The Cubs didn't need Bryce Harper because they need professional hitters like Nicholas Castellanos

Bryce Harper would be a very redundant talent to what the Cubs have right now, and the Cubs need professional hitters, not more guys who hit home runs and strikeouts... I wish they had more [Nicholas] Castellanos, not more Harpers.

While Castellanos was great for the Cubs in late 2019, Bryce Harper went on to win an MVP in 2021, and the Cubs offense stagnated and was eventually dismantled.

Nathan Peterman might take Derek Carr's job by the end of the year

Nathan Peterman, I'm going to say it right now, he might take Derek Carr's job by the end of the year... In at least one game, Jon Gruden will just get pissed off at Derek Carr.

Peterman went on IR and Carr started every game he was healthy for.

I was wrong — Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are actually dating

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.
