The Cowboys will win the NFC East if they beat the Eagles in Week 14

This is the week that if the Cowboys beat the Eagles, they have basically won the NFC East. And it will be very hard for them to lose it.

The Cowboys did beat the Eagles 29-23 in Week 14 and went on to win the NFC East title.

The Cowboys will find a way to fuck up their season despite their current success

If there's anything I know about the Cowboys, they'll find a way to fuck it all up.

The Cowboys won the division and a playoff game but lost in the Divisional Round to the Rams, continuing their streak of not reaching an NFC Championship Game.

The Texans will reach the Super Bowl if they secure a first-round bye

If they get a bye, I think they'll go to the Super Bowl. I will be officially nervous if they get a bye because the whole time I've been like, you know what? They have to win three games. There's no way they're going to win three playoff games.

The Texans did not get a first-round bye; they were the #3 seed and lost in the Wild Card round to the Colts.

There are 10 NFL teams that would want Joe Flacco to be their starting quarterback next year

There are probably 10 teams that would want Flacco to start for them next year.

Flacco was traded to the Broncos to be their starter, but few other teams were aggressively pursuing him as a clear QB1, making 10 teams an exaggeration.

Joe Flacco will eventually sign with the Washington Redskins and go 8-8 for three years

He might sign with the [Redskins] and just, like, make the commute from Baltimore... and go 8-8 for the next three years.

Flacco never signed with Washington; he went to Denver, then the Jets, and later the Browns.

Aaron Rodgers will play his best game of the season to prove Mike McCarthy was the problem

I feel like Aaron Rodgers is going to try to ball out so he can say Mike McCarthy was the problem. Absolutely. That is exactly what's going to go on. He's going to play the best game of the season.

Rodgers played well in a 34-20 win over the Falcons (103.7 rating, 0 INTs), which was one of his better games that season, though 'best' is subjective.

The Panthers should cut Cam Newton if they lose to the Browns

Panthers, by the way... if you lose this, maybe cut Cam Newton. Cut him. Straight up cut him.

The Panthers did lose to the Browns (26-20), and they did not cut Cam Newton.

Conor McGregor will never fight in boxing again

In boxing, no, unless it's some sad story 30 years from now. But no, not in boxing.

As of 2024, Conor McGregor has not fought in a professional boxing match since the Mayweather fight in 2017.

The UFC is copying the WWE business plan to a T

Vince McMahon is where the UFC, if you watch what WWE has done, the UFC's copying their plan to a tee. So if they make a move, plan on the UFC making the same move.

In 2023, the UFC and WWE merged into a single public company, TKO Group Holdings, essentially becoming the same business entity.

LeBron James is dropping 'I'm washed' hints to pre-excuse not winning a title with the Lakers

LeBron, though, is definitely going to start dropping these hints to pre-excuse not winning another title. He's old. He needs help.

LeBron did continue to lean into the 'Washed King' narrative throughout the 2019 season and beyond, famously using the #WashedKing hashtag after winning the 2020 title.

Zion Williamson blocking shots into the crowd is effectively a turnover

But when you block a shot and the ball goes into the crowd, that's a turnover. You might as well be turning the ball over, Hank. Why doesn't he catch the balls instead of blocking them?

Mathematically, a block out of bounds returns the ball to the offense, so it is less efficient than a block kept in play, though calling it a 'turnover' is literal exaggeration.
