The NFL stashed the news about Justin Fields' epilepsy to drop during a slow news week.

If the draft wasn't pushed back this far, we might never have found out about it... They're like, hey, the week before, let's drop the epilepsy story. We're going to stash that one away because people are going to be starved for some news.

This is a media theory that cannot be definitively proven, but the timing of the news drop was widely noted by draft analysts.

Two quarterbacks will be drafted immediately after Mac Jones goes off the board.

I think that there's going to be, after Mac goes, I think that it's just going to be two quarterbacks immediately after him.

Mac Jones was drafted 15th. The next quarterback taken was Kyle Trask at 64th and Davis Mills at 67th. There was no run immediately after Jones.

I am skeptical of Nick Sirianni because he self-leaked the rock-paper-scissors draft story.

He put the news out there that he was evaluating draft prospects by asking them to play rock, paper, scissors against them... I would have liked this story if someone else had reported it... but the fact that he put it out there, he's like, look at this cool, smart, awesome football guy thing that I did... I'm officially skeptical of Nick Sirianni at this point.

Mark Davis will eventually have to sell the Raiders because he won't be able to afford the inheritance tax.

And then when Mark gets the team, he's not going to have the money to pay the inheritance tax on it. Correct. And so he'll have to sell that team.

This prediction depends on future events (Carol Davis passing and subsequent tax filings). As of now, Mark Davis still owns the team.

Devonta Smith will succeed in the NFL despite concerns about his height and weight.

They're going after both [height and weight]. They're saying he's not able to play at the big boy level? Yeah, which is crazy because I think that guy is going to be able to play at the big boy level.

Devonta Smith became a star for the Eagles, recording multiple 1,000-yard seasons early in his career.

Joel Embiid's missed full-court heave against the Suns is the best shot in NBA history.

I don't care that it didn't go in. I think that is the best shot... that's the best shot in NBA history. ... The process of that shot, I'm not going to base whether or not it was a good shot off if it went in. ... The most incredible thing I've ever seen on a basketball court.

Patrick Mahomes' diving incompletion in Super Bowl LV is the best throw ever made on a football field.

Nikola Jokic is the NBA MVP.

Jokic is our MVP. I was reminded we're nuggets podcast. ... 7% credit. All I was saying was I was just throwing it out there.

Nikola Jokic was named the 2020-21 NBA MVP in June 2021.

We are in the golden age of fans eating shit in the stands at baseball games.

I think we are in a golden age that we have to appreciate right this second with spaced out seating to just see awesome videos of people eating shit because think about it usually there's fans so you're not going to go for a ball right... Now it's just selling out.

The sports world has forgotten about Saquon Barkley.

I think we've forgotten about Saquon Barkley. I just haven't heard his name a lot... I'm not trying to make a grand point or anything out of this. I'm just saying that I feel like as a nation we've forgotten about Saquon.

Barkley would return to prominence later, but in April 2021 he was indeed out of the news cycle due to rehab.

Alaskan crab fishing is an addiction that offers a reward you can't find in any other type of fishing.

And I like to pleasure fish, but at the same time, it's an addiction, right? And so... I think, you know, if you're good at what you do... you're not going to get the same reward doing that when you've done both. right and this is like an addiction thing this is like your you know this is your fix.

I am going to make people know who Jeremy Smith is for once by fighting him.

I'm going to box. I'm going to fight. I'm going to make people know who the fuck Jeremy Smith is for once. ... and I'm going to make some money.

Jeremy Dynamite Smith won the fight, but Hornswoggle's prediction about eyes on the fight was correct given the high viewership for that R&R.

The European Super League would actually have been sweet because of the high-level matchups.

The Super League kind of would have been sweet. ... Imagine if there was just a Wednesday, like every Wednesday afternoon, just the best teams in the world playing each other. ... would you watch because it's going to be sweet. They'd be like, yeah, I'd watch. ... It would have been fucking sweet.

The European Super League was a trial balloon that will eventually lead to it actually happening.

It's going to happen. The Super League's going to happen. This was a trial balloon that they sent out there.

While the specific breakaway league failed, UEFA changed the Champions League format to a 'Swiss Model' that guarantees more games between top clubs, often called a 'compromise Super League'.

Losing your debit card is a good way to replenish your finances by clearing out forgotten subscriptions.

That's how I look at losing my debit card sometimes because you get the monthly charges for things that you forget that you're subscribed to. And so then those charges stop and then you have to re-sign up for them again. You can look at this in a positive light, Bubba.
