The Chargers won the Eli Manning-Philip Rivers trade once and for all

Odell Beckham, more like 0-5, Odell Beckham. The Giants remain winless, and the Chargers win the Eli Manning-Philip Rivers trade once and for all.

The trade is generally considered a win-win or slightly favoring the Giants due to their two Super Bowls, but the Chargers had more regular-season success with Rivers.

The Eagles have no possible way to screw up this winning season

Philadelphia's got their blue-collar quarterback and a winning team. There is no possible way they can screw this one up, folks.

The Eagles actually won Super Bowl LII, making this sarcastic 'jinx' prediction literally correct.

The Miami Hurricanes are back big time

My Who's Back of the Week, first of all, is a no-brainer. It's the U. The U's back big time.

Miami went 10-3 and lost the Orange Bowl; they were briefly relevant but haven't sustained it since.

Washington sports teams will win the World Series and Stanley Cup this year

Washington is back. It's the Nats year. It's the Caps year... So they're going to win the World Series. They're going to win the Stanley Cup.

The Capitals won the Stanley Cup in June 2018 and the Nationals won the World Series in 2019. While he said 'this year', the era of D.C. dominance he predicted actually happened.

Coach Ed Orgeron was never on the hot seat at LSU

I'm staying resolute in my support of Coach O. I don't think he was ever on the hot seat. Don't think he's ever going to be on the hot seat.

Orgeron was famously on the hot seat multiple times and was eventually reached a mutual separation with LSU in 2021, despite winning a title.

Andrew Luck is not a Super Bowl winning quarterback because he orders chicken at steakhouses

I asked what Andrew Luck's order was [at St. Elmo's], and they said he usually gets chicken. So that's been my big red flag. My one red flag is he orders chicken at a steakhouse. That's not a Super Bowl-winning quarterback.

Andrew Luck retired early in 2019 without winning a Super Bowl, though the reasoning here remains hilarious rather than scientific.

I will never come out of retirement, no matter the offer

No amount of money will make me move from retirement... Physically nothing is wrong with me. I've been playing football for 20 years. I think it was time for me to give it a break and give it a rest.

Vince Wilfork remained retired.

The early 2000s Miami Hurricanes defense could have beaten NFL teams

I agree. I mean, it was some, we could have beat some NFL teams, absolutely. [Could you have taken the Browns?] Absolutely.

This is an untestable hypothetical, but widely considered impossible due to the sheer size and depth advantage of even the worst NFL teams.

I am still faster than Tom Brady in a foot race

[You once said that you were faster than Tom Brady. Is that still true?] Oh, yeah, of course. [Foot race, no question?] Yes, no question. [Is he that slow, or are you that fast?] No, I'm that fast.

Brady's 40-yard dash time was 5.28; Wilfork's was 5.08. Technically, Wilfork was faster at the combine.

The Jaguars are actually a good football team

By the way, the Jaguars are actually good, which is the most bizarre sentence to say, but they are very, very close. We need actually a meter.

The Jaguars reached the AFC Championship game this season and nearly beat the Patriots.

The Chiefs might be the best team in football

Chiefs might actually be the best team in football. They're fun to watch. I like Andy Reid's offense and how they have Alex Smith is actually throwing touchdown passes.

The Chiefs finished 10-6 and lost in the Wild Card round, while the Eagles/Patriots were arguably better.

JJ Watt might legitimately be forced into retirement by this injury

It's a tibial plateau fracture and as somebody with Google I can now report with confidence that he's fucked... This might be like legit retirement for J.J. Watt. Not Players' Tribune fakery.

Watt returned and played five more seasons (including a First-Team All-Pro season in 2018) before retiring in 2022.

Ben McAdoo taking away practice music is a sign he's about to be fired

That is the last thing you do before you get fired. Take away the team's music. No more fun on this team. The ping-pong table, they take that out of the player's room, and they're like, it's over.

Ben McAdoo was fired by the Giants later that same season in December 2017.

The 0-5 Giants could still end up going 11-5

All their games have been one-score games, so they could be 5-0. They could very well be 5-0... Could they end up going 11-5?

The Giants finished the season 3-13.
