Predictions in the World of Sport for the 2006


Alphabet Man

Recommended Posts

Tounge in cheek look:

Baseball:

The St. Louis Cardinals will defeat the NY Yankees in 6 games. Seriously, this will be the Cardinals year. No, really.

The finals of the World Baseball Classic will go into extra innings between USA and the Dominican. In the 16th inning of this epic struggle, Buck Martinez will realize that, due to pitch counts and innings played limits, the United States will run out of players really soon. Scanning the crowd, he finds Rickey Henderson, outfielder for the San Diego Surf Dawgs of the Golden Baseball League. Henderson then proceeds in hitting a double off of Jose Mesa, bringing 4th-string catcher Brian Schneider home for the winning run. Rickey then says that Rickey is the best player on planet Earth and that Rickey just proved it by having Rickey hit the World Cup winning RBI.

Football:

The Colts defeat the Seahawks in the Super Bowl. But more importantly, the commercials are hilarious.

Reggie Bush is drafted no. 1 overall by the Texans. They then begin working on his bust for Canton, Ohio.

Basketball:

The NBA playoffs.... my magic 8-ball says "Try again later". Stupid 8-ball.

The NCAA tournament is won by Joe from Daytona, FL, who somehow gets his entire bracket right.

Hockey:

"Try again later". God I hate this 8-ball. Wait a second, it's becoming clearer....

The Buffalo Sabres will find some way to get to the Stanley Cup and blow it.

The Olympics:

2006 Torino... I have no idea. But I'm guessing somehow there will be controversy.

Maybe these are too obvious, but:

1. Terrell Owens will alienate his new teammates, the ______ _______. Fans in his new home city of ________ will turn on him and start burning his #81 jerseys in the streets.

2. The Atlanta Braves will be picked 4th in the NL East, but will win the division by 3 games over the Phillies, despite fielding a team of 16-year olds from local high schools, and a group of Japanese exchange students in town for the summer.

3. The Blue Jays will win their first AL East crown in 13 years, prompting the Red Sox and Yankees to buy up every other team in the league.

Happy 2006...

In order for the Mets' run of 12 losses in 17 games to mean something, the Phillies still had to win 13 of 17.

Wait, what if he goes to a team where no. 81 is retired? Then what number would they burn! See, your prediction is flawed!

If the Seahawks can unretire Steve Largent's #80 for someone - even a class act like Jerry Rice - what's stopping a team looking to stroke the ego of the most petulant WR in football from dismissing their own history by promising him that they'd make #81 available, even if it were retired? Just another bargaining chip. And besides, he'll burn his bridges in that city in a year or so, and #81 would be free to be re-retired. <_<

Some Real and Half Assed Predictions for the year Ahead:

-Chicago Cubs will win the NL Central, cardinals will win the wild card.

-Notre Dame will win the National Championship with Brady Quinn winning the Heisman.

-Nashville will knock off the Red Wings in the Western Conference Playoffs on their way to losing in the Stanley Cup Finals to the Ottawa Senators.

-The Bears will win the NFC and the Colts will win the AFC with the Colts prevailing in Super Bowl XL

-Fewer people than ever will care about the NBA

-Reggie Bush will be drafted 1st by the Texans then traded to San Diego for Philip Rivers thus never allowing for rivers career to ever really get going.

-Gonzaga will lose in the second round of the tournament going from perennial cinderella to powerhouse to perennial tourney chokers within a matter of 6 years, although i love gonzaga hoops.

-the St. Louis Blues still will not have an owner and the New York Islanders will continue to lead the NHL in Sushi sold at concessions.

-6 More Bowl Games will be added to college football.

-The Trojan "Dynasty" will Fall on January 4th

Happy New Year and Hook 'Em Horns!

Here are some bold and not so bold predictions....

Colts win SB

Miami Dolphins make next year's playoffs

Baseball goes on strike after 2006 season

The house that belongs to the BCS creators gets egged by angry Oregon fans

Terrell Owens finally shuts up (one can hope!)

Lions, Cards will continue to suck

Tom Benson will insist that the Saints move to SA

Yankees fail to win World Series in 2006, then trade for Manny Ramirez, Albert Pujols and Barry Bonds, only to fail to win in 07

Florida Marlins go 0-162 next season

.....and finally..... in reaction to angry Oregon fans egging their houses, the BCS is abolished, leading to a playoff that is just as stupid as the NBA and NHL playoffs :evil:

MLB: The National leauge snaps the American Leauge's winning streak in the All-Star Game as they have done the past 4 times it was in Pittsburgh.

Pittsburgh has had more All-Star games than any other city {5}.

NHL: the Penguins and build a state of the art arena to keep the Pens in Pittsburgh.

NFL: I wont say anything. Every year i do i jynx them.

both are declaired greatest homeruns ever. Both World Series that ever end on a homerun are Bucs victories

:rolleyes:

Hey, the 1960 world series is the only world series to end on a homerun so far and it was a Pirates win. The bucs realy did win all those other world series I mentioned, and Pittsburgh has had the most all-star games.

That much of it is true, the rest i just made up because i was bored.

Nobody said you had to be serious about these predictions.

MLB:

A: The Braves won't win the Series and get knocked out in the 1st Round...again.

B: The Yankees will miss the playoffs altogether, & Steinbrenner as a result holds a "money draft" by taking the best players from each MLB team for an absurd amount of money.

C: A team that didn't make the playoffs this year will win the World Series.

NFL:

A: The Falcons will finish 10-6 but somehow miss the playoffs due to the fact that the rest of the NFC is loaded, & the Panthers finish 14-2, every loss against the Falcons.

B: The Jets trade to get Bush, & with the Pennington-Bush 1-2 punch, Jets win their division.

C: Patriots make it 4 in a row because they'll probably win this year if they get HF.

NBA:

A: The Hawks will continue to suck.

B: A team will be 10 games below .500, but still make the playoffs in the East.

C: Pistons will win NBA title.

NHL

A: Many many many many many many MANY offensive records will be shattered by the Ottawa Senators alone.

B: The Ottawa Senators win the Presidents Trophy.

C: The Ottawa Senators will be knocked out of the playoffs in the Conference Semifinals by the Toronto Maple Leafs.

D: Flames win Stanley Cup.
