Josh Allen is going to be the number one pick in the NFL Draft

Josh Allen is the quarterback's quarterback. He's tall, big hands... and he is going to be the number one pick because we have endorsed him as the number one Josh Allen podcast.

Josh Allen was selected 7th overall by the Buffalo Bills; Baker Mayfield was the #1 pick.

2018 will finally be the year Ryan Tannehill takes the next step

Ryan Tannehill's next year is going to be the year. He's taking the next step this year. Always taking the next step.

Tannehill didn't 'take the step' in 2018; he was traded the following offseason after a forgettable year.

Kevin Love was not actually sick when he left the game against the Thunder

I don't think Kevin Love was sick. I'm going to be the one to say it... I think Kevin Love is maybe like he gets more shit than any other athlete ever. Undeserved shit.

This is a subjective claim about an athlete's physical health during a team drama incident.

LeBron James' Instagram post to his younger self is the most unintentionally funny thing ever

Every single time you read something [LeBron James] posts, it is like the most unintentionally funny shit that you will ever hear in your life... He invented fourth person. It's him referring to himself, but in the past.

The humor of the post is subjective, though the post itself is legendary in NBA circles for its absurdity.

The Patriots will win Super Bowl LII because they are wearing road white jerseys

The team wearing white jerseys has won the Super Bowl in 12 of the previous 13 seasons... Patriots are 3-0 with wearing white jerseys... Should we even watch the Super Bowl? Probably not. I'm just going to bet Patriots money line.

The Eagles (wearing green) defeated the Patriots (wearing white) 41-33.

Amazon's no-employee stores are the beginning of the robot takeover

Amazon opened its first no-employee store... I'm pretty sure this is exactly how the robot takeover starts... I think we're all fucked. So this is basically 1984. This is Big Brother. It exists, but it exists in supermarkets.

The 'robot takeover' is a hyperbolic subjective prediction.

North Carolina is not actually that good and will end up as a 4 or 5 seed

[North Carolina] is like a four or five seed is what they're going to end up being... I didn't think Carolina was that good coming into the year. I feel like they've overachieved at this point. They just have like an obvious lack of talent compared to most really good Carolina teams.

UNC over-performed Titus's expectation, earning a #2 seed in the 2018 NCAA Tournament.

Duke is cheating to land the top recruits in college basketball

I seriously do think Duke is cheating their ass off. It's amazing to me that Coach K has kind of brainwashed the rest of the country that if this happened literally any other school, people would start screaming about how they're cheating... Duke is landing the top three guys, and they're not paying anybody? No.

While there were rumors and FBI investigations into CBB recruiting, no definitive evidence ever publicly emerged that Duke specifically 'cheated' for this class.

Oklahoma and Trae Young will not make the Final Four because of their defense

Is Trae Young, like, can Trae Young take Oklahoma to a Final Four? No, I don't think [so]. One, I don't think the defense is good enough... In a single elimination, they just don't play good enough defense.

Oklahoma was a #10 seed and lost in the first round to Rhode Island.

The Big 12 conference is one-dimensional and will struggle in the NCAA Tournament

The Big 12 is the best conference in college basketball, but every single team has a fatal flaw. It wouldn't surprise me if they get seven teams into the tournament and get one team to even make the Sweet 16.

The Big 12 actually performed very well: Kansas made the Final Four, K-State and Texas Tech made the Elite Eight, and West Virginia made the Sweet 16.

Villanova is clearly the best team in the country

I think [Villanova] is clearly the best team in the country, and they have like six guys who would start on virtually any team, which is kind of incredible to think about.

Villanova dominated the 2018 tournament and won the National Championship.

Kentucky stinks and might actually miss the NCAA tournament

Kentucky, hot take. Kentucky might miss the tournament. They stink... Kentucky is terrible, and if they continue on this path they're on, they might fall out of the tournament at the last second.

Kentucky not only made the tournament but entered as a #5 seed and reached the Sweet 16.

A drinking straw only has one hole

I think it's one hole... Straw is the sphere... the hole starts and it just goes on forever. If you go in a tunnel, are you saying there's no hole in a tunnel? No, the entire tunnel is a hole. That's one hole.

This is a topologically subjective and semantic debate.
