Reggie's Undefeated Prediction

SaintPauly · 10-28-2009, 06:06 PM

In an interview, on sporting news radio this morning, Reggie Bush was asked: "Can you guys go undefeated this season?" Reggie's response: "Yes, this team CAN go undefeated. We have the players, the coaches, and the heart to do it." Now that was paraphrased, but essentially what he said.

All the analysts are going crazy over this, saying that it is too bold of a prediction. Now.... WHAT WAS HE SUPPOSED TO SAY TO THIS? "Um, I'm sorry, but no, this team CAN'T go undefeated. We will eventually lose a game in there somewhere. I don't have enough faith in myself, or my teammates, to make a prediction like that."

Look at the question: "CAN you guys go undefeated this year?" Not, "WILL you guys go undefeated this year?" He answered it correctly. Say what you want, but how you phrase a question, has alot to do with the way you answer it. Reggie answered it the only way he could.
