Mitch Trubisky is going to come out fired up and perform well this season

I know [Trubisky's] work ethic. I know what he's about to do. So he's going to come out fired up. I'm telling you, you've got a franchise quarterback in Mitch Trubisky.

Trubisky was benched for Nick Foles early in the 2020 season, though he did return to lead them to the playoffs. Calling him a 'franchise quarterback' proved incorrect as the Bears let him walk after the season.

MLB owners should take a financial loss this season to save the sport's long-term future

The owners will be making money forever. If they had any kind of foresight, the idea here would be take a loss this season but save the baseball season and dominate the ratings. This is the Long play: lose some money this year, but keep baseball going... instead they're taking the short-term approach, the dumb approach.

The 2020 MLB season was eventually played (60 games), but the labor dispute significantly damaged the sport's reputation and lead to a lockout in 2022, suggesting the owners indeed prioritized the short-term over goodwill.

A 50-game MLB season will result in an asterisk for whoever wins the World Series

I think we're all resigned to the fact that it's going to be 50 Game season, which will result in an asterisk on whoever wins this world series unless it's the Nationals or the Cubs or the Red Sox.

The season ended up being 60 games. While fans of rival teams often joke about the asterisk for the 2020 Dodgers, it is officially recognized as a full championship.

I want to buy a Wiffle ball league and become the Vince McMahon of Wiffle ball

I want to buy a wiffle ball leak and I watched probably three hours of this Wiffle ball league in Michigan... I want to be the Vince McMahon and Wiffle ball and and bring them all together and make a national Wiffle ball league because you know what? I actually think Wiffle ball could just be the new sport.

While he didn't start a national professional league, Barstool did eventually host several successful Wiffle Ball tournaments/content series.

If Ben Roethlisberger is healthy enough to play, he will always be a beast

I know if he can play, he can go. I've seen it a couple of times and he just continued to play on. Most of the time he plays through it all. He's really a beast.

Roethlisberger returned in 2020 and led the Steelers to an 11-0 start, supporting the idea he was still effective when healthy.

Marquise Pouncey is the ultimate teammate who will ride for his guys regardless of the situation

Not the only thing we know, [Pouncey] is going to ride regardless of the situation. Whatever it is, he's the ultimate teammate.

Pouncey's suspension for defending Mason Rudolph literally proved he would 'ride' for his teammates.
