BOLD PREDICTIONS

I am going to make a few bold predictions about the four local sports teams. Some of them are way the hell out there, some of them have a real shot of happening. But you never know they could all be right and I could be the next Nostradamus.

EAGLES: The Eagles will win the Super Bowl. In the off-season they will sign Terell Owens and repeat as Super Bowl Champs the next year.

PHILLIES: The Phillies will end the Braves eleven year run as NL East champs. They will also make a significant trade at the trading deadline that will greatly improve the team. I do not know if they will win it all next year but they will make a splash in the playoffs and win it all within five years.

FLYERS: The Flyers will once again do nothing in the playoffs this year. But due to a glut of young stud centermen they will trade Jeremy Roenick. Hitchcock cannot stand him and he is getting old, so he will be traded while he still has value. The Flyers will also acquire a bona fide goalie, perhaps in the Roenick deal but perhaps not.

SIXERS: THe Sixers will not make the playoffs this year but in doing so they will enter the NBA draft lottery. In said lottery they will get the number one pick and within five years will be back in the finals with a real possibillity of winning. The West's domination is coming to an end, next year.
