T.J. Otzelberger will be the next head coach at Indiana

If I had to make a prediction right now, I would say T.J. Otzelberger... I think he makes a lot of sense. I think he's done a phenomenal job at Iowa State... He should be the guy that Indiana pursues the most.

Indiana hired Darian DeVries (from West Virginia/Drake) as their head coach, not TJ Otzelberger. Otzelberger remained at Iowa State.

The Rams could have won the Super Bowl last year if a few things had broken differently

I went away from the playoffs being like the Rams were right there. If a couple things break differently, they could have feasibly won the Super Bowl.

The Rams lost to the Eagles in the divisional round; whether they could have won it all is subjective but they were competitive.

Sam Darnold will take less money to play for the Rams next season

I think [Sam Darnold] probably would take a little bit less money to play for, for Los Angeles than another team if it came down to that.

PFT Commenter predicted Sam Darnold would take less money to play for the Rams. Darnold signed a 3-year, $110.5M deal with the Seattle Seahawks, not the Rams. He did not take less money or go to Los Angeles.

Alex Ovechkin will break the NHL goal record this season against the Penguins on April 17th

I think he's gonna do it this year. I think he's gonna do it against the [Penguins] at the end of the season... having him break it right in Sidney Crosby's face would be incredible. It's the last game of the regular season at Pittsburgh.

Ovechkin broke the NHL goal record on April 6, 2025, against the New York Islanders at UBS Arena, not against the Penguins on April 17th as predicted. He scored goal #895 to pass Gretzky's record of 894.

Michigan wins 8 out of 10 against UConn, but Monday night might be one of the two

If Michigan and Connecticut play 10 times, I think Michigan wins the game eight out of the 10 times. The question on Monday night is, is tomorrow one of the two? And I think Hurley's good for one of those. And the other is Michigan has a horrid shooting night.

Michigan won the 2026 National Championship, consistent with Fanta's assessment that Michigan was the superior team.

Billy Donovan is the primary target for the North Carolina head coaching opening

The longer this goes, the more you have to think about Billy Donovan. Because it feels like in Chicago, what direction are the Bulls going in? Nowhere... what would it do to college basketball if you walk into Chapel Hill and now you are playing Jon Scheyer? I am on the Donovan hype train. If you're a Carolina donor, you're just gonna be like, we are a basketball school and we just hired a guy who literally has an NCAA tournament win percentage of 85%.

The outcome depends on who North Carolina eventually hires.

Dusty May will be an NBA head coach within the next 10 years

He's a mastermind. He's got great demeanor for it. He's got a really, really good way about him — his whole philosophy fits the NBA. I do think 10 years from now, Dusty May's gonna be an NBA head coach.

This is a long-range prediction (10 years) that hasn't resolved yet.
