ALLENTOWN, Pa. Vans Sk8 Hi Clearance . -- Former pro wrestling star Jimmy Superfly Snuka is in hospice care in Florida and has six months to live, his lawyer said Friday.The disclosure was made during a hearing to re-evaluate the 73-year-old Snukas mental fitness six months after a judge ruled him incompetent to stand trial in the 1983 death of his girlfriend.Snukas wife, Carole Snuka, told the judge via live video that the family struggles to keep him from leaving home during bouts of psychosis in which he thinks hes late for a WWE wrestling match, according to The Morning Call newspaper in Allentown. Prosecutors have said the wrestler might be faking.Jimmy Snuka also testified Friday via live video feed, answering questions about the recent presidential election and Thanksgiving. His attorney, Robert Kirwan, told the judge that doctors last week declared the wrestler too sick to travel.Snuka was unable to say who won the election, but he told Judge Kelly Banach that he had Thanksgiving dinner with all of his children. His wife, who was at his side in Florida, later said the Thanksgiving dinner was in his imagination.Snukas wife said doctors are no longer treating most of his physical conditions and have prescribed a daily dose of morphine and anti-psychotics for him.Theyre making sure hes happy and not in pain, Carole Snuka told the judge.Snuka, a native of Fiji who previously lived in New Jersey, was charged last year with murder and involuntary manslaughter in the death of 23-year-old Nancy Argentino, whose body was found in their Whitehall Township hotel room. Prosecutors allege she was beaten, while Snuka has maintained that she died from a fall.The judge asked Snuka if he believed that he could still wrestle in his present condition.Im pretty sure, he said.The defense has argued that Snuka suffers from dementia, partly due to the head trauma he sustained over a long career in the ring. Prosecutors have argued his brain shows normal signs of aging and suggested he might be feigning symptoms.The judge did not make a ruling after the hearing, saying she wanted to review Snukas latest medical records before determining if she will dismiss the case or if she believes Snukas condition is likely to improve. Vans Old Skool White Sale . -- San Francisco 49ers linebacker Ahmad Brooks was fined $15,570 by the NFL on Wednesday for his hit on Saints quarterback Drew Brees last Sunday. Vans Shoes Sale .  Aside from the trilogy main event title fight, there are a number of intriguing matchups in the heavyweight, welterweight and lightweight divisions. http://www.vansshoesclearancesale.com/vans-old-skool-sale.html . On Tuesday, Ottawa placed forward Cory Conacher and defenceman Joe Corvo on waivers as trade rumours swirl around the Senators. Any time you have any sort of opinion these days, it is labeled a hot take. The more outlandish the opinion, the hotter the take. I sort of hate all of it, but this column is the closest I come to that sort of thing ... its my ninth annual bold predictions piece, aka You heard me.The premise is very simple. Pretend we are having a conversation and Id say something nutty.ME: You know, I believe the Redskins win the Super Bowl! YOU: What?!!? ME: You heard me! Its an outrageous and unlikely prediction, but its not impossible. All 32 teams, in theory, could win the Super Bowl.So thats what we are dealing with here. To be a bold prediction, it has to be, in fact, bold. Saying I think Aaron Rodgers is going to have a great year is not bold, it is in fact likely to happen based on his talent and previous production. A bold prediction would be to say Rodgers finishes outside the top 15 at QB (he never has been lower than seventh). Im not saying that, by the way, as Rodgers is my No. 2 QB.Ive made a ton of predictions this preseason, and while the odds say its unlikely all of them will come true, they are steeped in research, scouting and facts that suggest they are much more likely to happen than not.So the idea for this column is not to nail low-percentage outrageous predictions, but rather to highlight players I have strong feelings about, one way or the other. These are scenarios that are not likely to happen, but they arent impossible, either.And frankly, its not important whether I get it right.You heard me.Because thats not the point of this column. In last years edition, I said, I say Tyrod Taylor, currently being undrafted, is a top-15 fantasy quarterback. Technically, I got that wrong. He finished 16th among QBs. But considering that on a points-per-game basis he was a top-10 QB, and certainly he returned tremendous value for anyone who drafted him late, I count that as a win and if youre using this column the right way, so should you.Among the other not-obvious things I nailed in last years column? Big seasons for John Brown, Michael Crabtree and Delanie Walker. Of course, I also predicted big things for Joseph Randle, Charles Johnson and Andre Johnson, among many other misses. This is high-risk, high-reward territory we are entering here.So again, please use this column as intended: to highlight players I have a strong feeling about one way or the other, to make you feel better about your own predictions and to subtly remind you that I have an awesome premium fantasy football site called RotoPass.com, complete with a fancy box to the right!So here you go. One bold prediction per NFL team, in alphabetical order, with my thinking behind it. You heard me.Arizona Cardinals: I say John Brown, currently being drafted at WR30 and behind Michael Floyd and Larry Fitzgerald, finishes as a top-12 fantasy wide receiver. My thinking: He had 10 regular-season games in 2015 with 99 yards OR a touchdown ... the same number as Antonio Brown, Julio Jones and DeAndre Hopkins. The deep threat on a deep-throwing team, he has continued to improve and takes the next step this year.Atlanta Falcons: I say Devonta Freeman, last years No. 1 running back and currently being drafted as RB5, finishes outside the top 20 at RB. My thinking: A historic and unlikely-to-repeat first half last season masked a very pedestrian second half. More touches for Tevin Coleman plus additional weapons in the passing game lower Freemans touchdown total and make him more of a low-end RB2/flex type than a fantasy stud.Baltimore Ravens: I say Kamar Aiken, currently being drafted as WR54, finishes as a top-25 WR. My thinking: Last season, if you took the best receiver stat line for each game between him and Steve Smith Sr., you get a 101-catch 1,412-yard, 7-touchdown season (for comparison, last seasons WR10 Larry Fitzgerald finished with 109 catches, 1,215 yards, 9 TDs). Smith is 37 years old and, although Mike Wallace got a lot of targets in one preseason game, theres a reason Wallace is on his third team in three years. Nothing flashy about Aiken, he just keeps getting the job done when given a chance. This season, one way or another, he gets another shot.Buffalo Bills: I say Tyrod Taylor finishes the season as a top-five fantasy QB. My thinking: He was a top-10 QB on a points-per-game basis last season. Now, coming into the season knowing hes the starter, having established a rapport with Sammy Watkins and, possessing strong rushing ability, he just needs to play all 16 games.Carolina Panthers: I say Devin Funchess, currently being drafted as WR46 in the 13th round, outscores Kelvin Benjamin, currently being drafted as WR24 in the sixth round. My thinking: Hes 6-foot-4 and Benjamin is 6-foot-5, so theyre both obvious red zone targets. Both of these guys will start, so I ultimately expect it to come down to touchdowns, and its not crazy to think Funchess could get more of those than Benjamin. Funchess is having a great camp, building on a nice second half last season and certainly is a much cheaper option.Chicago Bears: I say Jeremy Langford, currently being drafted outside the top 20 at running back, finishes the season with more fantasy points than Matt Forte had in 2015 (159, RB8) and causes my friend and colleague Mike Clay to question everything he holds dear in this world. My thinking: He has looked good this preseason. In the four games in which he got 15-plus touches last season, he had 449 yards and four scores, and theres not a lot else on the Bears roster these days.Cincinnati Bengals: I say Tyler Boyd, currently being drafted as WR67, leads all rookie wide receivers in fantasy points. My thinking: Despite strong buzz around guys like Sterling Shepard, Corey Coleman, Tajae Sharpe, Laquon Treadwell, Will Fuller and, for some, Michael Thomas, there are 153 targets that Mohamed Sanu and Marvin Jones left behind. Tyler Eifert is hurt, and I am not a Brandon LaFell believer. Boyd will be an important part of this offense from moment one.Cleveland Browns: I say Terrelle Pryor, currently being drafted as WR66, finishes as a top-30 WR. My thinking: We discussed this on the podcast the other day. Pryor is a favorite of my colleague Anita Marks, and this is a team that is going to have to throw, throw, throw in the second half of games. The 6-foot-4 Pryor, who has a relationship with Hue Jackson back to their Oakland days, will become a nice red zone target for RG III.Dallas Cowboys: I say Dez Bryant, currently being drafted as a top-seven wide receiver, finishes the season outside the top 20. My thinking: Im nervous about him reinjuring the foot, and Im nervous about him playing without Tony Romo. If you take his career numbers without Romo and then spread them over a 16-game season, hes Jermaine Kearse last season. Dak Prescott will be better than what theyve had previously, but hes still a rookie.Denver Broncos: I say Virgil Green, currently being drafted as TE26, finishes the season as a top-12 TE. My thinking: The Broncos have a QB in Trevor Siemian, who is inexperienced but having a strong preseason. Gary Kubiaks TE-friendly system and Greens 6-foot-5, 255-pound frame makes for a nice payoff in the red zone. That will make Green one of the seasons earliest free-agent pickups in 10-team leagues.Detroit Lions: I say Matthew Stafford, currently being drafted as QB15 and without Calvin Johnson as a teammate for the first time, has the best statistical season of his career. My thinking: Its all about Jim Bob Cooter, baby. He will sprinkle his magic Cooter dust all over Stafford and voila! Stud. Jokes aside, Stafford feels very comfortable in Cooters system and was a top-five QB last season after his bye week (when Cooter took over). With post-hype sleeper Ameer Abdullah and Eric Ebron finally taking the next step, Stafford ends up with more weapons than ever before.Green Bay Packers: I say Jordy Nelson, currently being drafted as WR8, finishes the season as the No. 1 wide receiver in fantasy. My thinking: Well, its tough to do a bold prediction on the Packers. Theyre all so damn good that you cant go negative on them. Since 2011, Nelson is the ninth-best wide receiver in fantasy, and thats while missing 20 gamees in that span. Vans Old Skool Cheap. Now fully healthy, Aaron Rodgers top target gets back to being a scoring machine.Houston Texans: I say Lamar Miller, currently being drafted in the second round at 15th overall and RB7, finishes the season as the No. 1 RB in fantasy. My thinking: Please read anything else I have written this preseason: 100 Facts, Love/Hate, anything. I love Lamar Miller. LOVE.Indianapolis Colts: I say Frank Gore, currently being drafted as RB25 in the eighth round, finishes with at least 160 points, which last year would have been RB8. My thinking: The only guy on an offense that should be much more efficient this season, Gore is a workhorse who rarely comes off the field and stays healthy. Hes a good pass-catcher too, and Luck loves to dump off to his running backs.Jacksonville Jaguars: I say Blake Bortles, the fourth-best QB in fantasy last season, finishes outside the top 15 at QB this season. My thinking: A better Jaguars team means less junk-time scoring (85 percent of Bortles touchdowns last season came when trailing), and Chris Ivory takes away a lot of the short TDs Bortles got last year.Kansas City Chiefs: I say Spencer Ware, currently being drafted as RB53, in the 15th round, finishes as a top-25 running back. My thinking: Hell certainly have a role (he has been getting a lot of first-team reps in practice), has a nose for the end zone and, given Jamaal Charles injury history, could be vaulted into a top-10 back.Los Angeles Rams: I say Jeff Fisher is fired after the season, after failing to get to 8-8. My thinking: I cant come up with a bold prediction for the Rams that I even remotely believe. Todd Gurley is good. Tavon Austin will be inconsistent. Theres no one else on the team that I have a strong feeling about, fantasywise. But Fisher, who miraculously keeps his job long after other coaches would have been fired for similarly subpar seasons, finally gets the axe this year.Miami Dolphins: I say Kenyan Drake, currently going undrafted in standard leagues, finishes the season with the most fantasy points of any Dolphins running back. My thinking: The talented rookie certainly has big-play potential, and I dont expect Arian Foster or Jay Ajayi to stay healthy all year.Minnesota Vikings: I say Stefon Diggs, currently being drafted outside the top 40 at WR and who just lost his starting quarterback for the season, has 1,000 yards and at least six touchdowns, which last year would have been WR21. My thinking: They are still going to need to generate offense, and without Bridgewater, teams will stack the box even more against Adrian Peterson, daring the Vikes to throw it. Diggs will see a lot of man coverage, which he c
