Todd Haley and Baker Mayfield on Hard Knocks will be incredible television

Todd Haley dealing with Baker Mayfield, that's going to be incredible. There's definitely going to be a scene where Todd Haley's walking Baker through the playbook, and he's like, okay, so here's our basic formation. He clicks the slide. Oh, that's a picture of my wife's tits. Sorry, I don't know how that got in there.

The 2018 Browns Hard Knocks is widely considered one of the best seasons of the show, featuring the dysfunctional Haley/Jackson dynamic and Mayfield's rookie camp.

Steph Curry is definitely hurt because he's incapable of having a bad game otherwise

Oh, he's definitely hurt. Because there's no way that Steph Curry could have a bad game. No, this is Steph Curry we're talking about. He doesn't play bad. If he plays bad, it's because he's got a messed up MCL or an ankle injury.

Curry finished the series strong and won the title, and while he had missed time earlier, there was no major new injury reported after this game.

The Warriors will sweep the Rockets in the Western Conference Finals

Yeah, the series is over. I predicted a sweep, and I stand by that.

The series went 7 games, so the sweep prediction was immediately incorrect after Houston won Game 2.

I am not worried about the Washington Capitals despite the series being tied

Listen. We just wanted to say, as a team. It's our year. We're not worried. So the Capitals lost... But we didn't win. We didn't win, but we're the better team. Not worried.

The Capitals defeated the Lightning and went on to win the Stanley Cup, validating the 'not worried' stance.

The CHL Fortnite addiction story is a hoax created by an old-school GM

I'm a little bit woke on this... I'm a little bit woke that some grumpy Canadian GM was like, all these kids are playing their video games all the time, so we're going to make up a scare and make up a player and say that he's not going to make it.

The story remained anonymous and was heavily debated as a potential urban legend in hockey circles, with no specific player ever being officially outed as the 'Fortnite bust.'

A person can be judged by how they get ketchup out of a Heinz bottle

Basically, [Paul Alexander] decides that a player can be judged by how they get the ketchup out of their Heinz 57 ketchup bottle... 'When I see a large football player turn a bottle of ketchup upside down and pound at its heel with tremendous force yet with limited success, I immediately make the mental note he must either play defensive line or if he plays offensive line, he can't play for me.'

This is a subjective personality/intellect test used by a coach; its validity as a performance predictor is unprovable.

LeBron James will not sign with the Utah Jazz in free agency

You heard it here first, on Pardon My Take, we are officially reporting LeBron James will not be signing with the Utah Jazz. Not enough wine out there.

LeBron James signed with the Los Angeles Lakers, not the Utah Jazz.

Josh Allen can throw a football 92 yards

He can throw the ball 92 yards. 92s, exactly.

While Josh Allen has one of the strongest arms in NFL history, 92 yards in a game-like or practice setting is a slight hyperbole. He has been recorded throwing 80+ in training camp.

LeSean McCoy is the best cold-weather running back in the world

You do have the best cold-weather running back in the world on your team. LeSean McCoy, for some reason, when you put him in the snow, he gets better traction.

McCoy is statistically and visually one of the most successful snow-game players ever, though 'best in the world' is subjective.

I plan to play three more seasons in the NFL

I'm aiming for like three [more years]. That'll put me at 12 and i think that's you know that's a good [career].

Newhouse played 2018 (Bills), 2019 (Patriots/Saints), and was on rosters in 2020 (Titans), reaching the 3-year mark he predicted.
