The coal miner fighter at Rough N Rowdy is the lock of the century

There was this one dude that I looked out into the crowd. He was getting signed up for the fight. He was wearing his coal mining uniform. He had coal dust all over his face. That dude is going to win. Yes. Lock of the century on the coal miner that just comes straight from work.

The outcome of a random undercard fighter at RnR 1 is difficult to verify without specific names, but it's a quintessential PMT trope.

The Patriots will beat the Steelers in Week 15

Everyone's talking about the Patriots-Steelers game. And I'm saying, hmm, the Steelers, like, everyone's healthy. Le'Veon Bell's healthy. They could probably beat the Patriots. Don't overthink it. Patriots are probably going to win.

The Patriots won 27-24 in the infamous 'Jesse James catch' game on December 17, 2017.

Mike Tomlin is not a good coach

I also think there's never been a more marquee matchup in the last decade where teams have met up in big games and the coaching disparity is more stark between Mike Tomlin and Bill Belichick. [Big Cat: Wait, so you're saying that you don't think that Mike Tomlin's a good coach at all?] No, I do not.

Subjective opinion on coaching quality.

Aaron Rodgers will beat the Panthers in his return from injury

Packers-Panthers. Aaron Rodgers back. Everyone's saying, well, he's rusty. I'm not overthinking it. Aaron Rodgers is going to win this game.

The Panthers won 31-24 on Dec 17, 2017. Rodgers threw three interceptions and was eventually placed back on IR.

The Seahawks will beat the Rams at home in December

Rams-Seahawks. Again, don't overthink it because I love the Rams. I love Jared Goff. But the Seahawks don't lose at home in December. No. They do not... Not against the quarterback caliber of Jared Goff.

The Rams blew out the Seahawks 42-7 in Seattle. Big Cat was famously wrong about this.

The Chiefs will beat the Chargers at home

Chargers Chiefs. The hottest team in the league. Chiefs at home. Yes, yes. As much as I love the Chargers. No, because I'm doing the old close your eyes and think about what's most likely going to happen, and it's going to be cold, it's going to be loud... Phillip Rivers is going to be down a score and doing his thing... It's not going to work.

The Chiefs won 30-13 on Dec 16, 2017. Rivers threw three interceptions.

The city of Buffalo gets more snow on Sundays than any other US city

I'm not a meteorologist, but I'm sure that it's going to snow on Sunday up in Buffalo. That city, and I have no facts to back this up, but the city of Buffalo gets more snow on Sundays than any other city in America.

This is a hyperbolic comedic claim. Buffalo is snowy, but 'more on Sundays' is purely observational humor.

I will knock out Tex in the second round

Second round knockout. Woo! Boy. Actually, I'm 100% on board with that... I'm going to knock his ass out. Double sit-em. And my sleeper is the left-handed uppercut. Watch out for that in the second round when I fucking knock Tex's ass out.

Hank defeated Tex via decision, not a second-round knockout.

I am a Hall of Famer because I was the best ever at my position

Of course I do [think I'm a Hall of Famer], man. I always look at the Hall of Fame. I think the Hall of Fame should be judged off the best player at that position. That's it... When you look at the best player at every position that's in the Hall of Fame right now, they're the best player at their position.

Devin Hester was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2024.

I believe ghosts are real

I actually completely believe this. Like, I'm a big ghost guy. I believe ghosts. If you don't believe ghosts, I think you're full of shit. And, I mean, we saw a ghost in Miami.

The existence of ghosts is scientifically unproven.

Russell Wilson is better than Matthew Stafford because Stafford was drafted higher

I actually came up with a couple reasons why I might agree with [Andy Benoit]. Number one, Stafford was drafted first overall. So Russell Wilson was in the third round. This is called the Kevin White law. If you're saying that Russell Wilson is better, then that's a slap in the face to all the people that do mock drafts... Number two, he gets paid more. Matt Stafford gets paid more. So are you saying that capitalism is a flawed system?

Purely satirical reasoning.

LaVar Ball is the living embodiment of my 'future me' theory

He is the living embodiment of future me. Yes. Because he, his, his theory is as long as I never admit anything's wrong, then nothing's wrong. Right. Exactly.

LeBron James will join the Lakers in six months

LeBron and Lonzo had a very secret out-in-the-open meeting... it's either one of two things. One, LeBron just being like, yo, dude, just hang in there because I'll be there in like six months, which I think is probably the case.

LeBron James signed with the Los Angeles Lakers on July 1, 2018, roughly six months after this episode.

I don't think it's boring. I think it's very exciting... but curling is chess on ice.

Tex will beat Hank at Rough N Rowdy

I'm picking Tex. I am... Because I think everybody's on Team Hank. I'm just being a contrarian... I'm going against the house... I haven't thought about it, but I don't see a real knockout.

Hank won the fight, making Pete's contrarian pick incorrect.
