Review of 2009 predictions

From TMQ's annual Bad Predictions Review..hilarious...

 

Welcome to Brackettville, Don't Expect a Long Stay: After the first weekend of the 2009 NCAA men's basketball tournament, all 5 million ESPN bracket entries were wrong.

 

Studies have shown that the prediction most likely to be correct is simply forecasting that existing trends will continue. Therefore, TMQ predicts for all aspects of American society for the year 2010 that all existing trends will continue and everything will be average.

 

Agents Beg Sports Illustrated Not to Put Their Clients on the Cover: The week before the NFL championship round, Sports Illustrated had Mark Sanchez on the cover in issues sold in the Northeast, Brett Favre on the cover in other parts of the country. The Jets and Vikings both lost -- a double SI curse.

 

In 2006, TMQ predicted the new Washington Nationals stadium would be a fiasco owing to traffic congestion and lack of parking. Instead, neither are problems because hardly anyone is going to the games.
