The Mountain West stinks and the conference's teams will lose every game in the NCAA Tournament

The Mountain West stinks. Mountain West loses every game. UAB plus six and a half. ... UAB is a pretty good program. ... I think UAB's pretty good.

The Mountain West went 4-6 in the 2024 tournament, with San Diego State reaching the Sweet 16, though most other teams (Boise State, Colorado State, Nevada, New Mexico) lost early.

The winner of Oakland vs. NC State will be the story of the tournament heading into the Sweet 16

What the winner of that game [Oakland vs. NC State] is going to be the talk of the week leading up to Sweet 16 because it'll be a great story either way.

The winner was NC State, and DJ Burns/the Wolfpack's run became the dominant story of the tournament as they advanced to the Final Four.

Dana Altman is the most underrated coach in America

Dana Altman my most underrated coach in America. I love how he coaches basketball. Dana Altman and the Oregon Ducks... Fun fact, Dana Altman is now 8-0 in first round NCAA tournaments. He is such a good coach and he has them overachieving every single year.

This is subjective, but Altman's consistent success as a double-digit seed supports the claim.

MLB will avoid banning Shohei Ohtani because he is too valuable to the league's revenue

It seems to me like baseball, given how much money they stand to make from Ohtani, really does not want to have to treat Ohtani like they would anyone. Can you imagine if it was a utility player that paid off four and a half million dollars? How fast would that guy be banned for baseball for life?

Ohtani was ultimately cleared of wrongdoing by MLB and federal investigators, while his interpreter was charged. PFT's cynicism about the 'star treatment' remains subjective.

Winning games is better than tanking without a quarterback need

Unless you need a quarterback and there's a quarterback that you're going for in the next draft, it's better to win games for the future of the franchise. It's better to build a winning culture for the guys that will be there for the years to come, rather than going 0-16 and getting the first pick instead of the eighth pick.

Whether winning culture is more valuable than draft position is an evaluative team-building question.

The Eagles' defense gave up before the season ended

They gave up on the season before that game started last night, and they had zero interest of playing football.

This is an interpretation of effort and intent rather than a claim with a definitive objective resolution.

The Brewers will win the World Series in five games

I think Brewers with five.

The number of games in the 2026 World Series will resolve this prediction.
