The Timberwolves cannot lose when wearing their throwback uniforms

The wolves wore their throwbacks with the throwback court, which was the minute I turned on the game, I was like, oh, it's fucking on. I don't know. They should wear that every single game. I do not think they could lose in those.

The Timberwolves lost Game 7 of the WCF to the Mavericks while wearing their classic throwbacks, making this literally incorrect.

Spreads do not matter in Game 7 of the Timberwolves-Nuggets series

So the spreads don't matter in this game. Put it that way. It's just pick whatever team you think is gonna win.

The Timberwolves won outright, meaning the spread didn't matter for the winner, but they also covered.

Stephen A. Smith could score five buckets on LeBron James in a one-on-one game to 100

I'm going to say that Stephen A. I think Stephen A. could score five buckets on [LeBron]... Because I think that LeBron would, he'd just, he'd get tired. There's no load management in the game to 100 one-on-one.

The game will never happen, and the literal claim that a 50+ year old non-pro could score 5 times on LeBron James in his physical Prime (or even now) is almost certainly incorrect.

Xander Schauffele's record-breaking start at the PGA Championship will not end well

Schauffele was lights out today. He's in the lead. He shot nine under I think. So now everyone is saying like, this feels like it's the year... I'm gonna go on the record and say I've seen this movie before and it's not gonna end well.

Xander Schauffele went on to win the 2024 PGA Championship, shooting 21-under par, proving PFT's skepticism wrong.

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.
