I am trying to recall a national sports guy saying something like that about other overhyped athletes — Jeremy Lin, Michelle Wie, Danica Patrick, Tim Tebow, Johnny Manziel, Freddie Adu before they actually fizzled or flopped. Usually they wait for them to fail before savaging them. Maybe Rick Reilly predicting Zach Johnson would be an Olive Garden waiter within 10 years after winning the 2007 Masters is about as close as I can come to someone who went preemptive strike. Didn't work out for Reilly.
