I wanted the Patriots to win another Super Bowl now because Tom Brady's window is closing

I would say the Patriots just because Brady's window is closing. So the more he can get in before he retires, the better.

Brady did eventually retire several years later, having won one more ring with Tampa Bay after this.

The Anthony Davis trade to the Lakers is basically done because LaVar Ball is talking again

LeVar comes out of the rock he was under, silent for the last six months, now saying he wants Lonzo to go to Phoenix... that just tells me the trade's been done because LeVar knows he no longer has to worry about LeBron paying him his hush money.

Anthony Davis was eventually traded to the Lakers on June 15, 2019, but not by the February trade deadline Big Cat was referencing.

The Bitcoin exchange CEO who reportedly died with the passwords is not actually dead

There's no way he's dead, right? There hasn't been a good fake death in a while... He is living it high with, he's probably fucking whales with John McAfee in wherever the hell they are.

The death of Gerald Cotten was officially confirmed by doctors in India, though skepticism remains in the crypto community.

Duke is definitely going to win the national championship

Duke's definitely the best team... which is terrible because that means Duke is definitely going to win the national championship.

Duke lost in the Elite Eight to Michigan State.

This is finally Virginia's year to win it all

I actually believe in Virginia this time. Honest to God, hand to God... This is their year. No, I don't know if they're going to win. Their offense is better this year than it has been every year.

Virginia won the 2019 National Championship after the UMBC upset the year prior.

No Big Ten team is good enough to win the national championship this year

I don't think the Big Ten has a team good enough to win the national championship if they're here. I really don't.

No Big Ten team won the title in 2019 (Michigan State made the Final Four but lost).

Ethan Happ is the best player in history from 8 feet in and clueless from further out

Eight feet in, he's maybe the best basketball player to ever play the game. And then from eight feet out, he looks like he's never actually touched a basketball.

Happ famously struggled with shooting outside the paint and from the free-throw line throughout his career.

Rick Pitino will get another job but not at a power conference

I think he is going to get a job eventually though... he'll pop up somewhere he's gonna he's gonna go to some tiny ass school and someone's going to write the article, like probably Dickie V, about how Rick Pitino is, you know, he's changing his image.

Pitino eventually took the job at Iona (a mid-major) in 2020 before returning to a major conference (St. John's) later.

The Pac-12 is just soft because the weather is too perfect

The Pac-12 is just soft. Their only hope is to like import kids from the East coast... who wants to go to UCLA and like be in a gym all day, every day and work on your game? No, that's not why you go to UCLA.

While subjective, the Pac-12's performance in basketball continued to decline relative to other major conferences until its eventual dissolution.
