The NFL gave Deshaun Watson an 11-game suspension specifically so his return would be against the Texans

So you look at the schedule that game that [Deshaun Watson] would be coming back would be against the Houston Texans. So they have to talk about it all the time throughout the entire game, whole team in Houston, homecoming... just so happens [flex scheduling] starts right on week 11. I don't know if they'd flex this... but they're not gonna take the Dallas Cowboys out.

Deshaun Watson did return in Week 13 against the Texans after his 11-game suspension (plus a bye week). The narrative alignment was exactly as PFT predicted.

Daniel Vogelbach will have a massive moment in late October for the Mets

That team, [Daniel] Vogelbach has just the perfect doing something huge in late October moment. Oh yeah, he's written for it... He is a hero in waiting. Like everyone knows that, buy stock in Vogelbach right now. He will have a big moment. And everyone who hasn't been watching baseball be like, who's this fat guy? This is incredible.

The Mets were eliminated in the Wild Card round by the Padres. Vogelbach went 0-for-7 in the series and did not have a 'huge' moment.

The move for NFL preseason betting is to bet against every rookie coach that won their first game

I think the move this weekend is to reverse that and bet against money line every rookie coach that won their first preseason game because they got that win under the belt. Now they're like, you know what? I just wanna evaluate now. Now they're gonna swing back in the other direction.

In Week 2 of the 2022 preseason, rookie coaches who won Week 1 (like Matt Eberflus and Kevin O'Connell) had mixed results, making the 'system' unreliable.

Owning a snake as a pet is a definitive pre-crime sign

Our first pick, we're gonna go with owning a snake as a pet. Anyone who owns snakes, fucking pre-crime city. You're just waiting for the snake to just escape in your house and then kill you in your sleep... If you own a snake, I just assume at some point you will commit a crime. It's part of your DNA.

This is a subjective character judgment for comedy purposes.

Being a youth women's gymnastics coach without a daughter on the team should be an automatic jail sentence

If you're like a youth women's gymnastics coach and you don't have a daughter, you should automatically go to jail a hundred percent. Like without doubt, fucked up you have to be to be a gymnastics coach in general.

Subjective opinion on legal standards/pre-crime indicators.

Joe Burrow has an uncoachable 'it' factor that makes players want to go to war with him

We all knew what was in Joe Burrow from the person that he was, the leader that he was, and the player that he was. He just has that, that 'it' that you can't coach when it comes to football in general... he's that type of dude where you wanna go to war with him any day, any week. The person is the reason why you see the player.

While subjective, Burrow's success in Cincinnati has largely validated this widely held view of his leadership.

Carson Wentz is the statistically best quarterback ever when the temperature is exactly 73 degrees

In exactly 73 degree weather, Carson Wentz is the number one quarterback of all time in yards per attempt. So you gotta have something like you gotta check your weather app on Sundays. If it's 73 degrees outside, start Terry McLaurin on your fantasy team.

This is a real 'Stat-Hole' fact that was circulating at the time, though obviously meaningless in a predictive sense.

Jahan Dotson has advanced ball skills and tactics that most receivers don't learn until they are veterans

He definitely just has a natural ball skill ability. Like he makes some pretty easy catches that look really easy... he has a good feel of playing the receiver position as a rookie and how to catch the ball, how to position itself to use late hands and some of the tactics that you don't really learn until you're a vet.

Dotson had a productive rookie season with 7 touchdowns, validating McLaurin's early praise for his natural ability.
