The Edmonton Oilers will win the Stanley Cup

I picked the Edmonton Oilers [to win the cup]. The way the season starts, it's obviously not ideal... I pick the Edmonton Oilers.

The Oilers lost the Stanley Cup Final in 7 games to the Florida Panthers.

The Bears would never trade a second-round pick for Montez Sweat without a long-term deal in place

I assume every trade like this, you assume that there is a deal in place to resign Montez Sweat. So everyone's like, why would you trade a second round pick for a guy who's gonna be a free agent? Obviously if he becomes a free agent, this is the dumbest deal ever. I am assuming that Ryan Polls has already worked it out with his agent and there's a plan in place to sign him long-term.

Montez Sweat signed a four-year, $98 million extension with the Bears on November 4, 2023, just days after the trade.

I am officially all in on the San Francisco 49ers

I would like to officially announce I'm all in on the Niners now. I Trent Williams, chase Young Kyle Shanahan. I said this on, on Monday's show. But if you're a fan of a shitty franchise, the best you can do sometimes is to just root for your guys to win somewhere. So I'm, I'm gonna put a big future on the Niners. They're my team.

The Niners made the Super Bowl but lost, so while they were a good bet, they didn't win the title PFT implies with 'big future'.

Josh McDaniels is a misunderstood genius whose offense only works with Hall of Fame players

I think maybe we're all wrong about Josh McDaniels. Maybe he is an offensive genius, but maybe there's just no players that are good enough to play football at the level that Josh McDaniels expects... his offense only works if it's Tom Brady and Randy Moss running it. And if it's anybody else, then it just looks like the biggest nightmare you've ever seen.

McDaniels was fired on October 31, 2023 (released early Nov 1), proving his 'genius' was a failure.

Connor McDavid is playing the best hockey of his career in this Olympic tournament

I don't know if McDavid's ever been this good... It's incredible. Like I think he gave guys maybe six or seven grade A scoring chances. He had seven shots on his own. Then the Finnish coach today said, yeah, McDavid is the best player in this tournament by a mile.

McDavid's brilliance is widely acknowledged, though 'best ever' is always debatable.

Sidney Crosby's Olympic injury is likely an MCL sprain

He was trying to stabilize on his right leg and it just, it opened up, which to me speaks MCL sprain... I'm hoping it's not too bad and it's just a grade one, maybe two MCL sprain.

Crosby's injury status was a major storyline during the 2026 Olympics.

Team USA has a better defensive corps than Canada, but Canada has significantly better forwards

The D's better overall. I believe their forwards are significantly better than ours... Crosby being out, it's scary. And if he's out, that's a big difference... On D our D's better, their forwards are better.

A widely held scouting assessment of the two 2026 Olympic rosters.
