Since it's March, the time when we attempt to winners, but usually end up missing the mark, maybe it's only fitting that I should dedicate some time to some of the worst predictions in sports.

Or, maybe just one. I found this today while utilizing my remaining free months of LexisNexis usage.

The prediction was made nine years ago by Armando Salguero, the Dolphins beat writer for The Miami Herald. Salguero was commenting on the upcoming 1998 NFL Draft and on the raging debate over whether the Peyton Manning or Ryan Leaf should be selected first in the NFL Draft.

Here's what Armando said.

"Other than Ryan Leaf, there are no can't-miss quarterbacks available. Peyton Manning? He'll be impressive as a rookie or second-year player because he's had better coaching, longer than anyone else.

"But while Leaf could be another Dan Marino, Manning will probably become Bernie Kosar."

Nothing else needs to be said.

(I'm still looking for a Ryan Leaf Chargers poster to put in my office next Fall.)
