No more predictions

Saw this on Romenesko today and thought it was interesting. Denver Post sports writers will not make any more game predictions. That’s an age-old practice in most newsrooms, including ours. Do you think sports reporters should or shouldn’t offer their opinions on upcoming games — pros, college or preps? Does it undermine their objectivity?

I don’t think it undermines credibility. Honestly, I don’t know that it really adds anyting to the coverage. I mean, if XYZ sportswriter thinks the Bears will win 21-17, does it really matter one way or the other? He or she is just taking what he/she knows and making a prediction. Doesn’t really matter either way in my mind.
