Super Bowl - Celebrities vs. Joe Q. Public

Every year since 1989, Scripps Howard has asked celebrities to predict the winner of the Super Bowl. In 11 of the past 17 years, a majority of the celebrities has picked the right team.

Can they do it again? Will they pick Chicago or Indianapolis to win this year?

More importantly, who do you think is going to win?

Can Peyton Manning lead Indianapolis to its first NFL championship? Or will the vaunted Bears defense corral the high-powered Colts?

Celebrities jumping on Colts' bandwagon

Where are all the Bears fans? In early returns, the celebrities are all over the Colts. What's up with that?

Gonna kick some Bear butt Sunday!

It's all over but the Colts being handed their Superbowl rings. Lovie Smith can stick that Hallas trophy where the sun don't shine because the Colts will win Sunday leaving the Bears to slink off like wounded animals. "Chicago who?" is what America will be saying around watercoolers on Monday. The Colts are going to em-bear-ass the Bears so much that Soldier Field will probably be torn down by Mayor Dailey to build another park for his wife. Either that or the US Olympic Committee will be saying "Chicago where?" right before awarding the Olympic site to Los Angeles! Go Colts, Beary the Bears!

Colts Stampede?

It's official - the celebrities are all over the Colts. Seventy one of the 100 celebrities in Scripps Howard's 18th annual Celebrity Super Bowl Poll picked Indianapolis to beat Chicago.

What do you think? Are the celebrities right or nuts?

WOW

Now that's the way to start a Super Bowl!

Cool introductions

CBS did something innovative, which isn't that easy to do after 40 Super Bowls. The introduction of the starting lineups was sharp, quick and eye-catching.

Manning's nervous, but...

Not the best start for the league's best QB, eh? Not that really matters so early in the game. Manning has proven that no lead is safe.

See!

That didn't take long! When he's on, Manning is amazing. Oops on the extra point, but you can't blame Manning for that.

Brilliant strategy

Don't kick it to Hester anymore, and it worked!

Fumble fingers

Three turnovers and a botched extra point already?!!?? Haven't these guys played in the rain before?

Snickers vs. Sierra Mist

Which commercials were worse? Uggghh

Field goal perfection

Viniateri will never miss...barring a bad snap

Momentum shifting?

Is it turning toward the Colts?

Bears need a drive

The Bears better put something together this drive. They do NOT want to get down too far

SLOPPY

Hard-hitting defenses are one thing, but this is ridiculous. Grossman's many bashers have yet another reason to complain now

Nothing is out of the question

If Viniateri can miss a kick, then absolutely anything can happen in the second half

Can't they count to 11?

Indianapolis fans are hoping that wasting a challenge and a timeout better not come back and haunt the Colts

Inventive imagination

I'm not sure what the Coke ad guys were on, but they have designed the most otherworldly commercials.

Grossman is gross

Bears fans have been ripping on Grossman all year. Now the whole world is seeing why.

Staying alive...

If the Colts had scored a touchdown there, the Bears would have been toast. But by holding Indy to a field goal, Chicago still has a chance. Not much of one, but a chance.

The difference...

Grossman panics under pressure while Manning finds the open man. Still, the Bears are within striking distance. 16:14 to go...

What the heck was that?

One of the ugliest throws in Super Bowl history...

Don't doubt the celebrities

Barring a miraculous comeback by the Bears - and can anyone really see that happening with Rex Grossman at QB - the celebrities will have picked the Super Bowl winner for the fourth straight year and the 12th time out of the 18 Scripps Howard Celebrity Super Bowl Polls. 6:45 and counting...

Turn out the lights...

The party's over...except in Indiana, where it's just beginning

i think there're many links
