From TheState.com:
Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice’s travels usually take her to far-flung capitals, but this weekend she plans a journey closer to home and close to her football fan’s heart.
Rice will attend Super Bowl XL in Detroit, and she’s picking Pittsburgh to win — even though she doubted the Steelers in their run-up to Sunday’s game against the Seattle Seahawks.
“I picked Pittsburgh to beat Cincinnati. I have picked against them every game since,” Rice ruefully told reporters Tuesday. “I’m not picking against them again.”
That’s not to say she has become a real Steelers fan. Rice is loyal to the Cleveland Browns.
Rice, who can rattle off football statistics and history with ease, has said she might one day like to be NFL commissioner.
She attended one previous Super Bowl, in 1985, when she was teaching at Stanford and the game between the Miami Dolphins and San Francisco 49ers was in Palo Alto, Calif.
