My Top Eleven Worst 2008 Predictions

Time to take me behind the woodshed, so here are some of my predictions from 2008 that were absolutely F'N awful.

11. Your 07-08 NBA Coach of the Year will be Scott Skiles. He was fired midseason. (Reviewing my NBA Predictions)

10. The Saints will go 14-2 and get the NFC #1 seed. Not quite. (NFC South Preview)

9. Richie Sexson will be your comeback player of the year. I think he's basically out of the league now. (AL Award Predictions)

8. The Miami Heat will win the NBA Southeast Division and Get the 3 seed. More like the 15 seed. Who knew Wade was going to get huryt and Shaq traded? (Reviewing my NBA Predictions)

7. The Canadians were not going to make the playoffs. They got the #1 seed. (Review of my NHL Predictions)

6. The Lakers will miss out on the playoffs. They got the #1 seed, ha. (Reviewing my NBA Predictions)

5. NFL Comeback player of the year will be... Marc Bulger. Ugh. (2008 NFL Awards Predictions)

4. The Tigers would have the best record in baseball with 96 wins. They won 74. (AL Central Predictions)

3. The Mariners will win 91 games they won 61. Ouch. (AL West Predictions)

2. The Ravens will be the worst team in the NFL and will go 1-15. Perhaps I should stop predicting the NFL season by picking game by game and just start giving out generic records. (AFC North Preview)

1. The Lions will win 8 games this year which will.......... Win them the divsion. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh. Awful. (NFC North Predictions)

Lou Holtz is the Homer / Annoyingly Delusional

As my buddy Joe and I always joke, if Notre Dame was suiting up against an all Jesus team, aka a team made up of 55 Sons of God, Lou Holtz would probably still pick Notre Dame to win by a touchdown. So of course this weekend when I'm watching Sportscenter and they have him and fellow old man Corso making predictions, Lou picks ND to beat Michigan. Not that big of a deal, Michigan is a big question mark this year, but of course than Lou says that Notre Dame will win 11 games this year. This is the same Notre Dame that lost to a service academy last year. And just when you thought the douchy homerism was going to end ESPN asks which BCS school is going to be the biggest surprise team in the country. Any guesses to whom it was? I'll give you a clue it was another team he coached. If you guessed South Carolina you would be a winner. Next up on Lou's prediction watch, the Jets win the Superbowl, NC St. wins the ACC, Arkansas dominates the SEC West, Minnesota wins the Big...

Guest Post: Thoughts on Sabathia Signing

I asked Grutt what his thoughts were on the Sabathia signing and I thought his response pretty much nailed it. So here it is. I don’t know. Every year I get a little more disenchanted with baseball.

Now I hear we are going to sign more pitchers who will also get large contracts and the position player gaps are still glaring. Each new, large contract just adds to the feeling that the Yanks are supposed to win it all. “I think we have a good chance this year.” That is a lost feeling. If they don’t win I’ll wonder why, like there has to be some other reason besides that it’s a sport you can never predict how things will work out and some years just aren’t yours to be won. If they win I will be pleasantly smug. It gets a little more...
