The Jaguars already hate Urban Meyer

I think the Jaguars already hate Urban Meyer. I think that Trevor Lawrence hates Urban Meyer. Yeah. You know what Urban Meyer is doing? He's doing the old Mike Martz on offense. I'm not gonna leave anybody in there to protect you... I've heard some of the players aren't thrilled with him either.

Urban Meyer's tenure was famously disastrous and he was fired mid-season in December 2021 after multiple reports of player and staff discord.

Urban Meyer will be out of the NFL within two years

I don't think it's going to work. I think that he's going to be out of the league... This is right now a clip that we're saying that is absolutely going to be used against us in like two years. When you put your, put your, I I've said it when he got hired, I don't think it's going to work.

Meyer didn't even last one full season, making this prediction highly accurate.

The Broncos will be a profitable betting team because of Teddy Bridgewater's stability

This team, the Broncos this year will be a bet on team for me because Teddy Bridgewater is perfect for Vic Fangio's defense like a quarterback that's not going to make mistakes, not going to lose you the game. Let the defense win you the game.

The 2021 Broncos finished 7-10 and 8-9 ATS, essentially a break-even team, though they started strong.

I could easily hit home runs off Little League World Series pitchers

I'd love to fucking just Jack home runs off these little kids. This guy throws Gavin Weir could strike me out. Yes... But if you go up against one of the guys that's throwing 70 miles an hour, I would absolutely be able to take a lefty. I could go yard off a lefty that's throwing 70 miles an hour.

Subjective claim that can't be proven, though 70mph at LLWS distance is equivalent to 90+ mph in the MLB.

Matthew Stafford signing a yoga endorsement deal is a major red flag

He signed two endorsements deals this off season... Second with a yoga apparel company. So no more wide nine, Matt Stafford, no more fat Stafford. He's like Hollywood now. So part of what I used to like about Matt Stafford is he had a little bit chunk going... never try to be too great at anything.

Stafford went on to win the Super Bowl in his first year with the Rams, proving the 'Hollywood' shift didn't hurt his play.

Watching football is 10 times more stressful than playing it

It proves that watching football is by a factor of 10 more difficult than playing football. We just, they, they are the operator of the rollercoaster. We're just so long for the ride. So we prove it our point. Yeah. I already got it. I'd like to see one of them trade positions with us for a weekend. They couldn't do it.

Inherently subjective and comedic, though they 'proved' it via a pseudo-scientific stress test.

Pool water isn't actually blue; the lining is white and the water is clear

No, the water's clear... I think the walls, the walls are white, the bottom's white and the water's clear... This is the hill I'm dying on right now. The teas were definitely black... the water is clear and the lining of the pool was white.

While water is clear, Rayleigh scattering makes large bodies of water look blue. However, many competition pools use white or light grey liners, making the 'blue' purely a reflection of lighting or depth.

I could swim 10 miles to shore to survive a shipwreck even with a shark nearby

I can make it. I can go to, I can get 10 miles, 10 miles... if it's just on survival alone, if the shark wasn't in there, I think I could do, I definitely could do way more, but that's the only sketchy part.

Purely hypothetical, but he is arguably the best person on earth to test this.

I can hold my breath for over 5 minutes

I did his [Wim Hof] technique. One day I was about to fall asleep. I was like, I'm just going to try, I'm going to try holding my breath. I dude, I made it five minutes and six seconds. Yeah. In the scariest part, the scariest part is I, I felt fine.

As a world-record swimmer, his lung capacity is elite, and 5 minutes is within the realm of possibility for trained athletes.

Bobby Laing will knock out Pacman Jones

I'll tell you right now? I think you're going to get knocked out... I bet you a thousand dollars. All right. All right. So he'll win. I'm saying Bobby Laing will [win].

Pacman won the fight, making Big Cat's prediction (and $1k bet) incorrect.

I will defeat Bobby Laing at Rough and Rowdy 15

The main thing I'm thinking about whooping Bobby, making sure my hand getting pulled up at the end of the belt and collecting my thousand dollars now that I know between you guys... Bobby is a bull and I'm going to be the bull master.

Pacman Jones actually won the fight via decision on the night of the event.

Wedding Crashers is a romantic comedy

I'll probably get some pushback with this, but game on, I think Wedding Crashers, that's a raw romcom. That's a romantic comedy... mostly a story about two bros increasing there... The main driver, the main yeah, the driver becomes yes. Owen Wilson not... when they're on the bikes in the fucking meadow and they're, you know, doing the whole scene.

Film classification is subjective, but it is widely considered a romantic comedy despite its R-rated humor.
