Rice Bucks Bears, Takes Colts in Superbowl

ABC News’ Kirit Radia Reports: Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, whose passion for democracy may only be rivaled by her fondess for football, told reporters on Friday she’s taking the Colts to win in Superbowl XLI.

At a photo-op with Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov, Rice brushed back questions on Iraq, but couldn’t resist commenting on the biggest game of the season.

Ever the diplomat, Rice observed that she liked both Chicago and Indianapolis but a Colts win would be a "good thing."

There is no evidence to believe Rice doubts the surging power of the mighty Bears defense but, apparently, Madame Secretary prefers a good offense to the league’s best defense.
