The Falcons are officially cursed because they passed on signing Blake Bortles

I just cursed the Falcons because they looked at Blake Bortles [and] didn't sign him. I realized after I cursed them that I might've actually freed them. No, it's a double curse.

The Falcons finished the 2021 season with a 7-10 record and missed the playoffs, arguably validating the 'curse' within the context of the bit.

Hard Knocks has taken a nosedive and is no longer essential viewing

hard knocks has taken a nosedive. It was a drone shot, which was cool. The drone shot was very cool. Very cool... but that is what hard knocks [is]. Like we're at a point now that was tonight's mojo moment. It was the mojo moment. We're watching the hard knocks because that's what we want to do. But there's also moments where we're like, why are we doing this?

The show's ratings and cultural relevance have generally declined over the years as teams exert more control over the content.

Hard Knocks should be a two-hour special at the end of training camp instead of a weekly series

I think maybe if you, if you were to take the entire training camp and then distill it into two hours. Yeah, I think that would be good. We'll film a film. Yeah. Just like, guess have it, have it be two hours on HBO. Like the last week of the pre-season after the cuts, that way you get to meet everybody, you get to meet all the kids.

This is a subjective proposal for how to fix a TV show.

Ben DiNucci is at the end of his line with the Cowboys

I'm dreading next week's cuts. Cause I think [Ben] DeNucci is at the end of his line three picks. He's got the arm launch angle thing going on.

Ben DiNucci was indeed waived by the Cowboys during final roster cuts in August 2021 (though he was signed to the practice squad).

The Brewers have the World Series sealed

I think the Brewers have this thing sealed up after an insane Monday night where they were just awesome.

The episode says Tampa Bay extended the series to Game 5, so the prediction was not yet resolved at the time of this transcript; the eventual World Series result is not established in the provided context.

There will be no MLB lockout

They'll figure it out. There's too much at stake. They'll figure it out. It's not 1994 anymore. They'll figure it out.

The transcript is from October 2026 and the provided context does not establish whether MLB games were ultimately missed.

A 24-team College Football Playoff is starting to make sense

I'm starting to grow on it. My problem is, I'm thinking about it in just this year where we actually had parity.

This is a subjective opinion about playoff format and cannot be definitively judged.
