I was there, I heard it with my own ears, I even have the video to prove it clearly 4 days ahead of the game; maybe the media had moved on and they missed it, but that doesn't mean we can't gloat:

"... and for the Superbowl ... Willie predicts the Patriots"
[ relayed via Bill Walker, Spin Doctor ]

And did he deliver? You bet he did. Willie'd do the same for the Stanley Cup too ... if'n only we had one.

And why, you ask, did Willie pick the Patriots? Expert statistical analysis? Hot tip from an insider? Nope ...
