First off, let's take a look at my predications from last year!:
-The economy will continue to flounder and tank until about June when by all accounts, it will start performing better than expected. But a crisis of some sort will throw it right back into the shitter by the end of the summer.
I guess the economy got better, but a catastrophe? Didn't happen.
-Georgetown will make it to the Final Four. There they will face UNC and blow them out by 20. They will go on to WIN the NCAA Men's Basketball National Championship.

Mega-false. Gtown didn't even make it into the NCAA tourney. They fell from the top 10 to unranked in less than 2 weeks. *Cue Price is Right loss music*
-The Yankees will open their season up in their new stadium and blow everyone out of the water. CC will finish 18-4 with a 2.58 ERA, Burnett will go 15-9 with a 3.98 ERA, M-Tex will bat .338 with 48 homers, the Yankees will finish with a 102-60 record, the AL East crown AND a World Series Championship!

CC: 19-8, 3.37 ERA (eehh, kind of close?)
Burnett: 13-9, 4.04 (pretty good!)
Teix: .292, 39 HRs (womp)
Yanks: 103-59 & AL East champs & WS Champs (oh my god, call me NostraDATmus!)
-Obama will be able to get much done in office, mostly by way of his post-partisan approach. Four key pieces will be passed with bi-partisan support in '09.
What does that word up there mean, "bipartisan"?
-Eminem and Dr. Dre will release their long awaited albums.

Eminem, yes. Dr. Dre, no.
-The Superbowl will be played between Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, which the Iggles will win 34-21!

Well, halfway right. It was played between Pittsburgh and the Cardinals and Pitt won 27-23.
