I could record two points and a rebound in an NBA game

That was the thing on the, on the team plane home one year or one flight, we said, I can get you two points in, in a rebound in NBA game. You could? Yeah, I think I could, but rebound, the rebound would be tough.

Subjective/untestable without a contract, though Watt's athleticism makes it more plausible than the average person.

Chet Holmgren is very good but he looks like he will get eaten alive by real men in the paint

Chet Holmgren... is like the skinniest dude ever. And people get really mad because... your reaction is going to be, I actually would like to see you do, this is like this guy's, this guy's going to be soft when he plays against real men... he is really fucking good... but it's impossible to watch him once and not be like, oh, he's going to get eaten alive.

Holmgren has been an elite defender in the NBA, though his frame remains a talking point; he hasn't been 'eaten alive' in the way predicted.

If Odell Beckham Jr. does not get hurt, the Rams win the Super Bowl by 10 points

I also think if you want to do a, what if I, what if, what if Odell Beckham doesn't get hurt? Did the Rams run by 10? Like they were looking back at that game. They had three drives or it might've been four drives two punts, two touchdowns. But the two touchdowns were very easy. One Soto [Odell] Beckham goes out. They don't, they don't do anything until that last drive.

Subjective 'what if' scenario about an injury in a completed game.

The Bengals are not guaranteed to return to the Super Bowl due to the elite competition in the AFC

I do find it kind of interesting how everybody's like the bangles are gonna be back here for sure... just say that out loud to yourself... given like, whew, who's in the AFC right now. I, if you, if we said bet, you have to bet next decade. The Bengals go to X amount of Superbowls... over one and a half, you'd take the under all that all day. And that's, it's not disrespectful to the bangles... because the chiefs are that good. The bills are looking that good, sir. Herbert, it looks great. Lamar Jackson got forgotten about.

The Bengals have reached the AFC Championship since this take but have not returned to the Super Bowl as of 2024.

I hope to never wear another uniform besides the Pittsburgh Steelers

[Jersey Jerry: Could you ever picture yourself in another uniform?] No. I hope I never have to.

He is still on the Steelers as of 2024. Can only be proven 'incorrect' if he trades or signs elsewhere.

I was fined $10,000 for jokingly saying I checked my phone at halftime

I jokingly said I checked my phone at halftime of the Baltimore game and it NFL took it as a real saying and find me $10,000. Why aren't you allowed [to have a phone]? It's just one of those things where, yeah. I'm not allowed to have my phone on me at all 90 minutes before the game or during halftime.

Watt confirmed the fine happened due to his comments on a previous podcast appearance.

I could last a two-minute shift in the NHL and score a goal by crashing the net

If we threw you out there, could you last a shift in the NHL? It's like two minutes, right? Yeah. I think I got that. I mean, yeah. I mean, for fighting for 30 seconds of this shift... maybe just crash the net, just get in front of them that, yeah. Push the goalie around and see, who's got the goalies back. It's a playoff goal.

While Watt is an elite athlete, the skill gap between an NFL player and an NHL player is massive; this is likely physically impossible but fun to debate.
