We are actively trying to never be nominated for a Sports Emmy unless it is for the John Cena interview

We are actively trying to never be nominated for everything... if they wanna nominate us and only do it on our John Cena interview, we're in.

This is a statement of intent for the show's awards strategy.

Collecting signatures is objectively weird and has been replaced by the selfie

I don't think that as a society, we talk enough about the fact that collecting signatures is just fucking weird. Yeah. It is. Especially if you have a picture and you're like, 'Hey, can you write your name on the, on this picture that I have of you?'... I do think that the selfies have taken the place of it, which is a hundred percent, way more meaningful.

Subjective opinion on social norms.

Ben Simmons' claim that playing with Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant would be 'scary' meant he was literally scared to play

[Ben Simmons] said, quote, 'It's going to be scary.' So I actually think he was correct about this. He was talking about, he was just expressing his emotions. He was like, 'I'm scared to play. I'm scared to play basketball.'

Hot TakeBasketballHotSarcastic
Simmons literally didn't play for the remainder of that season, so in a satirical sense, Big Cat was 'correct' that he was scared to take the court.

Dan Orlovsky will do a one-on-one sit-down interview with Deshaun Watson to teach him how to 'not be horny'

I think that we are going to get a, one-on-one sit down interview with Dan Orlovsky and Deshaun Watson. And he is going to set him straight on how to not be horny... Dan Orlovsky, according to his rules, it would be like, 'Deshaun, don't ever go to a room by yourself. Don't ever be in the same room as a woman.'

This interview never happened.

LeBron James will respond to Skip Bayless and try to 'Time's Up' him

I think this is the year that LeBron responds to Skip. Tries to get him off the air... Skip's gonna start going after Bronny Jr. And then LeBron's gonna be like, 'that's a bridge too far. Time's up.' He's gonna try and time's up Skip.

LeBron has largely continued to ignore Skip Bayless directly, and Skip remained on FS1 until his eventual departure in 2024 (unrelated to LeBron 'canceling' him).

It is time for Bill Belichick to retire because the game has passed him by

It's time for Bill Belichick to retire. Has the game passed him by?... If Mac Jones is not the answer this year... I think we're gonna have the conversation: 'Bill, is it time to go coach lacrosse?'

Belichick did not retire after that season, though the Patriots continued to struggle, eventually leading to his departure in early 2024.

A team that a PMT member roots for will win a championship in the next year

A team that a PMT member roots for will win a championship. We have so many opportunities.

The Denver Nuggets (PFT is a fan) won the NBA Championship in June 2023.

2023 will be the 'year of normality' and a return to normalcy

I'm gonna say that it's gonna be the year of just normality. A return to normalcy.

2023 was far from 'normal' for PMT, especially for Billy who ended up leaving the regular cast in July 2023.

The LIV Tour could eventually take over everything in our lives, including this podcast

I mean, it's a possibility that live tour could just take over everything that we like. Yeah. In every single branch of our life in this podcast. Yes. Open for business.

Hot TakeGolfHotSarcastic
LIV did not take over the podcast, though it did disrupt golf significantly before the eventual PGA/LIV 'framework agreement'.

Odell Beckham Sr. deserves credit for getting his son a Super Bowl through his viral baker Mayfield video

[Odell Beckham Sr.] released a video on YouTube that said Odell Beckham is always open... It was just a breakdown of all the times that Baker Mayfield didn't throw it to Odell Beckham, Jr... He got his son a Super Bowl. Yes. Yes. He got his son a Super Bowl.

OBJ did win the Super Bowl with the Rams after being released following the video.
