The Rangers finish out the 2008 season four games under .500, slightly off my prediction of finishing at .500. The Rangers have already made changes going into next season, the first casualties being bench coach Art Howe, who was responsible for the defense, which finished last, and third base coach Matt Walbeck. Both will not return to the organization next season, however, the Rangers will be looking for experience at bench coach. Don Baylor's name has been brought up in the mix, but it is too early to tell.

Training Camp Checkup: A team with two starting quarterbacks is a team with no starting quarterbacks
Friday Night Lights has come and gone, but the picture at quarterback has only gotten murkier. Every quarterback made his mark--be it positively or negatively. In his two series with the first team, Chris Redman, who is commonly projected to start the season at the top of the depth chart threw exactly one completion--to linebacker Michael Boley. Matt Ryan's first series went three-and-out and included an unspectacular intentional grounding penalty when Boley (again) came through the line and applied pressure. Ryan rebounded in the first series of the second half, finding Roddy White for a 60-yard TD pass.

I have never claimed to be an expert when it comes to predicting outcomes of football games, although last year I nearly predicted the exact final score of the Super Bowl while hitting on seven of my nine prop bets. (My prediction was 26-17, the final was 29-17.) For whatever reason I had a very good feel for that game. This year's Super Bowl, however, remains a mystery to me. Part of the reason I am having trouble getting a good feel for this game is that I am a bitter Jets fan and I can't stand either team. I'm finding it difficult to put my personal feelings aside and look at the game objectively. I think right now I am as close to objectivity as I am going to get, and with that being said, here is my official Super Bowl XLII prediction.
