Remember our first encounter with MLJ nemesis Jim Trotter in which he made a bunch of silly predictions using ambiguous language? Well I’ll be goddamned if I’m gonna let those predictions slide, especially since every single one of his “real” predictions is dead wrong.
1. The Broncos are not going to crash land.
Since starting the season 6-0, the Broncos have gone 2-7. Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the very definition of crash landing.
4. New Orleans won’t go undefeated.
Hey, he got one right! Too bad he changed his mind two weeks later and decided that the Saints would go undefeated. Is that worth half credit?
6. The Steelers will not lose another regular-season game.
Lollerskates. After he wrote this, the Steelers went on to lose their next 5 games in a row. Against weak opponents.
9. Brett Favre will make a run at the MVP award.
Ha. Since this was written, Favre has become his good old fashioned December self and has lost 3 out of 4 games in December. If he finishes in the top 5 in MVP voting I will be stunned.
10. Pittsburgh will win the Super Bowl.
Well, they gotta make the playoffs first and right now they need some help. They need to win Sunday and pray for the Jets to lose against a Cincy team that already has a playoff spot locked up.
this is my favorite series…
if only you titled it “why jim trotter is an idiot.”
Jim Trotter = Intern Jace?
