I told everyone before last season that the seahawks would fade and russ Wilson would go on IR

 

[CHOPTALK]

After Todd Hollandsworth's 19 HR season in 2000, I bet a friend he would hit 40+ playing in Colorado that year.

He hit 11

Yeah... really nailed that one.

If he gets hurt they do fade, and his size makes sense for an injury. Not an awful prediction, but Russ is pretty damn good about awareness. Similar to Brees. Him and Kaep will get hurt at some point though. Kaep because of his running and Russ because of his size.

Hahahahah touche'. On a side note one of my high school investments was registering carlospena.com who I was sure was the next superstar (he was in AAA at the time). That one never worked out but I got paid a decent profit on jkrowling.com... mostly after she threatened to sue me and I had to settle.

I bet my buddy last year $500 that the Seahawks wouldn't make the playoffs

Still have some of his rookie cards saved away, as well as Todd Van Poppel, Ben Grieve, and Brien Taylor.

Ouch.

 

[The Guesser]

That Ryan Leaf would be way better than Peyton Manning and would be an all time great. hno:

 

[VIEJODINOSAUR]

I said that Benito Santiago would never make the big leagues....(Padre catcher)

I also said the Eagles would win a Superbowl before I die.....I am now a big dog....

 

[Mr_Mark]

I have had many, but most current one: last year Bynum would do well on the Sixers and they would make a deep playoff run

How about that bet we had, where you bet me that the 2008 Celtics wouldn't make the playoffs, and they ended up winning an NBA championship?:money8::toast:

 

[Vlad the Impaler]

That Tim Couch would be great.

I was young then so basically made my calls strictly off talent. The franchise as a whole was a complete mess with poor coaching staff and personnel. Don't think any of those coaches are coaching in NFL any more. Had a guy last name of Palmer as head coach.

 

[ScottL]

The Mets on Monday and the D-Backs last night. Grrr.....

 

[Bourn]

I predict the Cowboys to be over .500 every year

 

[scottcarter]

Chad Henne would make the pro bowl

 

[CarolinaKid]

Tiger wood will be the all time winning golfer
