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.

France is unstoppable in the 2026 World Cup

When we first got the bracket, I said I was gonna go chalk and just bet on France. They just seem like there's nothing that you can do to stop him. France looks unstoppable.

The 2026 World Cup final is likely still pending or just occurring around the episode date.

The toxicity towards Christian Pulisic proves America is finally a real soccer country

I think with the amount of vitriol that has gone towards Christian Pulisic, we have shown for the first time we might be a real soccer country because that actually, it's nuts how he's gotten bashed by everyone. The fact that it's gotten so toxic towards this one guy, it's like, oh shit. Maybe we could become a country that people cared that much about it.

This is a subjective cultural take on fandom.
