The Phillies will regress to a wild card team and lose in the first round

I think Phillies are regressing. They'll still make the playoffs as a wild card team. They'll sneak in and then lose in the first round.

The Philadelphia Phillies finished the 2026 season with an 88-74 record, securing a Wild Card spot. They were subsequently eliminated in the first round of the playoffs, losing the NL Wild Card Series to the Atlanta Braves 2-1.

UNC is one of the true blue blood jobs in college basketball

This is a job that doesn't come open very often. And it is a true blue blood job... It is the logo of a team that's won a ton of national titles and a ton of Final Fours. It is literally one of the blue bloods.

UNC's historical success, tournament wins, and titles objectively categorize them as a blue blood.

Nate Oats would not be a great fit at UNC

I don't think he'd be a great fit there. Would people be talking about Nate Oats as much for this job if he didn't wear those jackets? They feel like Carolina jackets. It feels like he's been accepting people into anticipating him being the next UNC coach for a while.

Oats did not take the UNC job; the outcome of whether he'd have been a 'great fit' is subjective.

I've fallen hard and fast for Ben McCollum - he's a rock star coach

I've fallen hard and fast for Ben McCollum. He just wins everywhere. Ben McCollum always talking about toughness. I've fallen hard. I've read a lot of Ben McCollum this last week after beating Florida. This guy fucking rocks.

Subjective opinion on a coach's quality.

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.
