Unscheduled changes in power: Nigeria predictions come through (congrats to Joel Schumacher and Josh Hill), Poland, United Kingdom.
Peter Orzag departs the Cabinet. All but one predictor anticipated some shake-up, but nobody named Orzag. Note: credit is not given for "all of them," and variants thereof.
Stanley Cup: Blackhawks d. Flyers. Sam Barer picked the Hawks to win it, but let's face it, nobody had the Flyers. Nobody.
Duke broke through and won the NCAA lacrosse title, to the delight of 4 predictors. Hopkins did manage to squeak into the tournament, only to get drubbed in the opening round by the eventual champs.
NBA Finals: Lakers d. Celtics. Kevin Haggard and Sam Barer predicted Boston-LA, but both had Celts in 6. Several others correctly picked the Lakers to win the title.
World Cup: Netherlands gets to final, defying the boldest predictions of all. Spain had only five nods, but rewarded Sam Barer and Chris Fitzgerald with their victory. The over-under on the number of yellow cards in the final would have been a great question, though it would likely have been underestimated this year.
If only these and previously scored categories are included, the current leader is:
Chris Fitzgerald.
