Keep Scott Mitchell" (1993 Miami Dolphins) -- "Chip Kelly is the answer to our city's prayer" (2013-2015 Philadelphia Eagles -- "How could the Ravens pass up Lawrence Phillips, take OT Jonathan Ogden, and draft 'smallish' Ray Lewis?"

(1992-1998 Green Bay Packers) -- "The Vikings fleeced the Cowboys to get Herschel Walker (1989-1993 Dallas Cowboys) -- "Turns out, the Patriots' unlikely 2001 season journey seems more and more like an aberration" (2000-2005 New England Patriots).

Summary:
"Since 2015, Fred Segal has chronicled unprophetic sports predictions on the internet. [This book] is a vast collection of poorly aged NFL commentary made by media, coaches, and sports personalities. In each chapter, Segal does a deep dive into the reasonings and context in which the prediction was made -- and why it went so terribly wrong. Exploring ill-fated takes like "The Patriots will regret hiring Bill Belichick" and "The Dolphins could have had their next Dan Marino if they selected Brady Quinn," this is a wholly unique and endlessly entertaining lens through which to explore NFL history." -- Back cover.
