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 Chargers' game against the Raiders is a must-win

The Chargers might have the most must-win game of all time playing the Raiders with the schedule they have. If they don't win this week, it's over.

The Chargers' season outcome and whether the loss effectively ended their season had not been resolved at the time of the episode.

Texas won; Ohio State choked

I'll say Texas win, Ryan Day choke. The play calling, I don't know, maybe they got too conservative. I think they probably did.

This is a retrospective interpretation of the game rather than a purely objective claim; assigning primary blame is subjective.

Oregon is probably out if it loses to USC

The USC game will be massive. If Oregon loses that game, they're probably out.

Oregon's playoff status after the USC game was still unresolved at the time of the episode.
