The Trae Young trade to the Wizards is the ultimate 'NBA trade' because it has nothing to do with winning basketball games

It was the most NBA trade of all time. Oh yeah. Because neither team is doing this trade to win a title. No, they're not even really doing it to get better at basketball. They're just shuffling guys. They're like, here you take this guy because your spreadsheet could use a guy with that number next to it... nothing happens the whole time.

This is a subjective assessment of the front office's intent, though the Wizards' performance post-trade could support it.

Miami would win the National Championship if they simply ran the ball every single play

I think that Miami could win this game if they ran the ball every single play. Their offensive line was dominant. And even when a guy would get wrapped up for a two yard gain, then you get the five huge big giant dogs on their offensive line pushing them downhill like an avalanche. You end up with a five, six yard gain on it.

While Miami did win the semi-final, they have not played the championship game yet. The effectiveness of running every play is subjective.

At least one NFL team that loses this weekend will fire their head coach specifically to pursue John Harbaugh

I think that there's gonna be a team that loses in the playoffs that's gonna fire the coach too... thinking, oh, we're definitely gonna get [John] Harbaugh. Maybe two. And then one of those teams won't get Harbaugh.

PFT predicted a team that lost in the playoffs would fire their coach to pursue John Harbaugh. The Ravens missed the playoffs (8-9), fired Harbaugh after 18 seasons, and the Giants hired him. While the Ravens didn't lose 'in' the playoffs (they missed entirely), the spirit of the prediction about Harbaugh being pursued and hired came true.

Mike McDaniel will likely become the Commanders' offensive coordinator because of his relationship with Dan Quinn

The reason why I think [McDaniel] might, he might be a commander. Offensive coordinators. He loves Dan Quinn. ... Dan was like his number one advocate when it came to getting him sober and supporting [him]. ... He's probably odds on favor that it's gonna be the commanders.

Mike McDaniel did not become the Commanders' offensive coordinator. He was hired by the Los Angeles Chargers as their offensive coordinator under Jim Harbaugh, officially announced on January 26, 2026. The Commanders instead promoted David Blough to offensive coordinator.

The Ravens are using Maxx Crosby's failed physical as a convenient excuse to back out of the trade

Either one, [the Ravens] really trust the doctor to believe them on that or two, it's bullshit and it's made up and they're secretly planning a different move and they're using the physical as an excuse to get out of it.

The trade was indeed rescinded, but whether the 'physical failed' was a legitimate medical concern or a front for buyer's remorse remains a matter of speculation.

The Raiders' short statement indicates Mark Davis is furious about the rescinded trade

The statement that the Raiders put out said a lot, which is just like 'they backed out of the trade. We have no further comment.' That to me sounds like a pissed off Mark Davis.

This is an interpretation of tone and cannot be objectively proven true or false.

The NFL's two-day 'legal tampering' window is a dangerous gift for GMs with buyer's remorse

This two day period is so weird because something like this can happen and then nothing that has been reported over the last day actually has to happen. Right. Nothing's final yet.

This accurately describes the mechanics of the legal tampering period.
