices, the idiosyncracies of the speaker.

For the record : SuperBowl predictions

Wow, the two biggest football fans in my family root for the Steelers and Seahawks respectively. At thanksgiving, and again at Christmas,(like every year) there was talk that the two could reach the superbowl...wish I had bet on that this time around. Well anyway, here we are. Now I must admit that I don't really like either team but I will be cheering for the Steelers. That said, I want to know why they are favored. Seattle clearly had the better season, has the MVP, and the defense with the most big plays. Vegas is favoring a wild card team to beat them in the big game and I have no idea why. I will be cheering for the Steelers, but in the interest of being right, my prediction is:
Seahawks 33, Steelers 20

After deep introspection, I can only say that I have lived a comparatively short and generally boring life. To get the obvious but necessary content out of the way, we can start by saying that I was born into an average American, middleclass family (2 kids, dog, house, ect.) and spent the next 18 years living with them in sunny, beautiful upstate New York. The area I lived in had very bad public schools, so I attended private Christian schools, where I learned the usual academic stuff (which I wish I could remember) along with a lot of catholic theology (which I wish I could forget). My father is an auto mechanic who taught me that there is no shame and working with your hands and that you should only do what you love. At 18, I decided on a whim to go to Boston University. There I learned that you solve problems with detailed analysis, logical execution, and hard work, or just tons of money and a lot of bureaucracy. So being broke and hating paperwork, I learned the skills that I hope will make me successful in the future
