LANGLEY, VA – Members of the U.S. intelligence community held a press conference today to report that one of their analysts not only successfully predicted the results of Sunday's Super Bowl XLVII, but accurately made his prediction more than five years ago!
Even more amazing, the analyst has never watched a football game and knew absolutely nothing about football prior to his being assigned to the American-Rules Football Desk at the Central Intelligence Agency.
"Well, when we first hired Analyst "Jay" [not his real name] in 2007 he told us that he really wanted to work the Baseball Desk, since he'd been playing baseball ever since he was a kid and totally loved the sport," said an anonymous highly-placed CIA official.
"Unfortunately our Baseball Desk was already full and we only had authorization to staff the Football Desk."
