I
didn't exactly cover myself in glory with my Wild Card Weekend Predictions, did
I? But so what? I'm not paid to be a pundit and it's only a bit of fun, so who
cares if I look like an idiot?
Anyway - to the facts. I only got 3 out of 6 right, giving me a success rate of
50%.
So, not exactly Grade A soothsaying by the Rory this
time around.
It's a bit annoying, I suppose, when one feels confident in one's ideas and one
feels one has a good amount of knowledge about a sport, only to see those pesky
American professionals mess up your suggested results, but it's not as if the
top pundits ever get these things right, and it's certainly not going to put me
off from trying again this weekend. (Divisional Round picks to be made on
Saturday - watch this space!)
In other news, I read a weird article in which an American doctor claims that
the San Francisco 49ers have had a lot of injuries over the past couple of
seasons because they have an electricity substation close to their training
ground. How on Earth the proximity of a power plant can cause someone to
rupture their Achilles tendon or dislocate their ankle is beyond me but I
suppose there will be those that believe him. And inspired by this, I'm going
to claim that my recent shoulder soreness is caused by me watching one of their
matches while sitting at home in Suffolk. Sounds ridiculous, I know, but no
more ridiculous than the original article, right?
