I hope everyone has a great 2007. I especially wish our Philly Sports Teams a great 2007, even though, the last day of 2006 couldn't have gone any better for our Birds.
I really doubt a title is in the forecast for any of our teams in '07, but let's hope the Phils and Birds build off what they started this past season and the Sixers and Flyers have some good fortune in starting the rebuilding process.
Predictions for 2007:
Birds:
-McNabb comes back and squelches this ridiculous QB controversy
-Stallworth and Garcia will be resigned....Hood and Lewis will be gone.
-The Birds sign a big name CB or S in free agency
-They will draft a LB in the first round and Brian Leonard in the 2nd.
-They will again win the NFC East and get a 1st round bye.
Phils:
-Will finally make the playoffs this year in a down NL East.
-Strength of team will be starting staff
-Madsen returns to form in 'pen
-Will add the bat they need at the trade deadline
Sixers:
-Iggy will continue his development as a starter
-Andre Miller will help them win enough games that we don't have enough ping pong balls to get the #1 pick. We'll instead up with the third pick, which will be used on one of the following: Durant of Texas, Joakim Noah or Al Horford of Florida
-The team will only be marginally better next year
Flyers:
-The Flyers will get back into playoff contention over the next couple of months, but eventually fall short of the playoffs
-Forsberg is not re-signed, but the Flyers spend truck load on free agents
-Either Nitty or Esche will be traded and a new goalie brought in
-They will be back in playoff contention next year
Ok, maybe these are half baked, but everyone else in America is running a predictions column, so figured I'd throw my hat into the ring as well.

Hey Phan,
You missed one thing about the Phils this year...
Here's hoping that their "management by committee" approach in 2007 actually has some success.
Let's hope that the other guys surrounding Cholly will be able to school him on some of the finer points of baseball, e.g., the Double Switch, etc.
It was great to see you & the wife on New Year's eve at G's house.

Hey, how bout the Birds making a run right now. We got a bye last week and should face a cup cake in the Giants at home in 5 days. Then a stiff test in New Orleans. Let's remember the Saints have won only 1 playoff game in their history and we've seen 1 year wonders fall flat in the playoffs. Dare I say the Championship game could be in Philly considering the Bears are a disgrace of a team. Now, I do feel a bit of concern playing any of the AFC teams, including those that haven't made the playoffs, but lets not get ahead or ourselves......
