Director of Central Intelligence Gen. Mike Hayden has become a divisive figure, for overseeing warrantless wiretapping, for helping produce a controversial intelligence estimate on Iran's nukes, for his seeming ignorance of the 4th amendment, and for ordering an investigation into his own Inspector General.

But Hayden may have made his most contentious move yet: he's picked the New York Giants to win the Super Bowl.

ESPN.com asked a number of celebrities how they thought Sunday's game would turn out. Hayden's response:

Giants, 28-24. The spread favors the Pats, but careful intelligence work looks beyond the obvious. The Giants are hot now. Three playoff wins on the road (like the Steelers before Super Bowl XL). Regular season finale shows they match up well against the Pats. Besides, nobody's perfect!

Which reminds me: Go Big Blue!

(High five: Haninah)
