Im going to go out on a limb here. I say they make the playoffs. They have a defense that could be dominant if they don't have to be on the field too long. They have a coach that is one of the best offensive minds in the sport. They are in a division where two of the teams are rebuilding.

Why can't they get a wildcard? I bet Vegas will put them out at 6 wins max and I would take the over on that.


If 6-10 made the playoffs, the Skins would be a perpetual entry in the postseason! Two can obviously play at the "your opinion stinks" game.

Lol. That's going out on a limb you moron. That's the point. It takes a degree of courage to bet the skins will make the playoffs.

How much courage does it take to contradict rockhardten1985? How much of a douche are you if he ends up being right? How much courage does it take to say the eagles won't make the playoffs at the beginning of 2010? How much of a douche are you when they make it? Slotbilas?

Another spot-on set of predictions from the great dalakhani, this of more recent vintage. What's the old cliche about glass houses and throwing stones?

Okay, baseball calls:

NY over Minnesota
TB over Texas

Atl over Sf
Cin over Philly

Cin over Atl

TB over NY

TB over Cin

I bet Fox is drooling over the prospect of those ratings.


Those Cincy-Braves and TB-Yankees 2010 championship series must have been scintillating!

Where are your calls slodouche? Any tourney selections against the line? Give out any horses?

Those playoff picks were pretty bad. My pre season baseball selections were a little better. Why don't you post those? . Or better yet post yours...

Do you have anything where you are actually right?

slodouche, slowdirt, really, they're all very original. You are to be commended on taking my screen name and turning it into a supposed insult. Really though, why not slowdouche? Why the "slo" without the "w?" Is it just a stylistic thing?

Anyway, I'm not sure of the point here. Yours is apparently to try to embarrass me in some form or fashion whilst unnecessarily insulting people with disabilities. Mine is to show you that even the greatest among us - and I'm clearly not accusing you of being a member of that class - are wrong on occasion.

But since you asked, here are a couple of things from this very thread that I've posted that were absolutely, 100 percent correct (note that there are just as many things I've said that are absolutely, 100 percent wrong, and I don't particularly care.):

Duke may be the best team, but only if they have Irving. They're perfectly ordinary otherwise.

Did someone just claim that BYU isn't a mid-major? BYU, who's leaving the Mountain West for the freaking WCC next year? BYU is the definition of mid-major.

Okay, Rockhardten owes you a debt of gratitude. How are you right about the underlined statement? Irving was Duke's leading scorer when that ordinary Duke team got their tails whipped by a team that you said "stinks".

You hit the idiot exacta in one thread. The team claimed was "the best with Kyrie Irving" got whipped by a team that you said "stinks" in Zona.

Just shut up already. LOL

Kyrie Irving was injured and had played two games in four months at that point. Obviously even the thickest skulled among us understood that was my point.

Moreover, Arizona didn't prove a thing during the regular season. Obviously, people can be wrong, but did you have a team that lost twice to Washington State going to the Elite Eight? Let's see your brackets, killer.

So easy to point out the flaws of others when one can't see their own. And with that, I'm going to use the ignore button for the first time in my five years at dt.com.
