John Fox will be fired as Bears head coach by the end of the year

I think John Fox, I'm going to call it right now, he's going to get fired at the end of the year because Ryan Pace basically has built the team around someone else.

John Fox was indeed fired by the Bears on January 1, 2018, immediately following the conclusion of the 2017 season.

Losing by four goals in the playoffs is better than losing in a heartbreaker

I would rather we lose the game by four goals than lose the game in a heartbreak or an overtime. That's demoralizing. Because now it's like you're a little bit embarrassed. You've got that chip on your shoulder in game three.

Subjective sports logic; it didn't help as the Caps lost the series to the Penguins in 7 games.

The Capitals will be worse next year because they won't be able to keep their current roster together

I'm pretty sure the Capitals, I haven't gone deep into their cap next year, but I'm pretty sure they won't be able to bring everyone back. They won't be able to make a bunch of trades. They're probably not going to be as good. So next year, you probably won't think it's your year.

The Capitals actually won the Stanley Cup the following year (2018), so they were significantly better, not worse.

The city of Edmonton does not actually exist

I don't think the town of Edmonton actually exists. I don't know anyone that's ever been there. I'm a big-time Edmonton truther. The whole city is filled with crisis actors.

The city of Edmonton definitively exists.

Ben Johnson ran the illegal play wrong on purpose

I think Ben Johnson ran it wrong on purpose to put something on tape that then he can run a variation off of it.

This is an interpretation of coaching intent that cannot be definitively verified from the game broadcast.

The Bears are good

I think the Bears are good.

Whether the 2026 Bears are 'good' is ultimately a season-level subjective assessment.

The NFL is testing its way toward Tuesday and Wednesday games

Florio basically was like the NFL is testing out putting teams three times in a row on primetime because we're going to get to a point where they start playing Tuesday and Wednesday games. And I believe it.

This can be evaluated if the NFL introduces regular Tuesday or Wednesday games as described.
