ESPN canceling 'Barstool Van Talk' was a bad business decision that alienated a key demographic

My second pick, I will go with ESPN canceling Barstool Van Talk and making an entire demographic of young male adult sports fans hate them forever. Good pick.

This is a subjective business evaluation, though many media analysts agree it was a PR and business stumble for ESPN's youth outreach.

MLB and NBA will both return in July 2020

I have a prediction that we will have baseball and basketball in the month of July.

MLB returned on July 23, 2020, and the NBA bubble games began on July 30, 2020. Prediction was spot on.

Duck Hodges will have a 12-year career as a lucrative backup quarterback

I also think that our friend duck duck Hodges has kind of set a little career path in place for himself where he could be the backup behind Big Ben and then he could sign a lucrative backup quarterback contract elsewhere. He could be like a David Carr type quarterback that just kind of like hangs out for 12 years.

Devlin 'Duck' Hodges played his last NFL game in 2019 and retired from football in 2022 after a stint in the CFL.

Only 'upper echelon' guys can rock obscure hats like fedoras and have it feel normal

There's something about dudes who can rock like cool hats and have it feel normal. It's just it's not an attainable goal for regular dudes. It's just their upper echelon guys.

This is a subjective aesthetic opinion about fashion and social perception.

The Brewers' pressure created their 'lucky' breaks

That's not luck. That's just the Brewers and what they did to you mentally, where it's like you have to be perfect and almost made teams just become a worse version of themselves because of what the Brewers were doing to them.

This is an evaluative baseball argument rather than a claim with one definitive result.

The Bears are building around Jeffrey Simmons correctly

Jeffrey Simmons is an absolute game wrecker. Top three at his position, changes everyone around him. The Bears had a weakness in their defense, especially run defense. They made it a strength.

The assessment of Simmons' impact and positional ranking is partly subjective and will depend on his Chicago performance.

I thought they could win the Super Bowl before Jeffrey Simmons. Now I really do.
