Utah ape correctly picked the Super Bowl winner for six straight years....Seattle

[Fabbs]

It was not Karl Malone.
Didn't we hear this type of "X years in a row" story from the Repugnatins who said Mitt was going to get elected?

Ape predicts a Seahawks victory

SALT LAKE CITY -- A Utah ape that has correctly picked the Super Bowl winner for six straight years predicted Thursday that the Seattle Seahawks will be the next NFL champion.

Hogle ZooEli, an ape from Utah, picked the Seattle Seahawks to win the Super Bowl on Thursday. He has correctly picked the Super Bowl winner for six straight years.

Eli the ape ran into an enclosure Thursday morning and swiftly knocked down a papier-mache helmet bearing the Seahawks logo, signaling his pick, said Erica Hansen of Hogle Zoo in Salt Lake City.

"He made his pick without any hesitation," Hansen said.

That could mean bad news for Broncos fans. The 13-year-old primate hasn't been wrong since 2006.

Last year, Eli charged out and knocked over a papier-mache goal post decorated with the Ravens logo. Sure enough, the Ravens beat the 49ers 34-31.

Eli's pick this year drew mixed reactions from his team of zookeepers that include avid Broncos fans.

"They are hoping that this is his first wrong year," Hansen said.

After he made his prognostication, Eli was joined by his mate, Eve, and daughter, Acara, and allowed to smash, play and eat the papier-mache helmets.

Hansen said interest and excitement about Eli's Super Bowl pick has increased as his streak grows. This year, people have been asking daily when he's making his pick.

"He's better than the Vegas odds-makers," Hansen said.

So this year he made an exception by reversing to his natural instincts, and picked Monkeyballing.

Interesting.

This might be the first time in SpursTalk history that a reference to apes was actually about apes.

[irishock]

I legit thought it was going to be a black dude

Well, sadly an ape is better at betting than you know who....

Fabbs=class

boring + flopper + dirty + Fabbs = 4 rings

I think a monkey would pick better than Avante, tbh.

The oddsmakers don't make picks they make the odds.

what's monkeyballing in football? I know in basketball it means any player who dunks instead using the layup, right?

imagine for a moment if you gave a monkey a football? What would said monkey most likely do with that football

[JohnnyMax]

Monkeyballing = athleticism over skill

Safest way to make money: the ape or avante ?

The ape probably reads ST and uses the anti Avante method

[Clipper Nation]

Wow, guess I was right every time I said a monkey flinging at the wall would have a higher success rate than Avante
