The NFC East might get three teams into the playoffs

I crunched numbers... I went on the ESPN playoff machine for like an hour until I got the equation right. And if Tampa Bay ties the Vikings this week, then the Eagles could also get in... We might get three teams in [the playoffs] Big Cat.

Only the Washington Football Team (7-9) made the playoffs from the NFC East in 2020.

The Washington Football Team and New York Giants are legitimate good teams that could win a playoff game

In all honesty, I think that the NFC East jokes are gone in the fact that whether it be the Washington football team or the New York Giants, both of those teams are good teams that if they get in the playoffs, they could win a game... I'll probably bet on them.

Washington lost their playoff game to Tampa Bay 31-23, and the Giants did not make the playoffs.

The Big Ten must change its rules to ensure Ohio State makes the conference championship and the playoff

The Big Ten, at least some fans of the Big Ten, are so antiquated with reality... Ohio State is playing a different sport and on a different level... You could say, hey, Ohio State going to the college football playoff is good for the perception of the Big Ten. It's $6 million to the conference that gets dispersed evenly. Maybe we should focus on getting our team better instead of trying to drag Ohio State back down.

The Big Ten did eventually change the six-game requirement, allowing Ohio State to play in the championship game and subsequently the CFP.

Coach K will pull Duke from the season if they continue to lose bad games

I would not be surprised at all if after, like, a month and a few more bad losses, Coach K pulled his team from the season... once he gets a little losing streak going, he is definitely liable to be like, listen, we're not going to go through the motions. The most important thing is keeping these kids healthy.

Coach K did not pull the team from the season mid-year, though they eventually ended their season after a COVID positive in the ACC tournament.

Getting benched is the best thing that ever happened to Carson Wentz

I actually think Carson Wentz getting benched was the greatest thing that's ever happened to Carson Wentz. Dude, he's going to get paid to not play football. And he's really bad. So now he doesn't have to be really bad every week. I'm sure he dreaded playing football.

Subjective, though Wentz was eventually traded to the Colts and his career continued to decline, suggesting the benching was the start of the end in Philly.

Baseball was actually my best sport

I always feel like baseball is actually my best sport... if I really had focused on baseball, you know, out of high school, I was going to be a top pick out of high school... I never really got to fully blossom fully in my baseball career... out of high school and stuff that baseball was actually my best sport.

This is a subjective retrospective from the athlete himself. He did play 2 seasons of minor league ball with a .229 average.

Jake Paul is lying about being 6'1" and is actually 5'9"

Jake Paul is lying about his height. He's listed at 6'1", but is really 5'9". And I put a picture of Jake Paul who wore a headdress in his face-off with Nate Robinson to show that he's not actually the same height... He's shorter than KSI, who is listed as 5'9".

Most independent estimates place Jake Paul around 5'10" to 5'11", making Billy's claim plausible but difficult to verify definitively.

I would rock Jake Paul's shit because I have fewer commitments than anyone else

I legitimately have the least amount of commitments out of the whole company at this moment... I also like to work out and have endured a good amount of head trauma, which make me suitable for boxing... I would make him think I was easily beatable, but I would rock his shit.

The fight never happened. Billy did eventually fight in Rough N' Rowdy, but never against Jake Paul.
