Re: John Riggins prediction for the '07 season
I just thought it was interesting since he's usually pretty negative about the team. I'm fully aware that he's a bit of a nut, but that's also what makes him Riggo.

Re: John Riggins prediction for the '07 season
I don't listen to him but I thought last year he wasn't very high on the team headed into the season?

Re: John Riggins prediction for the '07 season
I really love Riggo and everything he did for our club, but I can't take him seriously when it comes to his prognostications and opinions about the league.

Re: John Riggins prediction for the '07 season
Love Riggo the player and the personality but not the greatest analyst. I think that the D will be top 5 in yardage allowed but some of that is going to be bc of the short fields other teams will have to work with. I think a better indicator of improvement will be more TO's from the D.

Re: John Riggins prediction for the '07 season
I always got the impression Riggo wasn't a big Danny fan, at least in terms of the owner's personel moves.
I try not to criticize predictions too much, just the logic or lack thereof. If Riggo is saying that our D & O have made improvements in the offseason, I'd agree. Whether they've made enough of an improvement to put us in the top 5 that's a bold call, but I can see it IF we stay healthy. Predictions are really tough in today's nfl. I remember in the 80s Dr. Z was right on w/a lot of his preseason super bowl picks. These are more volatile times in the nfl. If Brian Mitchell & Steve what's his name on comcast come out & say we're a playoff team, that will really be news. |

Re: John Riggins prediction for the '07 season
Riggins will make his main prediction the Thursday before the opener on the season premiere of Redskins Report with George Michael on WRC TV 4, along with Wilbon and Sonny. They seem to usually all land between 8 - 8 and 10 - 6 somehow. I expect John will be in the 9 and 7 range.

Re: John Riggins prediction for the '07 season
He may not know about football. He may be a crappy radio host. But I hear he has a huge cock.

Re: John Riggins prediction for the '07 season
Riggins is usually right on when it comes to his predictions. I can go back to when he predicted Steve Spurrier would fail. Then in the middle of Spurriers last season he predicted Spurrier would quite and go to North Carolina. Granted he wasn’t completely correct but he was very close. Last season he wasn’t very high on the Skins especially after the sloppy preseason.
As far as his radio show I live in Omaha, Nebraska and have never heard it so I can’t comment on it. I have heard him do football commentating on the radio and he is a lot better than most. If he was more politically correct he could be on Fox or ESPN but he says what he thinks and it upsets too many people. Just look at this discuss. |

Re: John Riggins prediction for the '07 season
Doc Walker made a comment on his show yesterday when his co-host predicted them to go 8-8 that he believed they would be much better than that barring injuries. He has been critical lately as well so I was surprised he was saying something positive.
