Editor's note: Each day we ask a celebrity at the Super Bowl five questions. Yesterday, Bill Burt spoke to former Giants quarterback Jesse Palmer, 29, who is better known as "The "Bachelor" (No. 5) on ABC-TV. Palmer, who played five years in the NFL, is currently a college football analyst for ESPN and covers pro football for TSN, a Canadian sports network.
I realize you might be biased but who will win on Sunday, the Patriots or Giants?
"A few weeks ago I thought differently. I thought the Patriots all the way. But I'm not so sure now since I've been around these guys lately. They are as loose as I've ever seen a Giants team. They've always had talent, but now they believe in themselves. They are on a roll. It's like a metamorphosis took place. Let's just say, I wouldn't be surprised if the Giants won it."
Do you miss being a pro football player?
"Oh, man, big time. I would love to be with the Giants right now, going through this. When I was there, this is what we talked about, getting to and winning the Super Bowl. I miss being around the guys a lot."
What happened with your breakup with "The Bachelor" winner Jessica Bowlin?
"It just never worked out. I was not in it to get married, anyway. I looked at it as an opportunity to meet some great ladies. We just weren't meant for each other."
I thought the show's premise was for you to find a wife?
"No, not me. I never looked at it that way. It was a great experience. But it's no way to find a wife, trust me."
Was "The "Bachelor" experience worth it?
"Absolutely. I didn't do it for anything other than the experience but it probably helped out my television career. I am from Canada so working for TSN is great. And ESPN is a great place, too. 'The Bachelor' was good to me."
