Low-budget MLB teams like the Pirates and Reds would just pocket a Dodgers-sized budget rather than spend it on players

For all the teams that cry poor, I really do wonder if you just could [give them the budget]. Snap your fingers and be like, 'Pirates, you have the budget that the Dodgers have. Reds, you have the budget that the Dodgers have.' I don't think any of those teams would actually spend the way the Dodgers do. They just take a profit. Which is bullshit.

This is a hypothetical about owner behavior and inherently subjective.

The Bears are just going to win the Super Bowl

And I, in that moment [after the Cole Kmet touchdown] was like, I think the Bears are just gonna win the Super Bowl. They're just gonna, they're just gonna pull Miracle After Miracle, because that play was so dead.

The Bears lost to the Rams in overtime shortly after this moment and were eliminated from the playoffs.

The Seahawks will smoke the Rams in the NFC Championship

I also think Rams or Bears are getting smoked by the Seahawks. [Watching them on Saturday night], the thought definitely crossed my mind as like, I don't know how the Bears [or Rams] could potentially do anything against the Seahawks defense in Seattle.

Hank predicted the Seahawks would 'smoke' the Rams in the NFC Championship. The Seahawks did beat the Rams 31-27, but it was a close, competitive game decided in the final seconds — not a smoking. Correct on the winner, wrong on the margin.

Drake May is statistically the worst quarterback in the NFL on 3rd and 6

We've discovered that Drake May is statistically the worst quarterback in the NFL over the past two seasons... on third and six. I think he's 34th or 36th in the league. And he has a 27% completion percentage. League average is about 50.

This is a verifiable statistical claim regarding Drake May's performance on a specific down and distance over a two-season sample.

The Ravens are using a physical loophole to back out of the Maxx Crosby trade

I'm calling bullshit on all this. It does feel like something's fishy here. And maybe it's just the Ravens using the loophole of, hey, we can see, we can trade for Maxx Crosby, see how the rest of free agency plays out, knowing that this stupid legal tampering and then official free agency, there's a two day gap and then just figure it out later.

The trade was literally rescinded, but the 'nefarious loophole' theory is a subjective interpretation of front office tactics.

The NFL needs a 'no-backsies' rule for players who post elaborate social media goodbye videos

If you post a 13 minute goodbye video on social media like Maxx Crosby did, that should just be trade final. You can't come back on that... I actually am rooting for Maxx Crosby to be on the Raiders now because that will be so awkward and funny.

This is a humorous rule proposal, not a verifiable prediction.

The Panthers were right to overpay for Jaelan Phillips

The Panthers getting Jaelan Phillips, even though it was a lot of money, I feel like you gotta do it. Cap went up and I feel like you have to do those type of moves, especially when you are a playoff team from last year. Your defense was a problem... I'd be like, oh, Howie's interested? I'll give him more money.

The success of the Panthers' defense with Phillips will determine if the overpay was justified.
