Skip Bayless is the king of it. He always sets things up in a way so that he ends up being right. For example, he could be talking shit about Rodgers, saying he's no Brady, etc., but still pick the Packers to win. If they win, then he was right because he picked them, but will give tons of credit to the entire team to diminish Rodgers. If they lose, "I told you he's no Brady! I've been saying it all along!" At that point, people are focusing on his Rodgers take and forgetting that he picked Rodgers and the Packers to win.
