Predictions for 2010
I never would have predicted that Alex Rodriguez would be a key cog in a World Series win.
I never could have even dreamed what happened to Tiger Woods.
But I can predict some things that will happen in sports in 2010.
-No Detroit-area professional sports team will reach the postseason this year.
-Michigan defensive lineman Brandon Graham will wow NFL Scouts at this year's combine, leading to him becoming a first-round pick in April's draft. Graham is projected by most as a mid-second to third-round pick.
-Oklahoma City Thunder small forward Kevin Durant will finish in the top three in NBA MVP voting this coming spring.
-Kobe Bryant will win his second NBA MVP award.
-Curtis Granderson will have a career year in his first season in pinstripes.
-Despite the efforts of the local teams, no big name free agents will be lured here this year.
-Oakland Raiders Owner Al Davis will continue to look like the Cryptkeeper.
-Tiger Woods will return at some point this year and tear up the PGA Tour. Golf is all he has now, so all his time and effort will be put toward that...even more than before.
-Twitter will get an athlete suspended for an extended period of time.
-The World Cup will draw a record number of viewers...in other countries.
-A blogger will break a major sports story.
-Justin Verlander will be the 2010 version of Zack Greinke.
-Someone will be fatally injured in a widely-viewed MMA fight.
-Kentucky freshman phenom John Wall will be the first pick in the 2010 NBA Draft but he and his team will have a short run in the NCAA Tournament.
-The Philadelphia Eagles will be the San Diego Chargers in Super Bowl XLIV.
-The Texas Longhorns will win the Men's NCAA Basketball Tournament.
-The Los Angeles Lakers will repeat as NBA Champions...only if the Boston Celtics limp into the postseason like they did last year.
-The Philadelphia Phillies will win their second World Series title in three years.
-This time next year, USC will be back on top of the College Football world.
-Michigan State will play in the 2011 Rose Bowl (I hope!)
