Celebrities pick the Super Bowl winner

Who is going to win the big game between the Arizona Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Steelers?

Here are some predictions from celebrities:

MAYA ANGELOU, poet and author: Arizona, 27-16, because the Cardinal bird is so poetic.

MIKE HAYDEN, CIA director: Pittsburgh, 27-17. The Cardinals are on a roll, but it’s tough playing against a team of destiny. Blocking is blocking, and tackling is tackling.

PLACIDO DOMINGO, opera star: Pittsburgh, 31-17.


ROSEANNE BARR, comedienne: The great prognosticator from the Pitch Dark Ages, Nostradumbass, (not to be confused with his more famous cousin with a similar name) has prophesied: “When the small but mighty red bird who has floundered for ages in the desert confounds the proud prophets of the Pigskin Council and soars into the Ceremonial Bowl that is most mighty, the haughty warriors of Steel from The East shall be humbled and the multitudes and moneychangers will be vexed and chastened … Translation: Arizona, 24-21

BARRY WILLIAMS, Greg on “The Brady Bunch”: Arizona, 31-27. They will surprise everyone.

JUDY TENUTA, comedienne: Hot throbbing studcicle quarterback/comeback king, Kurt Warner (along with feisty receiver Larry Fitzgerald) will blast through the Steelers’ killer defense led by beefy burrito Troy Polamalu and big Ben Roethlisberger, powering the Cardinals to their first Super Bowl victory in 60 years. It could happen!

TED GIANNOULAS aka SAN DIEGO CHICKEN: Arizona, 29-24. This is a no bird-brainer. They’ve got the hot hands in Warner and Fitz, their coach knows Pittsburgh as their assistant for 6 years and they’ve had easier playoffs, making them fresher for their beak, er, peak run.

SCOTT ADAMS, “Dilbert” cartoonist: Pittsburgh, 21-14. Clearly a steelworker could stomp a bird to death.

CARL LEWIS, Olympic track star: I’m boycotting talking about the Super Bowl. I’m still irate about the Eagles.

DENNIS MILLER, comedian: Obama with 52.7 percent.
