The New England Patriots are the scrappy underdogs of the 2026 NFL playoffs

I've enjoyed being the, the scrappy underdog that no one believes in... no one's believed in us.

The Patriots were the 2-seed and favored in their games, contradicting the 'underdog' claim.

Indiana winning the National Championship is the greatest story in college football history

The Indiana Hoosiers are national champions of the college football world... it is the craziest story... the greatest story in college football. That is a fact.

Indiana did win the 2026 title in this transcript, and their turnaround from historically bad to champions is objectively one of the greatest statistically.

Fernando Mendoza will be the Las Vegas Raiders starting quarterback next year

Fernando Mendoza got to show that he can take a beating. Yeah. Which he will likely have to do as a Las Vegas Raiders quarterback next year.

This is a prediction for the 2026 NFL season/draft cycle.

Mark Fletcher will be one of the best running backs in college football next year

In the second half, Miami got the ground game going. [Mark] Fletcher is awesome. I've loved watching Fletcher this entire year. He's gonna be back next year. And I think the Hurricanes are gonna have another great team.

Pending the 2026 college football season results.

Roman Anthony is a defensive liability for the Red Sox because everyone is successfully running on him in left field.

Roman Anthony, world baseball classic hero. But he has been, he's become a meme basically. If he can't, he just can't throw anyone out from left field. Everyone's just running on Roman. Shane tried to tell me he was great last year, but he was playing right field. Now he's playing left field... it's just not good.

Whether a player is a 'liability' is subjective, though defensive stats can provide some evidence over time.

AJ Brown will be traded to the New England Patriots

[AJ Brown is] gone no matter what... New England. [In my] unbiased mind, he's still gone.

AJ Brown was not traded to the Patriots in the immediate aftermath of these rumors.

UConn can't win the championship

I hope UConn can get it done. I don't think they can win it all.

UConn was in the 2026 Final Four. Resolution depends on whether UConn won the championship.
