Predictions you got totally wrong.

[Damaramu]

Ok the other one is about what you got right. This is what you got wrong. What did you predict that you got totally wrong?

 

Like I said in the other one Kurt Warner gave me the idea.

 

I predicted he'd be the comeback kid this last year and have another great season and lead the Giants to stardom. I was wrong on that one......I make the same prediction for Kurt in Zona!

[Dr. Tyler; Captain America]

What's horribly sad is that I agree with you. He'll probably do very well surrounded by 'quan Boldin, Bryant Johnson, and Larry Fitz, not to mention the running back they picked up in the draft.

[Carnival]

I said Ryan Leaf would be better than Peyton Manning.

[Guest Vitamin X]

I didn't think Leaf was better than Manning, however I thought he would be almost as good. I never thought Manning would end up being THAT good, though. Manning was in a better situation, though. Only recently have the San Diego Chargers unfucked themselves.

 

Of course, my contention that the Shaq trade was grossly in LA's favor (and this was a sentiment echoed by damn near everyone on this board as well- if I could find the thread we were ALL wrong) is probably the worst one.

[Jorge Gorgeous]

I said Portland and Utah would and Phoenix and Dallas would NOT make the playoffs this year.

[nogoodnick]

I said the Sonics would be out of playoff contention by the All Star break.

[alfdogg]

How many people said that the Wolves would go to the Finals this year?

[nogoodnick]

I found my NBA Western Conference preseason predictions:

1. SA- Add Brent Barry to already solid group

2. Minnesota- One year and a playoff run under their belts

3. Houston- Yao+T Mac= finish anywhere from 1-5

4. Sacramento- Only got older in offseason, If Webber stops sucking maybe better than 4

5. Denver- Possibly adding Martin to a solid cast and the improvement of Melo

6. Lakers- Assuming they keep Kobe and not Malone

7. Memphis- Should just keep getting better as a team

8. Phoenix- Adding Q and Nash to Marion and Amare should at least get them # 8 seed

9. Portland- Same team as last year but now theyll play together without past distractions

10. Utah- Added a couple of great pieces but will it be enough?

11. Dallas- Lost veteran pg, no D

12. New Orleans- Move out west probably not gonna help

13. Seattle- Didn't improve at all IMO, lost Barry

14. Clippers- Unless they get Kobe its the cellar again

15. Golden State- Ewww

Well who wouldve knew Seattle would do well? I was way off with LAL, Dallas, and Minnesota.

[Guest Vitamin X]

Yeah Seattle was certainly a surprise. And while it was no secret the Lakers weren't going to be as dominant as they once were, their midseason plummet and finishing with their worst record in decades was a tad shocking.

[NoCalMike]

I thought Trinidad would KO Hopkins.

[Alro]

I said Roger Federer was going to run over everybody in the Aussie Open.

[the max]

I don't know if it counts, but I had Nomar pegged for finishing his career in Boston, having led the Red Sox to a few titles. Then again, I also thought that the Red Sox rotation was set after the division title win in 1995 (Erik Hanson, Fat Hick, Aaron Sele, etc.)

[CanadianChris]

I thought Alexander Daigle would be the next Mario Lemieux.

[Crimson Platypus]

I said Ryan Leaf would be better than Peyton Manning.

I too am guilty of this one. In fact I argued with anyone who would disagree with me on that.

[Guest Agent of Oblivion]

Last year I thought someone was going to figure the Patriots out. That will happen this year.

[the pinjockey]

I thought Cade McNown was going to be the best QB in the Class of '99.

[Crimson Platypus]

Oh, I STILL (who knows why) think that Kyle Boller and Patrick Ramsey will some day be good-great NFL QBs.

[TheDevilAndGodAreRagingInsideMe]

I predicted the Giants to go to the 2003 NFC Championship game after a 10-6 playoff appearance in 2002, and instead they finished 4-12.

 

I predicted that the 2004 ALCS wouldn't leave Boston, and predicted the Yanks to end the Series in every game from 4-7, though admittidly I didn't like going into Game 7 with Brown. Then I angrily predicted St. Louis (After predicting Houston to win the NLCS) to win the World Series, knowing full well they wouldn't anyway.

 

I thought the Yankees 2002 team in spring training was the best team they had fielded of the dynstasy up to that point. I thought they would roll Anahiem in the ALDS as well.

[CanadianGuitarist]

I thought Alexander Daigle would be the next Mario Lemieux.

I did too. And I thought he'd be revitalized in Pittsburgh and Minnesota.

[Guest Salacious Crumb]

I thought Griffey was going to get the Reds far into the playoffs in 2000. I also got suckered into thinking he was going to be healthy in 2001 and 2002.

[MillenniumMan831]

In February, I thought the Cavs would make the playoffs.

[CanadianGuitarist]

I predicted Phil Mickelson to win every major between 2001 and 2004. I seriously predicted him to win at least four of them, the rest of them was my being a fan boy.

[Just John]

After their good 03 season, I said the Royals would make the playoffs in 04.

 

I thought the Magic and Cavs would both be in the playoffs this year.

[UseTheSledgehammerUh]

I thought the Saints would make the playoffs last season. Stupid Rams and Stupid Jets.

[Just John]

Oh, I also said the Pistons had no chance against the Lakers last year.

[Brett Favre]

How many people said that the Wolves would go to the Finals this year?

This guy.

[Guest Vitamin X]

Same here. Worst off, I thought there wouldn't be damn near anyone that would be able to play as well as they did.

[2GOLD]

That no one would be stupid enough to draft Maurice Clarett.

I forgot about that coach in Denver who still believes in Jake "The Snake" Plummer.

[NoCalMike]

After a botch field goal attempt on two plays in a row in the 1999 Divisional playoffs, I surely thought the Redskins would come back in 2000 and at least get to the NFC Championship, I bought into Snyder's FA signing spree......

[Vern Gagne]

I thought the the Gopher football team would be a legit Big 10 contender last season.

 

I picked the Wolves to make the Western Conference Finals, losing to SA. But after about 2 weeks. I said they'd just make the playoffs,and than by January said they wouldn't make the playoffs period.
