Giancarlo Stanton's season-ending injury is definitive proof of the Home Run Derby curse

He had the home run derby curse... so we actually predicted this. Not to brag, but we called it. Like a month ago, we said whoever's going to win is going to be out for the rest of the season. So sometimes it's tough to keep track of how right we are all the time.

Stanton won the 2016 HR Derby and was placed on the DL with a groin strain in August, effectively ending his season. While the 'curse' is superstition, the injury did happen exactly as predicted.

Usain Bolt could play in the NFL as a Mike Wallace-type deep threat

I'm just saying we have to have the conversation of whether or not Usain Bolt could play in the NFL... I want to know if Usain Bolt, if you put him in pads, put him in a helmet – Can he take a hit? He wouldn't go across the middle. I already know that about him. He would be like a Mike Wallace type on the outside.

Bolt never played in the NFL, though he expressed interest. At his speed, the comparison is physically logical but technically untested.

LeBron James could be the fastest sprinter in the world if he wanted to

You have to imagine that if LeBron James wanted to, he could be the fastest sprinter in the world.

While LeBron is an elite athlete, the mechanics of world-class sprinting are highly specialized. This is an unfalsifiable but highly debatable claim.

Michael Phelps is the all-time best Olympic champion

But it was a great performance. Michael Phelps, all-time best Olympic champion. I think we can safely say that, right?

Phelps holds the record for most gold medals and total medals by any Olympian, making this the statistical reality.

If Duke loses this year, they will be a dynasty of chokers

If they lose this year, that would without question be the best two year... they'd be a dynasty of chokers. Like back to back all time choking losses in the NCAA tournament. I hope that doesn't happen, PFT. We would've never seen anything close to this before.

This is a conditional opinion based on a future outcome.

I'm picking Purdue or Nebraska to win the national title

I think that Purdue, no one's talking about Purdue. They've been hovering around the top. Every time they, they, they start to be discussed in the media. It feels like they lose their next game. I'm gonna say Purdue, my money's on Purdue or Nebraska this year.

The 2026 NCAA tournament hasn't happened yet.
