The turn of any year is always a trendy time for some crystal-ball gazing, sports included.

But it’s a lot more fun to talk about what we’d most like to see on the gridiron, diamond, hardwood and beyond than what we think will actually happen — and if this writer was any good at betting big on bold sporting predictions, I’d be doing that for a living instead of this.
