Well folks, its been a while since I posted about Princess, the prognosticating camel of Popcorn Park Zoo, in Lacy Township.Her current record for picking winners this season stands at an impressive 11W - 9L. So far this season Princess has a predicted the outcome of 10 Jets games and has accumulated a mediocre 5-5 record thus far. In the last 3 game against the Steelers (regular season), Colts and Patriots (playoffs), Princess has chosen against the Jets and lost.
For todays playoff game that determines who will play in the Superbowl on Sunday February 6th, Princess has once again picked against the Jets, preferring the Steeler's "Steel Curtain" and it's quarterback Ben Roethlisberger against the high flying Jets and Marc Sanchez.
When asked by her handler John, why she has chosen against the Jets again this week, seemingly out of disrespect for the Jets coach Rex Ryan, Princess had this to say:
"...John, Rex Ryan inconspicuous? He's is about as inconspicuous as a turd in a punchbowl. You wait ... he’ll be putting his “Foot” in his mouth before Sundays game.
Really John, I give the Jets a lot of credit, but I don’t think the they're are going to intimidate the Steelers Quarterback like they did Brady. And big Ben should get the Steelers in position to win late in the game...."
Will Princess's pick this week turn out to be right? If so, than it means that the Jets will be heading home empty handed, for the second straight year after making it to AFC Championship game.
For Jets fans sake I hope she is wrong. After all the local hype over the Jets, if they loose, I think there will be many fans ready to jump off the nearest bridge.
For me personally, if the Jets todays game game against the Steelers, it just keeps me from being bored and disinterested over the next few weeks until pitcher and catchers report for spring train.
So today I'm a J-E-T-S , Jets, Jets, Jets fan. Lets go Gang Green !

It looks like an old-school Super Bowl with the Packers and Steelers. They are good-but-not-great teams, both building up early leads today but not able to close the deal until late in the 4th quarter. So the SB should be entertaining and competitive, providing a lot of good memories to get us through the 2011 season which will be cancelled because of the CBA strike/lockout.
I agree, but you shouldn't categorize the upcoming NFL labor dispute as a strike.
The players have made it clear that they wish to play next year, they did not trash or reopen the their contract with the league, it was the owners that did.
The work stoppage will fall directly onto the owners, with a lockout, not the players by striking.
