Blake Bortles is a good fit for the Packers because they need a mobile quarterback

I think that this is a good landing spot for him. I think the Packers see the direction that the league's going in. You need a quarterback that can move. He's got the highest yards per carry of any quarterback in the NFL, I think, in the last five years.

Bortles signed but never actually played a regular-season snap for the Packers, being released shortly after.

Aaron Rodgers will be the quarterback of the Green Bay Packers Week 1

I think Aaron Rodgers is going to be the quarterback of the Green Bay Packers week one. I still do. We have our friend of the program, John Kuhn, acting as an intermediary to the public, saying that he thinks there's a way for them to come together, which essentially means the Green Bay Packers are going to pay Aaron Rodgers a shitload of money.

Aaron Rodgers did return to the Packers and started Week 1 of the 2021 season against the Saints.

The 49ers will finish the season 8-8-1 with their new quarterback

The 49ers, I feel like they're going to be new quarterback, probably 8-8-1 this year.

The 49ers finished the 2021 season 10-7.

LeBron James will hobble into the playoffs then start dropping triple-doubles on everyone

I think LeBron's going to be like Willy Wonka coming to the gate. Like, he's just hobbling, hobbling, hobbling, does a tumble, and now he's just dropping triple-doubles in everyone's face. Like, I think he's going to be fine.

LeBron did return and play well, but the Lakers were eliminated in the first round by the Suns and he did not have his typical dominant run.

This is the Capitals' year to win the Stanley Cup again

I think it's the Caps year again. The Caps year, yeah. The only thing I'm struggling with is I'd like to incorporate Cap into a t-shirt for Caps year.

The Capitals were eliminated in the first round by the Bruins in 5 games. The Lightning won the Cup.

Medina Spirit will almost certainly be disqualified from the Kentucky Derby

If the split sample comes back, the second sample that Baffert is sending out to verify the presence of beta-methasone in the horse's system, if it comes back positive, the horse is going to be disqualified almost certainly from the Kentucky Derby... I feel pretty confident in saying that the horse will probably be disqualified.

In February 2022, Medina Spirit was officially disqualified from the 2021 Kentucky Derby.

The medication in Medina Spirit's system made zero difference in the Kentucky Derby outcome

The amount of beta-methasone that he had in his system absolutely positively in my opinion and according to the opinion of some of the top veterinarians that I've talked to made zero difference whatsoever in the way the horse ran in the derby. It was one one millionth of a gram... There's no way that it had any impact at all on the way he ran.

While scientifically supported by many vets due to the low dosage, it remains technically a violation and the causal effect is debated by regulators.

Jockey changes among elite riders make zero difference in major races

When you're betting and you get into a race like the Kentucky Derby or the Preakness, the jockeys involved are all so good and so competent that the difference between jockey A and jockey B, jockey B and jockey C is negligible... just ignore the rider and focus on the abilities of the horse.

This is a fundamental handicapping philosophy that can't be objectively proven 'right' or 'wrong' but is a professional stance.

Bet on a Sacred Life and Some Like It Hot Brown exacta in the Dinner Party Stakes

Chad Brown has a horse in there named Sacred Life that looks like an absolute standout... I think if you hook him up in an exacta with the number one horse, Some Like It Hot Brown... I like the 5-1 Exacta, Sacred Life and Some Like It Hot Brown in the race before the Preakness.

Sacred Life finished 4th and Some Like It Hot Brown finished 2nd. The exacta did not hit.

I can still throw a football 60 yards

I bet I could hit 60 [yards]. I saw you threw a fastball. You did the first pitch for a Mariners game, and you got, what, 68? Yeah, and I got to 72 the next year. You still got a cannon. My goal was, but it's funny, that sounds so lame.

Verifiable only by a physical test, which was not performed on air.

Real men get three vaccine shots

I was at the doctor. I was getting my third vaccine shot. Oh, nice. Better safe than sorry. Yeah, I'm great. Like I said, I'm triple vaxxed up. Nothing could go wrong. Real men get three.

At the time, two shots were the standard protocol; three shots (boosters) became standard later, but his 'real men' reasoning is comedic.

The public should wear masks for one more week to cover my cold sore

My Fyre Fest is masks off, which is great, but I'm getting a cold sore right now... this is the worst possible time ever... I think that we should do one more week. If we just go masks one more week, I think that'll be perfect timing.

This is a joke based on personal timing; it's not a serious policy proposal.
