Rory McIlroy would have choked this Masters away if he hadn't won last year

I actually think that if he didn't win last year, this one, he would've probably choked away because he kind of had that huge lead. He had a six-stroke lead going into the weekend. He did not play great on Saturday. Everyone kind of caught up to him. He didn't make any huge, huge mistakes on the back nine because he felt confident.

This is a psychological counter-factual that cannot be proven, but it aligns with Rory's history of major struggles prior to 2025.

Rory McIlroy is ducking this podcast and it is a glaring empty spot on his resume

A lot of people are saying that Rory can't go on the big one. That he's been ducking this and that's gonna be the one glaring empty spot on his resume when everyone looks at it, when it's all said and done.

While Rory has never appeared on PMT, the idea that it is a 'glaring empty spot' on his actual professional resume is humorously subjective.

Scottie Scheffler missed his critical putt on 17 because he knows the course too much and overthinks it

The putt on 17 just didn't turn at the last second. It was like half a ball that he missed by. Sometimes these guys know the course too much and they overthink the course. It's like if you're married to somebody for like 60 years, all you do is fight. You know, you lose sight of what makes that person so great.

A common golf trope about over-reading greens, though impossible to verify.

Max Homa is going to win a major championship

Max's gonna win one. I really believe that he was in it. He's finished tied for 12th or better three straight years at Augusta. He's playing the course well, it's just putting together all four days.

Homa remains a top-tier player who frequently contends in majors in this 2026 timeline.

The Bears could have a top-five offense even if they miss the playoffs

There's a world where the Bears don't make the playoffs, but they're a top-five offense. And our defense is so bad that I can almost—I would be very upset, but I could deal with it.

This resolves when the 2026 regular season ends and Chicago's offensive ranking and playoff status are known.

The Jaguars could win the AFC South

I think the Jaguars are not getting any respect or talked about a lot. I think they're gonna be really good this year. They could win the South. I think Trevor Lawrence is gonna keep going forward.

The Jaguars' season and Trevor Lawrence's 2026 performance will determine the prediction.
