The Rams new logo is even worse than when it was first revealed

The Rams logo sucks even worse than I – like, they did the logo reveal a month ago. We all roasted it. I forgot about it... But, man, does that logo suck.

The Rams logo was almost universally panned by fans and media upon release.

The Texans will finish the 2020 season with a 5-11 or 6-10 record

I think that the Texans are going to stink next year and be like 5-11, 6-10.

The 2020 Houston Texans finished 4-12, making PFT's prediction very accurate regarding their 'stink' level, though they slightly underperformed even his low win total.

The NFL's Christmas Day game is a direct shot at the NBA

The NFL is now saying, fuck you, NBA. We're not giving you this day for free. They're fighting back, and they will have an NFL game on Christmas Day.

The NFL has increasingly moved into the Christmas window since this take, including tripleheaders in subsequent years, effectively dominating the ratings over the NBA.

The Arizona Cardinals are being overlooked heading into the 2020 season

DeAndre Hopkins is on the Cardinals, just a reminder. Everyone's forgetting about the Cardinals.

The 2020 Cardinals improved to 8-8 and were in playoff contention until Week 17, justifying some of the hype but ultimately missing the postseason.

Seth Curry's son will grow up to be the greatest basketball player alive

Seth Curry's kid is going to be the greatest basketball player alive... He'll be taking down the Bronnies.

The child is still a toddler/young child, so this cannot be verified for at least 15-20 years.

I will bet on any NFL team that was bad the previous year in Week 1

My week one strategy is just basically bet on the teams that sucked last year.

The strategy had mixed results in Week 1 2020, with teams like Washington and Jacksonville winning outright as big underdogs, but others like the Jets and Browns getting blown out.

Kristin Cavallari is leaking stories to the press to make Jay Cutler look bad

Kristen Cavallari has now had like seven stories in the last week that she's leaked to the press. My quarterback has not said a word... she is going to have a reality show being like living through a divorce or some bullshit.

While Cavallari did continue her reality TV career, Cutler largely remained quiet, making Big Cat's 'Team Jay' stance consistent with how it played out.

I am probably the first No. 1 overall draft pick to still be living in their parents' basement a month after the draft

My dad likes to make the joke that I'm a 23-year-old millionaire living in my parents' basement. Yeah, it's not a joke. It's not a joke at this point.

Given the unprecedented nature of the 2020 pandemic lockdown, this is highly likely to be true for the modern draft era.

The 'Free Fire' play is the secret to a dominant defense in NCAA Football 14

Free fire, the one with the Mike and Will blitzing every single time. The Will comes free in the big gap every single time, and you just play man-to-man... The linebacker on the right side in the B gap comes through every time. I'm telling you. That was my secret.

NCAA 14 players widely recognize 'Free Fire' and mid-blitzes as highly effective against AI and many players.

The best offensive strategy in NCAA Football 14 is running Four Verticals and audibling to stops if the corners play off

Call four verticals every single play, and if the corners are playing off, just change it audible to a stop, and you get completion every single time.

Four Verticals is famously broken in NCAA 14, and his adjustment for off-coverage is a standard high-level tactic.
