The steroid era saved Major League Baseball and the jobs of the writers who now refuse to honor it

The steroid era literally saved Tom Verducci's job. In the mid-nineties baseball was dead after the players strike... And they brought in replacement players and baseball was dead. And what happens over the course of the next three years? Oh yeah, Mark McGwire starts hitting the moon... Sammy Sosa and McGwire summer saved baseball.

This is a subjective historical interpretation, though the 1998 home run chase is widely credited with bringing fans back after the 1994 strike.

Sean Payton will join Amazon for their NFL coverage

I'm like 90% sure I can predict what's going to happen in the next two years for Sean Payton, Amazon. Amazon... They might put them in a booth with Drew Brees.

Sean Payton joined FOX Sports as a studio analyst for the 2022 season, not Amazon.

Mike McCarthy will be fired as Cowboys head coach exactly one year from today

Mike McCarthy is the lamest of ducks right now because he knows that Sean, this is Sean Payton's job. I'm first reporting it right now. Mike McCarthy has been fired as head coach of the Dallas Cowboys exactly a year from today, minus two weeks.

Mike McCarthy was still the head coach of the Cowboys a year later and remained so through the 2024 season.

Adam Schefter will likely leave ESPN in the near future

Schefter... maybe Schefter thinking, you know, I'm going to be leaving ESPN soon. I can start giving a couple back here... Do you think Schefter lets Rappaport break the news that he leaves ESPN?

Adam Schefter signed a massive multi-year extension with ESPN in March 2022, just months after this prediction.

The ACC tournament belongs in Greensboro and it's not the same anywhere else

I grew up loving the ACC tournament. I don't love it anymore because it's not in Greensboro. The ACC is a North Carolina League. It's a tobacco league. Put it back in Greensboro.

This is a subjective preference about the historical home of a conference tournament.

The Ravens failed Max Crosby's physical intentionally to pivot to Trey Hendrickson

It's almost like they had it ready to go. They pivot to Trey Hendrickson. It feels like they had, by the letter of the law, they had the ability to fail [Crosby] for the physical because he's not ready to play. Technically the Ravens didn't break any rules, they just used it to get someone better that just came available.

This is a satirical bit; Crosby and Hendrickson did not have these transactions in real life.

The NFL will launch a spring game within a matter of years

We're a matter of years away, not decades, from the NFL doing a spring game. I think I might be into that. One spring game, just like college football. It would be kind of sick.

This is a long-term prediction about NFL business strategy.
