Rod Smith: A Bandwagon of One

The Denver Broncos are 5-0.  Wait a second, let me double check that.  Hmm, story checks out.  Wait, maybe I should check one more source.  Well, what do you know?  I didn’t see that coming because, you know, the Broncos should be terrible.  Did you know Kyle Orton is their quarterback?  Even Kyle Orton is shocked that Kyle Orton’s team is undefeated.

One person that isn’t shocked is former Bronco Rod Smith.  He predicted Denver to win their first 5 games before the season even started.  Did I mention that he played his entire career for the Broncos?  Because I feel like that’s an important factor in this incredible foresight.

See, sometimes there’s a reason, or many reasons, why everyone in the entire world is predicting something to happen.  Like, if everyone is expecting the moon to stay in orbit, but one crazy guy, who is a giant moon homer, says he expects the moon to crash into the Earth tomorrow and he turns out to be right, is it because he really knows what he’s talking about or because he’s the only one crazy enough, with the right loyalties, to predict such a ridiculous thing.

Rod Smith basically predicted the moon would crash into the Earth, which is actually more likely than the Broncos being undefeated at this point in the season.  But let’s not get too carried away heaping praise on the guy.  I mean, are we amazed every time Notre Dame wins because Lou Holtz predicted it?  Or every time South Carolina wins because Lou Holtz predicted it?  No, it’s a homer pick.

This video, by the way, is kind of stupid, but I enjoy almost anything that points out when John Clayton and Mark Schlereth are wrong.  So enjoy because we only get this opportunity every time those two are on television.
