A sense of humor is the most important trait for an astronaut

Perhaps the most important insight NASA has gleaned from studying team dynamics in space and on earth is the preciousness of one trait. In particular, a sense of humor... the most important task by far is that of the clown. A person who's funny and also wise enough to understand each member of the group at diffuse tensions.

NASA researchers have indeed published findings suggesting that 'clowns' are vital for long-duration mission success.

The last 12 months in DC sports is a top five all-time bad sports year for a city

Based on the research that I've done, I think that the last 12 months in DC sports has been a top five all time bad sports year for a city, for a sport, for sports town. All four major sports. The Wizards historically bad. The nationals were terrible last year... the commander's backsliding and just disappointing everybody.

While subjective, the performance of the Wizards and Commanders during the 2024-2025 period aligns with this assessment of a historic low for the city.

Luke McCaffrey will make the Pro Bowl next year

I've got that means Luke McCaffrey Pro Bowl next year. Mm. That's what that means.

Luke McCaffrey is an emerging talent, but a Pro Bowl nod in his second season is a high bar.

I hate the NBA Play-in and won't take it seriously until a 9th or 10th seed goes deep

I hate the playing. I hate the playing... it's stupid and I honestly like, until a team in the ninth or 10th spot can go deep in the playoffs, I'm not gonna take it seriously. The ninth or 10th team are never gonna win. Like, they're never gonna go deep. This isn't serious.

The 2023 Miami Heat reached the Finals from the play-in, but Big Cat qualifies his take by dismissing teams that were 'playoff teams anyway'.

The Bills could have three or four Super Bowls without kickers

You can make the argument that the Buffalo Bills would have like three or four Super Bowls if kickers weren't a thing in football. You can make the argument that the Patriots might not have had the start of that dynasty if it wasn't for kickers.

The claim is a counterfactual and cannot be definitively verified.

Jalen Hurts will answer the Titans by beating them as a passer

I actually think Jalen Hurts is good enough as a quarterback that when somebody dares him to do that, he could say, 'Fuck you, I will beat you as a quarterback.' And then stay in the pocket and throw for like 300 yards and three touchdowns.

Hurts' passing production against Tennessee will determine this prediction.

The Jaguars would be the second-best team in football if they win in Denver

If they win this game in Denver, I would put them maybe second in the power rankings behind the Jets.

The Jaguars' win and their resulting standing in PFT's power rankings are the relevant conditions; the ranking itself is subjective.
