Fact Checking Chris Berman

Watching ESPN's Chris Berman this morning, I heard him say "As we predicted" with reference to the Tennessee Titans making the playoffs.

This pegged my BS meter, seeing as virtually everyone had us not only not making the playoffs, but not even having a winning season.

So, I did a little digging and present to you ESPNs NFL Power Rankings  prior to the 2007-2008 season. I'm pretty sure ranking a team 21st would exclude them from the playoffs, unless it's some sort of new math going on.

So, no Chris, you all did not predict the Titans in the playoffs. You were off by nine places.

I love the internet.

by "we"...
he meant the schwam...the thing he does on Friday Sportscenters.  He did pick the Titans to go to the playoffs, the rest of ESPN didn't, but that was what he was referring too.

I'm hearing the
same crap on the radio in N.Y. People where picking them for last place. I REMEMBER!  

Now they are saying we expected this. They were on the verge of making it last year. FUNNY!
