The SEC is effectively dead and should relegate Tennessee or Missouri

SEC is pretty much dead. So I think they have to look at getting rid of either Tennessee or Mizzou at this point. If you lose a week one game against an inferior opponent, you should just become a member of whatever conference that they're from.

The SEC was far from dead; LSU (an SEC team) went on to have arguably the greatest season in CFB history and win the National Championship in 2019.

The Tennessee football program is suffering from the Curse of Greg Schiano

24-point favorites. I'll say it. Curse of Greg Schiano. All you crazy Tennessee fans on Twitter. Thank you, Big Cat. Led by someone, I don't know, decided to oust Greg Schiano before he could even get the job and bring back Phil Fulmer.

Tennessee continued to struggle for several years after this, only finding real success under Josh Heupel years later.

Lincoln Riley's offensive gimmicks won't translate to the NFL

All those gimmicks won't play in the NFL. They don't translate. That's how, if you ever want to be a real naysayer online about the genius of Lincoln Riley, just respond to every breakdown of the Oklahoma plays. Be like, if he had to go up against an NFL D lineman, he'd be fucked.

Riley hasn't coached in the NFL yet, but many of his concepts (and his QBs like Kyler Murray and Jalen Hurts) have succeeded in the NFL.

Jonathan Taylor will win the Heisman Trophy

Jonathan Taylor's going to win the Heisman. That's not biased.

Joe Burrow won the Heisman in 2019 in a landslide. Taylor finished 5th.

The Minnesota Vikings are officially cursed for the 2019 season after cutting Kyle Sloter

So he [Kyle Sloter] got cut, and now the Vikings are cursed. They're cursed this year. Kirk Cousins might not win a big game. He won't win a big game. The Vikings, who historically have been clutch in the playoffs, aren't going to win the Super Bowl this year.

The Vikings went 10-6 and actually won a huge playoff game in New Orleans, though they did not win the Super Bowl.

The Miami Dolphins will win 6 or 7 games in 2019 despite the tanking narrative

I think the Dolphins are going to go 6-10, 7-9. I'll take the under on that [Big Cat's 4 wins]. I've tricked myself into thinking Daniel Jones will be a very good NFL quarterback. That one I could see happening. Because the Dolphins winning seven games is the most insane thing I've ever heard.

The Dolphins went 5-11. PFT was slightly optimistic, but they did win more than the 0-16 some predicted.

The Seahawks will win the NFC West

I like the Seahawks out of the West before before Jadaveon Clowney got traded there just because I think the Rams still make the playoffs. But I think it's very hard to come back from losing in the Super Bowl. It's going to take a little time. I think the Seahawks are going to be a tough, tough team.

The San Francisco 49ers won the NFC West in 2019. The Seahawks finished 2nd at 11-5.

Novak Djokovic's shoulder injury at the US Open was real and only worsened as the match progressed

Because it [Djokovic's injury] got worse and worse as he lost the first two sets, idiot. You lose the first two sets, and then it's like, ow, my fucking arm really hurts.

Djokovic withdrew from the 2019 US Open with a left shoulder injury, which he subsequently had treated.

Novak Djokovic is the GOAT of tennis

He [Djokovic] also probably wanted to let Nadal and Federer and Wawrinka can play each other. One of you idiots can win while the GOAT rests up his shoulder.

Djokovic eventually surpassed both Federer and Nadal in Grand Slam titles and weeks at #1, validating this take for many.

LeBron James is an asshole for trying to trademark 'Taco Tuesday'

LeBron's an asshole. Let's just go business hour with LeBron. I do just hate him. He is trademarking Taco Tuesday. Trying. This is the guy who his big inventions, his big ideas, business ideas. Talking in a barbershop. With his friends. Space Jam 2. Remember when he created Plinko?

The USPTO eventually denied LeBron's trademark application for 'Taco Tuesday' in late 2019.

My upcoming diss track will put Drake out of business

Oh, yeah, the diss track is coming. I wrote it on Friday. So, yes, I'm continuing my battle against Drake. I murdered him. He's dead. He's already dead. I haven't even laid it down yet. I almost feel bad putting Drake out of business like this.

Drake remained the most popular rapper in the world. PFT's track (likely 'Back to Back to Back') was a comedy hit but did not affect Drake's career.

Comedy specials should be canceled because they require too much of a social stance

I want to cancel comedy specials. Because I'm sick of people telling me, I haven't seen the Chappelle special, but I know I'm not supposed to like it or I am supposed to. I just want to watch a comedy special and laugh, but now it's become something that I have to have a very strong opinion about.

This is a subjective opinion on the state of media consumption.
