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.

The Las Vegas Raiders announced on September 2, 2026, that Kirk Cousins will be the team's starting quarterback for Week 1 of the 2026 NFL season, not Fernando Mendoza. Mendoza, the No. 1 overall pick, will begin the season as the backup.

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.

The WNBA badly mishandled its Finals scheduling

Instead of doing it in an arena where it's like a 5,000 capacity arena, they could have done it at the regular time. They chose to do 12:30 in the afternoon.

This is a judgment about scheduling strategy and is subjective.

There is real tension between Jalen Brown and the Celtics

I don't think it's Jason Tatum and Jalen Brown really have personal beef. I think it's just, you know, Jalen Brown, Celtics, and that's turning into Jason Tatum in some ways. But I think there's definitely beef between Jalen Brown and the Celtics organization.

The existence and extent of internal tension is not definitively verifiable from the transcript alone.

The Browns cannot make a serious playoff run

Could they make a run to the Super Bowl? No. Yes or no. Yeah. Think of the Browns. The Browns aren't good. We know the Browns aren't good.

The Browns' eventual playoff performance will determine whether they make a serious postseason run.
