Next year will finally be the year Ryan Tannehill makes the leap

I think next year is the year that Ryan Tannehill is really going to make that leap. Yep. They need to give him a couple more extensions, really show they have faith in him, and then eventually he'll blossom.

Ryan Tannehill never truly made 'the leap' in Miami and was eventually traded to the Titans years later where he had a brief renaissance but was never a top-tier superstar.

The ACC is officially back and the SEC is dead

I think the ACC is back, gentlemen. The ACC is back. The SEC is dead and continues to be dead.

The ACC did have a great year with Clemson winning the National Championship in 2016, but the SEC was far from dead, with Alabama remaining the standard-bearer.

Bobby Petrino will stay at Louisville for the long term because he is a man of faith

Love Petrino. I feel like Petrino's a good guy. He's got the whole faith of the program behind him. He's not going anywhere. Oh, man, after they go undefeated and they beat Houston too, Petrino's sticking around for the long term. He's not going to Texas or LSU next year.

PredictionCFBHotSarcastic
Petrino did stay at Louisville through 2017, but he was fired in 2018 following a 2-8 start and general program collapse. He did not remain 'long term'.

I am confident enough in the Cubs to book flights for the NLCS early

We are booking our flights to go to Chicago for NLCS game one and two. No chance this backfires on you at all. No chance.

The Cubs did indeed make the NLCS and won the World Series in 2016.

My batting average for making Lorne Michaels laugh was around .300

My batting average with Lorne was probably... in baseball we're talking about baseball batting yeah that's batting right baseball yep um i probably would say i was in the 300 area okay yeah yeah i did pretty well he liked a lot of my stuff

This is subjective to Meadows' experience and Lorne Michaels' internal reactions, but Meadows was one of the longest-tenured cast members ever, implying a high success rate.

I can bench my own body weight

What do you bench? I can bench about 170 maybe. Oh, what do you weigh? About 170. Oh, man. Okay. I can bench me.

Personal claim that cannot be verified but is stated earnestly.

LSU will look like a completely different team under Coach O

I think you're actually going to see a lot of stuff, a lot of different stuff from LSU when they take the field Saturday night against Missouri.

LSU beat Missouri 42-7 in Orgeron's first game and looked revitalized, eventually winning a title under him in 2019.

Josh Gordon is being paid by the NFL to pretend weed is ruining his life

Is there a conspiracy that Josh Gordon is being paid by the NFL to pretend weed is ruining his life so they can keep it illegal? ... who else do we know anyone else who's been addicted to weed?

This is a satirical conspiracy theory with no basis in factual reality.

Tim Tebow is a viral marketing stunt hired by Jimmy Kimmel

I think Tim Tebow is just a viral ad. I think he's just a viral person. He's a Kimmel stunt. Yes, Jimmy Kimmel has hired Tim Tebow from the time Tim Tebow was in ninth grade just to do pranks.

Tim Tebow's career was genuine, albeit unconventional; he was not a plant by Jimmy Kimmel.

Bet heavily against Butler because their bulldog mascot tore its ACL

Butler University's bulldog mascot... he tore his ACL. So he's only out for two weeks... so bet against Butler heavily.

The mascot's physical health has zero impact on the basketball team's performance, making this advice intentionally absurd.

A Mike Greenberg solo show would be a four-hour suicide note of unathletic stories

Can you just imagine four hours of Greeny? ... It actually just might be really depressing to have a guy just making fun of how unathletic he is for four hours. You need that Golic balance. ... Now it's just going to be one long suicide note. It's just going to be him being like, I was not good at sports in high school.

Mike Greenberg's solo endeavors (like 'Get Up' and 'Greeny') have been successful for ESPN, though critics often echo PFT's sentiment about his 'nerdy' persona.

If you never get a medical test, you don't officially have the condition

I support Dez Bryant. I think if you don't get the STD test, you don't have an STD. ... It's like saying if you don't go to the doctor for over a decade, you're not obese and you're not in danger of health or heart disease.

Biologically false, as conditions exist regardless of diagnosis, but it is delivered as a comedic lifestyle take.
