Gino Auriemma is on the hot seat after UConn's second straight Final Four loss

We need to start asking the question if women's college basketball is bad for UConn because they're 0 for 2 in the last two years. Gino [Auriemma] on the hot seat? I think we should put him there.

Gino Auriemma was never actually on the hot seat and continued to coach UConn to multiple Final Fours after this.

Michigan will lose to Villanova by at least 10 points in the National Championship

Michigan had like a five-minute run in the second half of their game against Loyola where they looked really, really, really good. If they can play that way for the entire game, maybe they'll lose by 10.

Villanova beat Michigan 79-62, a 17-point margin, which makes this prediction correct.

San Antonio is the worst city in America for cell phone reception

San Antonio not only has the most chips in any city ever, it also has the worst cell phone reception in any city ever. And we have not been able to tweet or do anything basically on our cell phones the entire weekend.

Likely an exaggeration caused by the high density of people at the Final Four saturating local towers.

I'm betting on Michigan to cover against Villanova because water always finds its level

Or you bet on Michigan like I'm going to because water always finds its level.

Villanova won by 17 (79-62), covering the 6.5 point spread. Water did not find its level for Michigan.

The Brewers have the Dodgers beaten psychologically

I feel like Brewers kind of got 'em where they want him psychologically—two in a row, started the series off, and the Dodgers are panicking now.

This is an interpretation of the teams' mental state, so it is inherently subjective.

The Rams will win at least 11 games

If you're gonna look for a bet right now, take the Rams over 10 and a half wins. They're fine. I'll say they'll be seven and three at or six and four at worst—seven and three most likely—going into the Packers game on Thanksgiving.

The Rams' 2026 regular-season win total will not be resolved until the NFL regular season ends.

Shohei Ohtani's slump started when the Dodgers owner came under investigation

What is going on truly with Shohei? You look at when this cold streak started, and it was August 18th. The Los Angeles Lakers were sold on August 17th, and I believe news of the investigation kind of hit a peak shortly thereafter. I just think it's interesting timing.

There is no established causal link between the ownership investigation and Ohtani's performance; the claim is speculative.
