Low-budget MLB teams like the Pirates and Reds would just pocket a Dodgers-sized budget rather than spend it on players

For all the teams that cry poor, I really do wonder if you just could [give them the budget]. Snap your fingers and be like, 'Pirates, you have the budget that the Dodgers have. Reds, you have the budget that the Dodgers have.' I don't think any of those teams would actually spend the way the Dodgers do. They just take a profit. Which is bullshit.

This is a hypothetical about owner behavior and inherently subjective.

The Bears are just going to win the Super Bowl

And I, in that moment [after the Cole Kmet touchdown] was like, I think the Bears are just gonna win the Super Bowl. They're just gonna, they're just gonna pull Miracle After Miracle, because that play was so dead.

The Bears lost to the Rams in overtime shortly after this moment and were eliminated from the playoffs.

The Seahawks will smoke the Rams in the NFC Championship

I also think Rams or Bears are getting smoked by the Seahawks. [Watching them on Saturday night], the thought definitely crossed my mind as like, I don't know how the Bears [or Rams] could potentially do anything against the Seahawks defense in Seattle.

Hank predicted the Seahawks would 'smoke' the Rams in the NFC Championship. The Seahawks did beat the Rams 31-27, but it was a close, competitive game decided in the final seconds — not a smoking. Correct on the winner, wrong on the margin.

Drake May is statistically the worst quarterback in the NFL on 3rd and 6

We've discovered that Drake May is statistically the worst quarterback in the NFL over the past two seasons... on third and six. I think he's 34th or 36th in the league. And he has a 27% completion percentage. League average is about 50.

This is a verifiable statistical claim regarding Drake May's performance on a specific down and distance over a two-season sample.

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.

Jeffrey Simmons makes the Bears Super Bowl contenders

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

The 2026 NFL season and Super Bowl outcome have not yet been resolved from the episode date.
