As if New Orleans didn’t have enough reasons to be angry with him, ex-FEMA chief Michael Brown said that his pick to win the Superbowl is the Indianapolis Colts — not the New Orleans Saints.

In an interview for Politico Podcast, Brown was asked about his pick. He said: “I just tend to follow them more and I’ve just never been a real Saints fan. It’s nothing more than that.”

He also commented on his now-infamous “Brownie” nickname, which then-President George W. Bush gave to him: “The president wasn’t exactly, let’s say, a genius when it comes to nicknames.”
