NFL coaches wearing windbreakers with flags during Salute to Service month is 'stolen valor.'

I like the windbreakers that the coaches are wearing on the sidelines. They have their name and the American flag on it. It's basically a military uniform that they're wearing. So you could consider it to be stolen valor.

This is inherently a satirical opinion, though coaches do wear this gear.

Whenever the Chicago Cubs win the World Series, the Bull Moose Party loses the next election.

Whenever the Cubs win a World Series, the Bull Moose Party loses the next election. Fun fact. So if history is any indication, the BM Party is not going to be happy tomorrow.

The Bull Moose Party has not been a relevant political entity since the early 20th century.

Chicago is the 'Parade King' city with the best fans in the world.

All I know is that we parade cocked everyone else... Chicago Parade Kings, best fans... Chicago one-upped it [Tampa Bay].

The 5.5 million estimate for the Cubs parade was a record for a sports gathering at the time, though such estimates are notoriously imprecise.

Steve Bartman should decide when he returns to the spotlight, not the media.

The media has a weird fascination with getting Steve Bartman back involved with the Cubs now. It's so stupid... Steve Bartman gets to decide if he wants to come back, not the other way around.

This is a subjective moral/ethical stance on media behavior.

Anthony Rizzo gave the World Series ball to Cubs owner Tom Ricketts to suck up for a new contract.

Kind of a nice gesture, but like, dude, you're just giving away $2 million? Weird, right? Well, maybe Anthony Rizzo signed a contract... He's wildly underpaid. So maybe he's doing a little brown-nosing to get the owner to rip up the contract and give him some more money.

While Rizzo was eventually traded in 2021, he did not receive a massive 'rip up the contract' extension immediately following this gesture.

PFT Commenter effectively built a hospital by giving Kyle Rudolph the nickname 'Big Country.'

They printed up a bunch of t-shirts... and they're using the concept to raise money for the Kyle Rudolph's End Zone campaign, an effort to build a state-of-the-heart... space at Masonic Children's Hospital. So Ipso facto, I kind of built a hospital.

The nickname and T-shirts did indeed help raise money for the hospital, but claiming he 'built it' is a comedic stretch.

The Raiders are officially back.

The Raiders. The Raiders are officially back. And it's fun. The Raiders are like Notre Dame or maybe even the Yankees where everything's more fun when they're back.

The Raiders finished 12-4 in 2016, making the playoffs for the first time since 2002. However, they regressed shortly after.

Chip Kelly will leave the San Francisco 49ers for the Oregon head coaching job.

So Chip Kelly rumors are back, and I think he's going to go to Oregon. Then again, he did say he's not interested in it, and as we know, as Nick Saban proved to us... if a coach in the NFL says they're not going to college, that means they're not going to college.

Chip Kelly stayed with the 49ers through the end of the 2016 season and then took a year off before joining UCLA in 2017. He did not return to Oregon in 2016/17.

The Charlotte Hornets will have a 4-1 record by Monday.

Actually, we're probably not going to have this interview until Monday, so what's your record going to be then? Probably 4-1.

The Hornets beat the Nets 99-95 on November 4th, but played the Pacers on Nov 7th. Their record on Monday, Nov 7th was indeed 5-1 after beating the Pacers, exceeding the prediction.

Being ranked outside the top four in the College Football Playoff provides motivation for the Washington Huskies.

I actually think that it's going to provide us some good motivation being outside of the top four. Don't let the kids get complacent. Don't let them start reading all the headlines. Flip the script on them a little bit. Control our own destiny.

Washington finished the season 12-1, won the Pac-12, and made the College Football Playoff as the #4 seed.

Wisconsin will beat Ohio State in the Big Ten Championship Game after Ohio State beats Michigan.

Ohio State is going to beat Michigan, then meet us [Wisconsin] in the Big Ten championship game, and Wisconsin's going to beat Ohio State.

Ohio State beat Michigan, but Wisconsin played Penn State in the Big Ten Championship (and lost). Ohio State made the playoff without playing in the conference title game.

If Jimmy Butler wins NBA MVP, PFT Commenter will get a sex change.

PFT says that Jimmy Butler is not a top 20 player and that if he – he's not going to win MVP, but he has thrown this out there that if Jimmy Butler does somehow win an MVP, PFT is going to get a sex change.

Jimmy Butler has not won an NBA MVP award as of the end of the 2023-24 season.

Spencer Hawes is on pace to record 55 dunks this season.

I actually told Frank before the game I'm on pace for about 55 dunks.

Spencer Hawes had 13 dunks total in the 2016-17 season, significantly missing his 'pace' of 55.
