Peyton Manning definitely used insider knowledge to sell his Papa John's franchises

Peyton Manning sold 31, all 31 of his Papa John franchises in the Denver area. Two days before Papa John was no longer the official pizza of the NFL... You are a savvy investor, my friend. Very smart. You read the tea leaves.

The timing was indeed highly suspicious, though Manning has never admitted to insider knowledge.

The Duke Blue Devils will win the national championship

The Duke Blue Devils are going to win the national championship. All right. And this isn't a reverse jinx. I know you're thinking, Big Cat, you hate Duke... No, no, no. They're definitely going to win the national championship. You heard it here first. It's done. They shouldn't even play it.

Duke lost to Kansas in the Elite Eight of the 2018 tournament; Villanova went on to win the championship.

Villanova will lose to Duke in the national championship in overtime

I think that Villanova is going to lose in the national championship to Duke in overtime.

Villanova won the title, and Duke was eliminated in the Elite Eight. They never met in the championship.

Oklahoma is out of the NCAA tournament

Oklahoma, they're out. Out. They're out. I was just thinking that today.

Oklahoma actually made the 2018 NCAA Tournament as a 10-seed despite a late-season collapse.

Michigan was definitively the better team in the National Championship and it never felt like UConn was in danger of winning.

Michigan was the better team. We all saw it. It never felt like [the game] was in danger. Like the only moment that I was like, oh, UConn might have a chance, was when there was like maybe five and a half minutes left and Mullens missed that three to cut it to four.

The episode presents Michigan winning the 2026 National Championship as a fact within the show's timeline.

Michigan was the best team all year — outside of Duke, who would have won the championship by a lot

They were the best team. They were the best team all year outside of Duke. 'Cause that actually was my other big takeaway — Duke just completely, Duke beat this Michigan team a month and a half ago.

Subjective comparison of team quality. Duke did beat Michigan during the regular season in 2025-26.

Danny Hurley is 18-1 against the spread in his last four NCAA tournaments, which is insane

Danny Hurley remains 18 and one in the last four tournaments against the spread. How insane is that? Furman is the only one that they didn't cover. That was the first round this year.

This is a factual claim about Hurley's ATS record over the last four NCAA tournaments. Based on UConn's remarkable tournament run, this is plausible and presented as a known stat. Cannot fully verify exact record but the claim is stated as fact.
