The Yankees will beat the Red Sox 5-4 in the 2021 Wild Card game

I'm going to go Yankees 5-4... The Powerball number that was drawn in Boston was 1-9-7-8, 1978. 1978, the Red Sox blew like a 20-game lead over the Yankees... Yankees win 5-4. Yankees go on to win the World Series over the Dodgers. That's what's happening this year.

The Red Sox won the game 6-2, so both the score and the winner were incorrect.

Garrett Cole will be chased from the Wild Card game after only two innings

Garrett Cole getting chased after two innings would be great. Schwarber going yard off Cole, hitting the ball 500 feet.

Garrett Cole was pulled after exactly 2.0 innings of work in the Wild Card game.

The Chargers are the most complete team in the AFC

The story was the Chargers are awesome. The Chargers are really good. I think that they are the best team in the AFC right now. I think they're the most complete team. The defense is awesome. Defensive line is really good. The offensive line sucked last year, and they fixed that.

The Chargers finished 9-8 and missed the playoffs entirely, while the Chiefs and Bills remained the class of the AFC.

Texas will beat Oklahoma in the 2021 Red River Rivalry

I actually think Texas can beat Oklahoma on Saturday. Clemson has two losses. Everything is setting up to have Cincinnati or BYU crash the party and lose by 100 to Alabama.

Oklahoma won the game 55-48.

A one-loss Power 5 team will still get into the College Football Playoff over an undefeated Cincinnati

I still think a one-loss Power 5 team will get in over Cincinnati just because that's what they do... they also don't have a schedule, enough data points is what they call it, to probably climb back.

Cincinnati finished undefeated and was selected for the 2021 College Football Playoff.

The upcoming Game of Thrones prequel will be disappointing because it reminds fans of the original show's ending

The end of Game of Thrones sucks. And they're never making more Game of Thrones ever again. So even though if this is good, it's still one of those things where if you watch it, you're like, this is the best series ever. Can't wait to see what happens. That person is going to be disappointed. It's going to bring back feelings of just like sadness.

House of the Dragon was widely considered a return to form for the franchise and was not disappointing for most fans.

I would average 20 points and 20 rebounds in today's NBA

I'd probably get 20-20. One thing about rebound now is the field goal percentage is probably down 3 or 4% than when we played... more three-pointers being taken, so that means maybe more rebound opportunities... They can't shoot, really. I mean, the shooting is bad.

This is a classic former-player claim that cannot be proven, though 20/20 averages are historically extremely rare.

P.J. Tucker is the toughest guy in the NBA right now

I don't know who tough. I mean, I ain't seen a fight. I see it by the hug and kissing... maybe Tucker. P.J. Tucker. I mean, I like the way he played, and he got up in KD, phased in, back down.

Toughness is subjective, but P.J. Tucker is widely regarded by peers as one of the most physical and toughest players in the league.

Michael Jordan is #1 all-time and LeBron James is #2

MJ1, LeBron2. They always want to throw a center at 30, so we're going to have to give it to probably Kareem or Shaq.

This is a subjective GOAT debate ranking.

Urban Meyer will not finish the season as the Jaguars head coach

Is this going to end Urban Meyer's career in the NFL before the season's over? I think it's more Bobby Petrino than Nick Saban. I really do. I think this is bad, man. And it's not just because of this. There's been so many other things that have gone on... I think it puts Urban Meyer in a position where maybe he would resign. Maybe they work out a little bit of a settlement.

Urban Meyer was fired on December 16, 2021, before the end of his first season.

The Buffalo Bills will face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Super Bowl LVI

Well, my Super Bowl matchup before the season was Buffalo and Tampa Bay. And I think I'll stick with that for now... I think the Bills are the best team in the AFC. And the Cardinals are playing well, but I think Tampa Bay will get it together and start playing really well on defense.

Super Bowl LVI featured the Los Angeles Rams and the Cincinnati Bengals.
