SAFE SPACE ALERT: Bad Take Edition

We’re all guilty. 

He/She without a terrible sports take/prediction simply hasn’t ever had a sports take/prediction. 

We’ve all been there, we’ve all been taken in by the hype, highlights, interviews, stories, and of course- our own bias. 

So let’s have some good old fashioned amnesty: 

No judgement. No laughing. We are all family. 

The question: 
Over the last 5-10 years, what’s your worst/most embarrassing sports take/prediction? 

Don’t hold back. It will feel so good to let it out, just like these fine folks did below: 

Here’s some of mine. In no particular order

Derron Williams is better then Chris Paul
Martell Webster is going to be good
Jimmer can be a starter in the league

I will hopefully think of some more really bad ones https://t.co/WAxElLHOm6

I hadn’t thought of Deron Williams in a while. Boy was he great for a while.

He’s been carrying that around for a lonnnnng time (so have many of us). 

I’ve said, “Couldn’t get much worse for the Kings” so many times. https://t.co/L9h2ctWBZV

Same here pal.

I’m so glad the Kings drafted Thomas Robinson https://t.co/Phf41au1yX

I was sooooo sure of this pick. Now I don’t trust anyone from Kansas, and I may never. 

Being happy that George Karl joined the Kings is pretty up there.

I wanted Arron Afflalo really badly and may be part of the reason he even came to the Kings(I and a few other Kings fans told Pete to get him on the infamous bus ride) https://t.co/sb9iZhqav0

So many of us are guilty that I now believe it’s not our fault. 

So you get the idea, more on Thursday. 

Put yours below in the comments, and/or tweet me yours (@carmichaeldave).
