I perfectly predicted the entire playoff results for the 2003 NFL playoffs in which Tampa Bay won.

I correctly predicted the attendance at the last Red Barons' game.

Everyone in the NY area was calling for the Mets to have big years from 2001-2003 when they signed all those washed up free agents, when I said every year they would be .500 at very best.

 

Also, I have picked Atlanta over Philly in the last several seasons to win the East yet again, despite what the "experts" say year after year. That's kind of an easy pick though.

 

After they beat the Yankees in 2002, I picked the Angels to go all the way.

 

Before the 1996 season, a friend of mine was a Braves fan for a short time (We were 10 or 11), and he said something about the World Series, and I said (As a Yankee fan), "we'll see you there." What do you know, the two played in the Series that year.

I called the ENTIRE Knicks Houston series when they played in the finals. People were picking at me, expecially when the Knicks went up 3-2, then I said that the Rockets would win the next two and that John Starks(who had just had this incredible game) would shoot the knicks out of it. You can't get more accurate than that.

 

I called the Sonics losing to the Nuggets in the first round. Nothing felt greater than walking up to the school on that Monday and everyone just having to give me props for one hell of a call(especially after all the shit I took when the Nuggets went down 2-0)

 

I told everyone that Tracy McGrady was the best player on the Raptors when he and Vince were there, and the country was convinced that Vince Carter was the next MJ. I would constantly say "McGrady is a better player...the coach just won't give him any playing time" and everyone would say I was stupid. I bring that up till this day.

 

Of course they counter with telling me that I also said that Demarr Johnson(before the neck injury), Jamal Crawford, Zarko Carbarkapa and Boris Diaw will be superstars and Jarvis Hayes will be a big time player. But they all have time to develop and I will be right eventually.

I called Bama making the Elite 8 last year despite people saying they'd bow out to Southern Illinois, nonetheless Stanford or defending national champion Syracuse.

What the hell is your problem?

2003 NFL regular season, the Saints made that crazy kickoff return touchdown to climb to within one. No time was left on the clock.

 

I then predicted them to miss the extra point. They missed it. I was rolling around on the floor laughing my ass off.

You know, I called that one too. And a friend of mine walked in after I called and said the same thing would happen. I think that is case of alot of people just feeling that one coming.

 

I remember, my old roomate, after the Bills went up on the titans and me bing a Bills fan was celebrating, said: "Man, I don't know why you are celebrating. Its the Bills. They will find someway to lose."

 

And the goddamn Music City Forward Pass happened.
