The Dodgers intentionally lost to the Giants to avoid facing the Cardinals in the postseason.

Dodgers lost on purpose. They knew what would happen if they met the Cardinals in the playoffs... Dodgers lie down and roll over for the Giants, knocking the Cardinals out of the playoffs.

Fact ClaimBaseballMediumSarcastic
There is no evidence the Dodgers intentionally threw games; the Giants clinched the wildcard on merit.

October is the best month of the sports year.

It's October. Best month of the year. Sports year by far. It's the only month where all four major sports will be in action. You got the MLB playoffs. You have all of rivalry weekends coming up for NCAA football. And NFL is starting to really cook.

The sentiment that October is the best sports month is subjective, though it is factually the only month where MLB, NFL, NBA, and NHL typically all have games.

Washington football is officially back.

Washington [Huskies] might be back. Well, they like to say like, oh yeah, Washington went to that Rose Bowl like 25 years ago.

Washington went 12-2 in 2016, won the Pac-12, and made the College Football Playoff. They were definitely 'back'.

Tennessee is a lucky team that will eventually run out of luck.

Tennessee has been the Les Miles team this year. Les was good for a really long time, but then he would have four or five games that he had no business winning, that he would luck into. And then, like, you get off to a hot start, and then your luck runs out, and when it runs out, it runs out hard. Real hard.

After a 5-0 start with several miracles (App State, Georgia Hail Mary), Tennessee lost 3 straight games and finished a disappointing 9-4.

Duke is the best team in the country and it would be an all-time failure if they don't win the title

This is the best team in the country. It would be an all time epic failure if Duke doesn't win the national title. They are the first time I believe that a team has reached plus 40 in Ken Palm since 1999. Duke... This team has it all.

The 2026 NCAA tournament has not occurred yet as of the episode date.

Duke not winning the national title would be the most consequential sports story of all time

I think it would be the biggest sports story of all time. If Duke did not win the national title this year. All time. I think all time story... Duke not winning at all this year would be the biggest, the most consequential sports story of all time. Not our lifetimes of all time.

The outcome is pending, but the scale of the claim is subjective and satirical.
