Look At This, A Writer At ESPN Actually Admits To Being Wrong
Friday, January 04, 2008
I think this is unprecedented at the WW"L", but a writer actually listed 5 things he was wrong about during the NFL Season. Amazing right? Well even more amazing was that it was actually posted on ESPN.com. Of course the person isn't Sean Salisbury or Scoop Jackson but it's refreshing none-the-less. Jeffri Chadiha ladies and gentlemen....
That's why I've learned that it's wise to come clean in print on my most off-base opinions. Humility can be a good thing, even if it means taking a couple body blows in the process. After all, anybody can make a prediction. But it takes a truly desperate writer who can't find a better topic to write about to admit his errors in print.Wow that's a pretty brave thing to do I think I shall do the same. Here were my predictions at the beginning of the year and apparently I drank some 9er kool aid as well......
So before I start focusing on the postseason, I want to honor the five dumbest things I've said over the last few months. Here is the complete collection of what I'll call my mistakes, misreads and moments I'd like to have back from this regular season:
1. Randy Moss will flop in New England
2. Chicago's Devin Hester won't have the same kind of success he had as a rookie
3. The San Francisco 49ers will win the NFC West
4. Norv Turner will ruin the San Diego Chargers
5. The Redskins can't rebound from the death of Sean Taylor and make the playoffs

Well, that's true. Norv Turner nees to win a playoff game to make tht hrie a sucess isntead of a mistake like everyone thoguht.
off topic....but any thoughts on Hingis being banned from tennis for 2 years?
for blow? i had no idea she wasnt retired
No, tennis isn't a sport.
AA, sounds like a a lot of rain in Seattle tomorrow. Great news for the Skins!!!
tennis not a sport? AA what's your stance on this?
"1. Randy Moss will flop in New England"
Wow, flop? That's just dumb. I bet he said the same about Corey Dillon.
"3. The San Francisco 49ers will win the NFC West"
Christ.
Then again, I'm the one who said this was the year we'd see the resurgence of John Friez.
Where's today's picture ya pudwacker?
Saying that Randy Moss was going tob e aflp in New England that was petty stupid. Pcking the neiners to win the NFC west turned out to be very dumb. Becasue hey turned out to be a terrible team. Every other prediciton this writes made wer so worng tht its amzing that this guy has a job with ESPN. This guy is a dope.
^^^not knowing how to spell is also pretty stupid
Spelling is apparently overrated to that guy also. Anyway . . .
Don't worry, Jeffrey. With the talent on defense and an offense that was making strides at the end of the previous season, Niner fans [myself included] were drinking the kool aid Nolan was poisoning with his innate ability to under coach his squad.
its WAY too early for him to say he was wrong about norv turner
