2009: Bold Predictions!

First off, happy belated new years. We're a mere five days into 2009, and I'm still wondering where 2004 went. Anyway, 'tis the season for bold, outlandish predictions that have a 38% chance of being true 72% of the time. Though, since I'm so good a predicting things on the blog, its probably a safe bet to take my predictions and go the other way. Never the less, onward to GiantAsianMan's Stone-Cold Locks for 2009*:

(*you know, unless they don't come true)

Sports

-The Reds will finish just over .500, somewhere around 82-80.
-Chad Johnson has played his last game in a Bengals uniform.
-The Big East will get 10 teams into the NCAA Tournament (and none of them will make the Final Four).
-The Yankees will miss the playoffs again. So will the Mets.
-Tiger Woods comes back from knee surgery and wins (at least) 2 majors.
-Brett Favre will be back AGAIN next season, but not with the Jets.
-If Tim Tebow comes back for his senior season, he'll win a second Heisman.
-The NBA finals will look a lot like they did last year, with the Celtics beating the Lakers.

TV & Film

-The top 3 grossing films of the year, in no particular order, will be Watchmen, Star Trek, and Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.
-Heath Ledger does not win an Oscar for The Dark Knight (he does get nominated, though).
-The island went back in time (okay, that was an easy one).
-The final cylon? Tom Zarek.
-Or Dr. Cottle.
-Reaper won't get a third season when it deserves one.
-Private Practice will get a third season when it doesn't.
-Dollhouse will be a great show, but it won't get a chance to shine due to its Friday night time slot.
-Regardless of how good Nathan Fillion's new show Castle is, it won't last 4 episodes, just because.

Okay, I guess that's all I've got for now. Here's to 2009!
