Not on his Todd

I was going to get around to writing a light-hearted list of predictions for 2010 -- you know, the kind that includes generalisations that can be broadly interpreted and are bound to come true at least once in 365 days. On the list would have been something like "a prominent sportsman will be involved in an off-field incident that will jeopardise his playing career". It seems that one has already come true in respect to rugby league player Todd Carney, who allegedly set a man's pants on fire on New Year's Eve (after midnight, I'm hoping, or it would have to have been included in the 2009 predictions).
