NBA: Celtics for back to back titles.
College hoops: Georgetown.
BCS: USC comes roaring back as a midseason injury sidelines Tebow for the season.
Golf: Tiger sweeps and earns a real slam, blowing the field away. then chokes in the Ryder Cup only to be picked up by Lefty and Furyk for the Victory.
Redlegs: winning season, lose in the division series as we give the Cubbies a big 'Fuku'

Tennis:
Federer breaks through and completes the career slam at the red clay of Roland Garros.
Auto Racing:
Hendrick's Dale Jr. takes Daytona
Hendrick's places all four drivers in the Cup Standings
Tony Stewart brings Joe Gibbs the hardware
well damn Dav, what about the Worlds Strongest Man Competition?
Or the Future of American Gladiators 2.0, so you think Laser will be back?
Dave,
You have Federer breaking through at the French. Do you see him taking the slam next year? If not, does Nadal get him on the grass?
In response to Dav,
I have to say, I don't think Bobby will retire unless he has such a catastrophically bad season that he losses the all-time wins lead by something like 5 games.
He and Joe-Pa have a John Adams/Thomas Jefferson style death race going, and what's at stake is Bear Bryant's right hand on his throne in college football heaven.
Bobby considers himself a Bryant devotee, and doesn't want Joe Pa to end up with the record. So there's that. The reason Bubba got the nod as the coach of the future is so that they can use him as a recruiting tool when schools like Florida and Miami say "You can go to FSU, son, but Bobby just don't got it anymore."
As for my other predictions:
Superbowl 08: NE
09: Jacksonville
10: Bengals (Coach of the team? Bill Cowher)
WS: Yankees. I hate it but I think Girardi is good.
NBA: Boston. You can only put three guys that talented on a team so long before they destroy everything in their path.
BCS: Oklahoma rides a vengeance trail through the Big 12 on their way to picking up some hardware in the big one.
That's everything I care about. Do they still do a hockey playoffs?
