-Reggie Bush would be a good if not great NFL rb.
- Drew Brees would be a Chad Pennigton type game manager for the Saints, but not much more.
- Matt Ryan would suck

I didn't think Eli Manning had the arm strength to be a successful NFL QB. He still doesn't have a rocket but it's good enough.

I also remember getting in an argument with my friend about Aaron Brooks and Tom Brady. It was when both QBs started to play good (that didn't last long for Brooks). Brooks got a big extension and my friend, a Pats fan, was saying he didn't think Brooks deserved. I was convinced Brooks deserved the extension and that he was better than Brady.




My old college roommates used to say the same shite and I laughed in there face then and now.Having said that mine are

JaMarcus + Raiders = excellent fit!
Stromile Swift is the missing piece for the Rockets.

After the Sox had that miracle comeback against the Yankees, I thought that was their World Series and they would lose to the Cardinals.

Matt Ryan wouldn't be a good NFL QB


I'm guilty of these

I also thought Aaron Rodgers was going to be yet another Jeff Tedford bust.

1985 - After watching USL beat La Tech in Lafayette. "Karl Malone is overated and probably won't do much in the NBA. But that Willie Simmons is really something; he's going to have a nice pro career."

2004 football - USC over Texas in a walk


It was 2005.


I predicted Alabama to win the National Championship in 2000. They finished 3-8.

Thats nice!

A friend of mine told me that Christian Lattner would be the much better NBA player compared to ONeal AND that Tiger Woods was a flash in the pan, David Duval would rule the game for the next decade!!

That the Eagles would win the Superbowl last season, that the Phillies would win the Series last season. That the Flyers would win the Cup last season, that the 01 Sixers would beat the Lakers. It sucks being a fan of Philly teams.

Jim Tressel would coach the entire 2011-2012 season.

Too soon?

A few games into the 2005 season, I said something along the lines of "Wow, Notre Dame is really fortunate to have Charlie Weis instead of Urban Meyer."
