The Youtube Code (Playoff Edition)

by user Enybo

I was looking over Youtube this week and I came across a very astonishing find. Nostradamus created Youtube. How did I uncover this mystery you ask? The proof is in the pudding. After searching for some old time jazz music to listen to at work, I followed a series of clues that made me realize da Vinci isn’t the only one with a secret code. One video led to another and there I was with the winner of Super Bowl XLI. I am taking this with to me Vegas, but before I do I will lay out the treasure map for you right here, an ACGM exclusive. It just makes me wonder what else Youtube can predict.

New Orleans Saints @ Chicago Bears

No one ever has and maybe never will embody the spirit of N’Awlins quite like Louis Armstrong. His lively jazz and cool voice are staples of the never-ending party town. And this is where my story began. I have always been a fan of jazz and especially Louis. But I noticed while listening to his rendition of The Saints Go Marching In, that Mr. Armstrong was perhaps trying to tell us something more; that perhaps he knew all along that the Saints would be on the road trying to make it to the Super Bowl. But where they would be was the question I was trying to answer.

I found my answer while looking no further than the search results for the jazzman himself. Mr. Armstrong liked to play the blues as well and this pointed in no other direction than Chicago, where the “city of the big shoulders” is famous for it’s gritty style of blues. Well it didn’t take long to realize the answer to the NFC Championship could be found in the Blue Brothers “Sweet Home Chicago.” If you look closely, you can see that Jake and Elwood aren’t trying to evade the Illinois state police, but are hinting that Chicago will be a sweet, no super, place as the Bears barely escape at the very end of the show.

Now if you look closely at the numbers, it will also reveal the score of the game. The Louis video is 4:46 long and the Blues Bros is 3:24. Since the Saints are predicted to lose, flip their score to 6:44. Then multiply the minutes and subtract the seconds and you get a final score of 18-20. Looks like Ol’ Satchmo left out a verse to the song, I’ll just go ahead and sing it for him:

And when the sun refuse to shine
And when the sun refuse to shine
I don’t want to be in that number
When the sun refuse to shine.

New England Patriots @ Indianapolis Colts

So now I think I am on to something, am I the next Dan Brown? Can I rake in money with this New York Times bestseller? Doubtful, but if I am to have any shot at proving my theory, I need to be able to find the answer to the AFC Championship game. I won’t lie to you, I had a difficult time finding a starting palce, a spot where I could get hot on the trail of Vince Lombardi. I searched J. Geils videos thinking that “my best friend’s girlfriend, but she used to be mine” was in someway screaming to us about the Adam Vinatieri saga. And then it hit me like a ton of bricks to listen to the so called experts.

Everyone is predicting the Colts to win under the notion that it is “Peyton Manning’s time.” After hearing this over and over, all I could think of was Sean Astin in Goonies. “Don't you realize? The next time you see sky, it'll be over another town. The next time you take the Wunderlich test, it'll be for some other team. Our fans, they want the best of stuff for us. But right now, they got to do what's right for them. Because it's their time. Their time! Up there! Down here, it's our time. It's our time down here. That's all over the second we ride up Brady's bucket.” I was stalled until I came across a clip of the Goonies on the Family Guy and yelled out, Eureka! Family guy was the key. A New England family that were Patriot fans. Peter Griffin played for the Patriots once in an episode and helped them win. He even sang a victory song about it.

I was sure the Patriots would win the game, but I still needed more proof and I needed a to find a score for the game. Since I couldn’t find any relation of Family Guy to the Knights Templar and since Stewie was not leaving any mathmetical sequences I decided to take a break from the treasure hunt. I watched clips of Michael Jackson on Family Guy, I watched the clip of Brian doing the Peanut Butter Jelly dance, and then by chance, I cam across a video of the Jackson 5 singing Peanut Butter Jelly Time and it all started to make sense.

The Jackson 5 were from Indiana, is it possible that they could be involved in the conspiracy? Is it possible that just like the Jackson’s career, the Colts will look great in the first half of the game but will somehow throw it away and become the joke of the NFL? I think so, and so does youtube. In the next clip of David Letterman on the Jackson 5 Variety Show, he makes mention of a liquor store winning out over a guy named Eddie. Eddie sounds eerily familiar to Indy and liquor store is a nickname David ises for New England. Back in the 70’s when this clip aired on TV, Massachusetts did not allow the sale of alcohol on Sundays, the day of football. Letterman, being the jokester he is, was actually mocking MA.

You can alos listen to some of the songs the Jacksons have sung over the years as clues to the dismantling of Peyton and Co. "Don't Say Goodbye Again", "I Want To Be Where You Are", and "State Of Shock" all point to a futer letdown.

The score of game can be derived from piecing together the baseball scores that Mr. Letterman reads off. 3-2, 5-4, 9-0 are the scores that we must add together to get 3 single numbers of 5,9,9. In the opening seconds of the skit, Michael mentions his 3 murder stories but that he can only do the first 2, therefore multiply the first 2 numbers by 3 and that gives us 15, 27, 9. Since 9 divided by itself is equal to one we can add 9 to the first number and come up with the final score of 24-27.

Want more proof that New England will face Chicago in the Super Bowl? Look no further than these two “Super” songs that have stood the test of time. How can these two teams not face each other 21 years later when fate, or is bad style, is on their side?

A song that needs no introduction

Can you keep down a city like this?

The answer to who will win the Super Bowl will be reveled at a later time as to keep you guessing. The only way to find out before it is posted is to crack the code yourself. Good night to all my eager little sleuths out there.
