Thursday and Friday of the NCAA Tournament are the best two sports days of the year

Tuesday, March 20th, and we are just 24 hours away from the best two days of the year... Thursday, Friday of, of the NCAA Tournament, because it's just all you think about the entire time.

This is a subjective value judgment shared by many sports fans, especially within the context of the show.

Ohio State will beat Villanova in the NIT championship

I just filled out my, my NIT bracket. Shout out NIT stew. I've got Ohio State beating Villanova in the finals.

Seton Hall defeated Indiana State in the 2024 NIT championship. Neither Ohio State nor Villanova reached the final.

Aaron Donald had as close to a perfect career as you could possibly have

Aaron Donald played 10 years in the NFL. He was a pro bowler all 10 years. He won Rookie of the Year. He won three time defensive player of the year and he was an eight time first team all pro selection... Aaron Donalds as close to a perfect career as you could possibly have minus the Super Bowl loss.

The accolades mentioned (10/10 Pro Bowls, 8 All-Pros, 3 DPOYs) are factually correct.

The Patriots Dynasty documentary was a hit piece intended to bury Bill Belichick

It was very clearly pointed and it was meant to make Robert Kraft look like the, the benevolent father who kept it all together... and it made Belichick look like he was like abusive. They, they made him look like he was abusive and negligent.

The tone of the documentary was heavily criticized by former players and media for its anti-Belichick slant, supporting PFT's observation.

Tom Brady had Nick Foles' name edited out of the Patriots documentary out of pettiness

They showed the highlights of the Super Bowl with the Eagles won and on the Philly special, they played an edited version of Al Michael's play call... They edited out the word Foles. What? ... He fucking hates Nick Foles. And he had his name edited out of this Documentary.

The audio was indeed edited in the documentary to remove 'Foles' from the Al Michaels call, though who specifically ordered the edit is speculative.

Boeing whistleblower John Barnett did not commit suicide

There was a whistleblower... John Barnett... His body was found the morning of three nine dead. He was allegedly from suicide even though he told his family, if I die, it's not suicide. He was suicided.

The official coroner's report ruled the death a suicide, but the take reflects the popular 'he was suicided' conspiracy meme.

North Carolina will win the 2024 National Championship

North Carolina. So shout out to the Howard Wagner.

North Carolina lost in the Sweet 16 to Alabama, so they did not win the championship.

North Carolina is the most susceptible 1-seed in the tournament

I have North Carolina. North Carolina I think's the most susceptible one seed. Because they are, they are heavily reliant on Armando [Bacot]... and also he's not, he's just not that good... I think they're the most susceptible one.

UNC lost in the Sweet 16. While Houston also lost in the Sweet 16, UNC's loss was seen by many as confirming their volatility.

Wisconsin is in trouble against James Madison

I've looked through the Wisconsin James Madison game in depth. I think Wisconsin's fucked... I'm being completely honest and unbiased that like, this is a bad matchup.

James Madison defeated Wisconsin 72-61 on March 22, 2024, making this take correct.

Houston will win the 2024 National Championship

I have Houston win at all in my bracket. Houston is my national champion... I think they can score and I just don't, I don't think they're gonna lose to inferior teams. And I don't think there are a lot of teams that are, that are better than Houston.

Houston lost in the Sweet 16 to Duke after Jamal Shead suffered an injury.
