* In 2009, then-New York Giants player Antonio Pierce lambasted then-Oakland Raiders’ performance that season, specifically saying the Giants’ game against them that year felt less like a pro game and more like a scrimmage. Come 2023, he ends up coaching the Raiders.

* In February 2023, Green Bay Packers podcaster Andy Herman made a joking [[https://twitter.com/AndyHermanNFL/status/1621192776573493250 tweet]] saying, "Just went to an advanced script reading of the #Packers 2023 season and let me just tell you… wow. *Spoilers* Week 13 is going to blow your f’n mind." In Week 13 of the subsequent season, the Packers got a stunning upset win over the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday Night Football. (Keep in mind here that the schedule isn't released until May, so even guessing that the Week 13 game would be ''significant'' was a total shot in the dark -- for all anyone knew at that point, Week 13 could have ended up being the team's bye -- to say nothing of the result.)

* During the lead-up to the 1988 World Series opener between the Oakland Athletics and Los Angeles Dodgers; much had been made of Kirk Gibson not being likely to play due to a nagging leg injury. Following the National Anthem performance by 1980s [[IdolSinger teen pop star]] Debbie Gibson, NBC pregame host Bob Costas commented that, "The Dodgers have Debbie Gibson. If only they had '''Kirk''' Gibson". Late in the game, of course, Kirk Gibson would hit the famous game-winning homer (his only at-bat during the series) while limping his way through the bases.
