RING, RING...

"Who's there?"

Oh, nobody, just Mickey Rooney. He called me at the office and gave me his Superbowl pick.

His answer is confidential, but he tried to be all impartial and get away with not picking a team. Or a score. His wife is hilarious, I could hear her from the background: "Give the nice lady a team!" And, when he waffled she'd yell, "Just pick one!"

When he became even more diplomatic, refusing to offer an exact score, she said, "Just make one up! Stop wasting the girl's time!"

"I don’t want anybody to get up in arms over me, so I just say the best team will win, " he said, before his wife and I double-team peer pressured him.

Best office phone call to date.
