Yeah there was a lot of Lance hype.

I've got a lot of them Some highlights...

Kurt Warner was a flash in the pan QB and that Trent Green would prove to be the much better QB.

Jay Cutler would be a HOF QB and lead the Bears to multiple SuperBowls.

Britney Spears was a one hit wonder that we would never hear from again.

Gas will never exceed $3.00/gallon.

I was screaming to anyone who would listen that Bledsoe should start the Super Bowl over Brady.

That is a great one.

Context: Brady got hurt in the AFC title game and Bledsoe finished.

Also, Brady was seen as a Game Manager and Bledsoe as a thrower. They were going up against the greatest show on turf so I thought they'd need to score a lot to win. Also, Belichick's genius was not known yet.

Plus Bledsoe was decent, and Brady's "genius" was not known. He is game manager even beyond Joe Montana and the west coast offense.

Yeah given the context of where things were at the time, saying Bledsoe should start over a 6th round pick is not that crazy.

Post crazy thought. If it comes true, take credit. If not, call it obvious trolling.


Nice lawering.

I do the same thing with 3-0 playoff leads.

Other than One Post, you may be my favorite target, even though I know you are playing along with me.

President Elizabeth Warren.

Chip Kelly would do the right thing and rest his starters 2nd half of a 2013 late-season game against the Bears. A game the Bears needed to get into the post-season, but was mostly meaningless to Kelly's Eagles. Kelly showed why he's not an NFL coach by not only playing his starters the full sixty and blowing out the Bears 54-11; but also running every trick play in his play-book as well; giving playoff opponents more tape on Kelly's heretofore seemingly unstoppable Eagles offense.

2 weeks later Kelly would get bounced from the playoffs by Sean Payton.

that's not wrong. Cutler prolly had as much or more potential to be a great QB than Rodgers. Rodgers made himself a better QB while Cutler smoked cigarettes and went clubbing with G-Reg.

greg oden was obviously the #1 pick. another scoring small forward? *yawn*

Phil Emery would undo much of the crap from the Jerry Angelo era.

Thought the Spurs were done in like 2011, then they went to two more finals and won one. (screw you, FF)

I thought rookies from high school would never make a dent in the NBA during their first year, then LBJ happened.

Butler would never be anything more than a defensive stopper.

IDK how to assess my Trestman love upon his hire. I thought he'd fix the offense, and to some extent he did, but I didn't realize he'd lose the locker room and generally be incompetent at everything else.

Zambrano was the next big thing, and would be better than Prior and Wood when both were healthy. This was 2003/2004.

This is clearly a very thinly-veiled (at least on purpose) attempt to remove yourself from criticism. RPB already did the dirty work, so I won’t repeat the obvious conclusion he drew. But, hey, it’s still better than your attempts at math.

I (like the great Hawk) thought that the "very talented" Mike Cameron would be a solid pro, if not star for the Sox.

2006 would be a repeat year.

Dodgers in 5, 6 at the most (two years in a row).

That someone other than Nas was going to be the loudest (early) agitator at last March's aborted Trump rally.

That Ryan Pace was a complete failure in waiting as GM who could never grow into the job. Ever. (He's not complete)

I've commented a bit on this in other threads. Do you at least see some signs that he can evaluate talent, the Glennon signing notwithstanding?

Cameron was a solid pro.

And even if he became a star, JERRY traded him for Paul Konerko.

The defense is proof that he can, below the radar, put together a collection of modest talents into a solid unit. Reaching back for Hicks appears to be a fabulous move, but that may be somebody else's projection from New Orleans and him sniffing around due to familiarity.

Dr. Ken, Dolphin & Seacrest (I believe) called Jordan Howard. I liked Floyd. And I think it's pretty well settled that he's started drafting complimentary pieces. Kevin White & (Pro Bowl QB) Trubisky were his home run swings though, which doesn't appear to bode well.
