Beginning of the season predictions....haw many panned out??
FoxSports.com's Adam Schein's 2005 season predictions:
1. The Broncos will finish in the cellar in the AFC West
2. The Redskins will be a last-place team
3. Julius Jones will lead the NFL in rushing
4. The Jets will miss the playoffs
5. The Bills will play the second weekend in January
6. Kyle Boller to the postseason; Ben Roethlisberger to the Bahamas
7. Kyle Orton wins more games than Brett Favre
8. J.J. Arrington and Derrick Johnson win Rookie of the Year
9. Corey Dillon is the league MVP; Patriots go back to the Super Bowl
10. Carolina will win the Super Bowl
1. prediction: way off, the only afc west team to make it to the playoffs
2. prediction: not even close, washington won 10 games in regular season play and even beat tampa bay in the wild card. the last place team honor goes to who else but the houston texan's...duh.
3. prediction: nope, jones didn't even make the top five. the league leader in rushing was shaun alexander with 1880 yards.
4. prediction: finally the man got one right, but this was pretty broad, he had a 50-50 chance, although with last years standings he did go out on a limb.
5. prediction: nope not with an overall record of 5-11
6. prediction: haha, completely backwards, i wonder where boller actually went on vacation...?
7. prediction: yep, poor brett, my favorite qb, couldn't pull it off this year, he is getting older, but i don't want to see him leave the league.
8. prediction: nope, cadillac won this year with 1178 yards, and 6 touchdowns out of 290 carries.
9. prediction: corey dillon sucks and the patriots suck. oh yea
10.prediction: that would have been cool, i dig carolina and they were close, but no cigar. but it's okay, i liked the seahawks too, either would have been fine, too bad they lost to the damn steelers.
2 out of 10, good thing he wasn't betting money on these.
predictions for 2006 season: raiders are getting a new coach so hopefully with him, lamont jordon, randy moss and kerry collins we can at least win 5 games.

B. Don't care
C. You put it on the internet, people are going to read it. That's a rather simple idea to grasp I'd say. As for the rest of your stunning point I have no idea what you're talking about. Sorry.

A. you are exactly right, typing up a sportscasters predictions for the season and then seeing if he was right does not mean that I know football. I never said it meant that I knew football, actually the reason I typed it was to see if Adam Schein, the guy who made the predictions, knew football. so its a moot point. All I said was I knew more about football than you, but that is not based on the post that I made, and feel free to prove me wrong I only said it because you really have no basis to say that I "...don't know much about football."
B. I don't care that you don't care (haha, what are we 12?)
C. yea I grasped the concept that what is on the internet is viewable by all, and I am alright with that, I don't care who reads my stuff, but when someone comes on to my website and tells me that it "sucks" when I talk about certain things, my natural reaction is going to be to tell them not to read it. it's sort of like the anecdote about the guy who goes to the doctor and says doctor my finger hurts whenever I go like 'this'. and the doctor tells him not to go like 'this'. you get what i'm saying? if you don't like what I have to say, don't look at it. simple as that.
and don't tell me you don't know what I am talking about, I know who you are, the only reason I am even indulging you in this back and forth is because I have no job right now as I sit and wait to go to the Navy, so I'm bored.
So come on man, tell me why...tell me why I make your life so miserable.

That's a cute anecdote and all but if it was actually true then people wouldn't rubberneck accidents. If you write out a huge blog about how your life sucks or whatever (I skim sorry) someone is going to read it and find it interesting. That someone is totally me.
Sorry about your paranoid whatever cloak and dagger shit. You don't make my life miserable, you entertain me and I love you for it. THANK YOU!
And don't call people kid, we're not 12. And I think saying "I don't care" about your history of a raiders fan is legitament and not juvinelle at all. Sorry about the spelling mistakes but I have to run class is out!.
To sum up: I heart you very much

Oh and you're totally right about the paranoia, I know your watching me right now, that must be how you know all of this stuff about me. ooooh scary.
I just thought I had to be making your life miserable or else you wouldn't feel the need to say mean things to me and talk shit behind my back, but I guess I was wrong, you only do that stuff because you are so entertained by me. yay.
And I apologize that you were offended by the kid comment, most people would know that is like being called bud, or dude, or something to that effect, usually the only people who get upset about that term are those that have childlike qualities such as stature, intellect, penis size? I don't know... but I'm sure that's not you and it was probably all a misunderstanding.
I guess to sum mine up I heart you as well, maybe we could get together for a nice game of Oregan Trail sometime, that is unless the ban is still in effect. Let me know friend.
