The Dolphins will beat the Ravens outright on Thursday Night Football

I'm telling you right now, the Miami Dolphins are ready to play some football tonight. The Baltimore Ravens are in big trouble. Tua [Tagovailoa] is coming back. He's going to come back tonight. He's going to throw four touchdowns. The Miami Dolphins are going to win outright.

The Dolphins did win outright (22-10), making the core prediction correct, though the stats (4 TDs) were off.

Lamar Jackson is taking the step to elite quarterbacking

[Lamar Jackson] was the first part of his career, the first three seasons of his career, 0-6, went down double digits in the second half. What is he, 4-0 this year? Coming back from down double digits, he can do it all. He is taking the step to, dare I say it, elite quarterbacking.

This is subjective but grounded in 2021 season stats where Lamar had several comeback wins.

Russell Wilson is currently the number one quarterback in the NFL

Lamar [Jackson] is number two... My number one's Russell Wilson.

Wilson was returning from injury and the Seahawks struggled; he was not the consensus #1 in 2021.

Cam Newton is the best college football player of all time

Cam Newton getting cut by the Patriots and then playing this entire season for Auburn would have been electric. Yeah, he's the best college football player of all time. Cam Newton's Auburn team, he was doing it himself... the offense stunk out loud.

Subjective all-time ranking, though Newton's 2010 season is widely considered one of the greatest single seasons.

Cam Newton should move to tight end

I would like to see Cam [Newton] move to tight end. I still think that Cam would be an awesome tight end right now. He's big enough. He's strong enough still. He's fast enough to get the job done as a tight end.

Cam Newton never switched to tight end and remained a quarterback until his retirement from the NFL.

The Rams are dangerously close to super-team status, which never works out

But now the Rams are dangerous. Well, they probably were already there, but they're dangerously close to the super team tag. And that never works out.

The Rams super-team approach actually worked, as they won Super Bowl LVI in Feb 2022.

Magic Johnson doesn't physically write his own tweets

I found out that Magic Johnson does not physically do any of the tweets, which may explain some of it. It's articulated clearly across the room or while he's doing 17 other things as a titan of industry. And then there is a woman whose job is to figure out what he's talking about and make it a tweet.

This has been widely accepted as true by fans and media after this and other similar reports.

Hollywood actors in Marvel movies use a 'Marvel doctor' for HGH

I want to be in [a Marvel movie] just so I can meet their 'doctor feel good'. I want an excuse to have Elvis' bag man come in and hook me up. Because my man, Kumail Nanjiani... I see him in Eternals. And I'm like, 'whatever's going on, I want some of that.'

This is a widely speculated industry secret but cannot be definitively 'proven' as fact without medical records.

If the Chiefs lose this weekend, they are done as contenders

I think if the Chiefs lose, I'm taking the 'Dunn' chain out. I'm thinking about throwing it on the Chiefs... I'm done thinking the Chiefs are just going to flip the switch and become the Chiefs of two years ago.

The Chiefs won this game (41-14 over the Raiders) and eventually made the AFC Championship game.

The Patriots will win the Super Bowl if they beat the Browns convincingly

As I've said the whole season, last week was going to decide how I feel about the rest of the season. They won. I'm now in 'soupy' mode. So if they're going to go to the 'soupy', they've got to win this game [against the Browns] convincingly.

The Patriots did win this game (45-7), but they lost in the Wild Card round to the Bills.

The NFL covered up Aaron Rodgers ignoring COVID protocols for ratings

I'm pretty sure that the NFL, according to their own rules, should have suspended Aaron Rodgers. Should have fined him. And they're covering up the fact that he just ignored all the protocols because he's Aaron Rodgers and the rules don't apply to him. And they're like, 'You know what? We could have Aaron Rodgers sit out for multiple weeks, but I really like ratings.'

While the NFL did fine Rodgers, the claim of a 'cover up' for ratings is a subjective interpretation of league business, though the fine was notably small.

Coach K is currently coaching for his job and legacy

I think that their [Duke's] players are so good that Coach K would be on the hot seat if he didn't win a title with these players. He is coaching for his job. We need to update that as the year goes on because if Coach K does not win a title with this extremely talented team, this would go down as the worst job coaching that he ever did in his entire life.

Hot TakeCBBFireSarcastic
Duke lost in the Final Four to North Carolina; while Coach K didn't 'lose his job' (he retired), many fans consider failing to win with Banchero a missed opportunity.

Jimmy Butler is a top-one player in the NBA

Jimmy Butler is a king, top one player in the NBA. He got fined due to attempting to escalate the situation and also for not snitching.

Hot TakeBasketballHotSarcastic
Butler is a star, but was not the MVP or undisputed #1 player in 2021.
