A blue jay would easily beat a cardinal in a fight

A blue jay would kick a cardinal's ass in a fight. Even though the Louisville cardinal has teeth, blue jays are, are much bigger. They're super, super aggressive.

Subjective comparison of bird species aggression and size.

Ryan Odom will not be the head coach at VCU next year

This will be his last time at VCU no matter what... I'm reporting this. He will either be going to Villanova or Virginia after this year. He will, this is his last ride with VCU.

Ryan Odom left VCU after the 2025 NCAA Tournament to become the head coach at Virginia, not Villanova or Virginia as Max predicted. He went to Virginia, which was one of the two destinations Max named.

The NCAA selection committee accidentally swapped Memphis and Louisville

Memphis, I am choosing to believe this because it is crazy... people are saying that the committee, they accidentally swapped him. Louisville has a better net RPI, KenPom, T-Rank and higher in the ESPN BPI rankings in every category. But Memphis is the higher seeded team. I choose to believe that too because it makes no sense other than they just accidentally messed it up.

While analytically true that Louisville is better, the committee usually claims seeding is based on their own criteria, and 'clerical error' is speculative.

I'm going to say I was wrong. I do think they actually are dating now. Don't need the P and V, they got married so I'm going to count it. I'm going to put it on the board.

The wedding was a confirmed public event in the transcript context.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are going to be married forever.

I think they're gonna make it. I think they're gonna be married for a very long time. I think they're married forever. They're gonna be married forever.

The couple just got married in this fictional timeline, so the outcome of their marriage lasting 'forever' remains pending.
