The Falcons choked the Super Bowl away to the Patriots

I think the Falcons choked it away pretty hard. I didn't realize how bad the choke was until I saw the Patriots should have lost in four different wins.

The Falcons leading 28-3 in the third quarter and losing is statistically the greatest collapse in NFL history.

Tom Brady will win two more Super Bowls to finish with seven

I think he'll get two [more]. I think he'll win six—actually, I think he'll win seven.

Brady won SB 53 with the Patriots and SB 55 with the Buccaneers, finishing his career with 7 rings.

The Celtics will win the title because Tom Brady texted Isaiah Thomas

He [Brady] went out of his way to text Isaiah Thomas... and say, it's your turn. ... I think when someone like Tom Brady can reach it out to you, that can really [lead to a title].

The Celtics did not win the title; they lost to the Cavaliers in the 2017 Eastern Conference Finals.

The National Anthem for Super Bowl LI will be under two minutes and fifteen seconds

I got the under 2:15 [on the National Anthem]. I did a little research... Lady Antebellum did it [two years ago] and it was only two minutes.

Luke Bryan's anthem in Super Bowl LI clocked in at 2:04, meaning the under hit.

Lacrosse will be a top-tier major sport within 10 to 15 years

Cool throne lacrosse. I might have been in two. I've been a little early. I said there's 30 years. It's looking more like 10 to 15... I mean, it's like the hottest thing. It's like number one thing on SportsCenter.

While lacrosse has grown, it remains a niche professional sport compared to the 'Big 4' in 2024. The 15-year window closes in 2032.

The Patriots are a better team specifically because of Dion Lewis

Actually, the real reason is Dion Lewis. They are 14-0 when [Lewis] plays. [Brady's] a system quarterback, in other words.

The Patriots did have an incredible winning streak when Dion Lewis was active on the roster during this era.
Win

Pete Carroll is a cheater for lying on injury reports

My hot seat is Pete Carroll, coach of the Seattle Cheahawks. Got caught cheating... by lying about his injury report saying Richard Sherman, he had an injury the whole season, and he basically lied on the injury report every single week... his crime was lying and cheating.

The NFL did investigate the Seahawks for failing to disclose Richard Sherman's MCL injury, though it is usually viewed as gamesmanship rather than outright cheating on the level of Deflategate.

Tom Brady should be the NFL MVP despite only playing 12 games

If Tom Brady isn't the MVP, it's just further showing [the system is corrupt]... He still had better stats than him. Tom Brady's stats are still better than the other quarterbacks in contention stats. That's the point.

Matt Ryan won the 2016 NFL MVP. Brady finished second.

Planes should have giant parachutes to prevent crash landings

I was watching the movie Sully... and I was just wondering, why don't planes just build parachutes so if that happens they can just parachute down and not have to worry about crash landing? Like inside the plane so it's like oh shit the engine's failed, pop parachute, safe.

While small private planes (Cirrus) have whole-plane parachutes, the physics of weight, speed, and drag make this unfeasible for commercial airliners like the A320 in Sully.

Donald Trump has nothing to worry about and will serve two full terms as President

So [Trump] met with Kanye today... And Kanye tweeted after he was originally going to run in 2020. He's not going to run until 2024... So Trump is good. Trump has nothing to worry about. Two terms. Eight years. The only thing holding him back from not being president is now over.

Trump served one term (2017-2021) and lost the 2020 election, though he eventually won a second term in 2024. The prediction of 'eight years' consecutively or 'nothing to worry about' for 2020 was incorrect.

I could make a lot of money as a 'Hanksy' street performer playing bad music as performance art

I just want to set up one of those musical sets but play really bad music and just make people think it's an art piece and see how much money I can make. You're doing a live Banksy. You're doing a Hanksy... Just stand there and just do [a didgeridoo] over and over again. I think people move so fast in New York, they would be like, oh, this guy's pretty genius.

Subjective claim about the gullibility of New Yorkers toward performance art.

Great winners don't joke around or get complacent in the 4th quarter

Great winners, when they win, they don't get complacent. They want to win more. They don't joke around playing the fourth quarter. You win one championship, and all of a sudden it's all fun and games, rainbows, and ponies.

Subjective view on professional athlete decorum.

The Red Sox championship window is currently two to three years

Yeah, it's like two or three years. ... Luckily, their third best pitcher [Rick Porcello] just won the Cy Young.

The Red Sox won the World Series in 2018, which was exactly within the two-year window predicted.

Rob Gronkowski might retire at 69 touchdowns just for the joke

Rob Gronkowski might retire just for the joke... No, but it's like a destiny thing. It really is a destiny thing. I don't think he wants to retire, but it's written in the stars.

Gronkowski did not retire on 69 touchdowns; he finished his career with 92 regular-season touchdowns.

Start mixing all hotel bathroom products into a single concoction to use at once

My stardom, also hotel-related, is when you just take all the shampoo, soap, conditioner, and just squeeze them into one concoction... The three mini bottles.

Mixing hygiene products is a personal choice, though questionable in effectiveness.

Brad Stevens is on the hot seat

My hot seat, Brad Stevens. He's 5-5. He's coming into the season, predicted to be number two. He's coaching for his job.

Stevens was never fired by the Celtics; he coached them until 2021 and then was promoted to President of Basketball Operations.

Football is officially back and here to stay.

The whole sport of football. It's been a whole long season. Everyone's shitting on it, saying it's only got so much time, 25 years before it's gone forever. This weekend was a perfect example. It's back, and it's here to stay.

Football remains the most popular sport in America years later.

Butch Jones is on the hot seat at Tennessee

My Hot Seat's Butch Jones. South Carolina took the big L to them. He's had a rough season. They had some national championship hopes. They've lost a lot of games, so I think he's on the hot seat.

Butch Jones survived the 2016 season but was fired during the 2017 season after a poor start.

Twitter announced the death of Vine just to get PR and check its importance

It seems like something that a company that was maybe down... they need a little press. What better way to press than announce a death?... they're like, if enough people object to us closing down Vine, then we'll keep it around.

Vine was officially discontinued by Twitter, and while it lived on as 'Vine Camera' briefly, the platform died.

The Cubs are in trouble in the World Series because they got shut out in Game 1 and Andrew Miller is a beast

I think you guys are in trouble. I thought if you guys could at least hit, get a couple runs, keep the momentum going of your bats, then even if you lost, you'd be in a good spot. But the fact that you got shut out, it's not good... And the Miller thing, I don't agree with, because I think he could throw every day.

The Cubs were in trouble (falling behind 3-1) but eventually won the World Series.

The Brooklyn Nets will win over 20.5 games because they are the type of team that will surprise people

The Chicago Bulls will win under 38.5 games because Dwyane Wade and Rajon Rondo will get injured

Chicago Bulls under. I think they're going to be terrible even with their full healthy team. I think there's a chance Rondo and Dwyane Wade are going to get hurt.

The Bulls won 41 games, going over the 38.5 line.

The Cleveland Cavaliers will win under their projected win total because LeBron James will coast and take weeks off

Cavs under. You know they came out hard at the gates, but once they get like five, ten games in, LeBron just coasts, maybe takes a couple weeks off with a fake injury. They're not going to be too worried until the playoffs start.

The Cavs won 51 games, significantly under their preseason line of 58.5.

Kyle Schwarber used steroids to recover from his ACL injury in six months

Kyle Schwarber... Been doing a little literature research... I was reading an interview with a doctor from April. He said there's very, very, very, very little chance he comes back. He would need a superhuman recovery to make it back for the World Series... Literature research says Kyle Schwarber's on steroids.

Schwarber has never tested positive for PEDs; he simply had an elite medical recovery.

The Chicago Cubs will win the World Series in four or five games

I got to go Cubs. I think it's going to be Cubs too. I think it's going to be four or five games.

The Cubs won the 2016 World Series, but it took the full seven games, not four or five.

Stephen Hawking is the biggest fraud in the world and a government propaganda myth who was replaced by a clone years ago.

You once called Stephen Hawking, quote, the biggest fraud in the world. Yes, correct. I just believe that Stephen Hawking is a myth perpetuated by the government. Stephen Hawking died many years ago, but the government needed to keep up his... His propaganda so they just put a replacement Stephen Hawking in that chair.

There is no evidence that Stephen Hawking was a fraudulent clone or a government myth.

Wi-Fi signals should be stronger on planes because you're closer to space

Wi-Fi come from signals in space, right? Yes. So how come if you're in the plane, shouldn't the signal be stronger in the air? I agree. Yeah, no, that's a good point.

Plane Wi-Fi often relies on ground stations or specific satellite beams that aren't necessarily 'stronger' just because of altitude; proximity to a router and bandwidth distribution are more important.

The creepy clown sightings across the US are fake videos staged for views

I really dove into the clowns. They're all fake. It's all videos of people recording themselves driving. When in your life have you recorded yourself driving? It's them trying to turn around, freaking out like a bear is coming at them, and then the video stops right before the clown comes at the door. Until the clowns take action, I'm woke.

Most 'creepy clown' videos during this period were indeed staged or viral marketing attempts.

Sam Crowder was a real person (an Iowa State student) who actually raised over $1 million for a children's hospital after the sign went viral. It was not a corporate ad.

The Royals' praying mantis should be burned to kill their team's mojo

I'm just saying it'd be a real shame if someone snuck into their dugout and dropped a match in there and watched the, what's it, a terrarium? ... If you're trying to get rid of their mojo... That's a direct correlation.

The mantis died later in 2016, and the Royals failed to make the playoffs that year after winning the World Series in 2015.
