Mike McCarthy will be the next head coach of the Chicago Bears

I've thought long and hard about it. I've made a list of spin zones... The walls are talking. What are the walls saying? Walls are, he's gonna be the Bears head coach. The done deal in this.

Mike McCarthy was NOT hired by the Bears. The Bears hired Ben Johnson. McCarthy went to the Dallas Cowboys but that didn't work out either — the Cowboys hired Brian Schottenheimer instead.

Minnesota is one of the most cursed sports cities in the country

Minnesota fans listening to this right now, you guys deserve credit for being one of the most cursed sports cities out there. The last time they were in a championship round was 1991 with the twins. They've had some really, really, like, they, the problem with the Minnesota sports is they're actually like good, but they're never good enough to win. And they haven't had a title in whatever it's Yeah. 30 years and they have all four major teams.

The Twins' 1991 World Series is indeed the last major championship for the city. While subjective as a 'curse', the factual stats regarding title droughts support the claim.

The Vikings will not commit to Sam Darnold long-term after this season

This might be a long-term positive because you are not gonna give Sam Darnold the long-term contract. You might still franchise tag him just 'cause that gives you flexibility... But in a weird way, this is actually a positive where it's like you're not gonna give, you're not gonna commit to Sam Darnold Long term after how this season ended.

The Vikings did not sign Sam Darnold to a long-term deal. Darnold left in free agency and signed with the Seattle Seahawks for $100.5 million over 3 years.

The Eagles will win 29-10 against the Rams on Sunday

If Saquon Barkley does what the rest of the NFL wants him to do, the Eagles win that game 29 to 10 on Sunday.

The Eagles beat the Rams 28-22 in the Divisional Round, not 29-10 as Max predicted. The score and margin were both off.

Betting the over on Alabama basketball is a cheat code

Alabama by the way is a cheat code if you want to get in on it. It's just betting their overs. They just never stopped missing. This has been like, oh, two weeks now they're over under for the first half was 45 and a half points last night. They scored 69 in the first half.

The 'cheat code' status of a team's over is based on a specific run of games; eventually, Vegas adjusts the lines.

Tua Tagovailoa's market value is non-existent relative to his contract

Everything's on the table for the Dolphins. Tua could be a fullback. What would you... What do you think the Dolphins would say yes to for a trade for Tua? Like a sixth round pick for Tua? A jugs machine? I don't know what the hell would Tua's market be?

The Dolphins' internal view on 'everything being on the table' is a subjective claim about team strategy.
