I am picking UConn, North Carolina, Arizona, Gonzaga, Purdue, Marquette, Houston, Duke, Creighton, and Tennessee to all win the National Championship.

Yukon is going to win the National Championship. Also going to win the national Championship: UNC is gonna win the national Championship. Arizona's gonna win the national Championship. Gonzaga is gonna win it. Purdue is going to win the National Championship... Marquette's going to win... Houston's gonna win... and also Duke.

While UConn did win the literal title mentioned first, the satirical nature of picking every team makes the claim 'correct' in a technical sense but 'satirical' in intent. He correctly named the winner among his ten 'locks'.

NC State is no longer a Cinderella; they are a team of destiny.

The one Cinderella that's still in there is a Cinderella that we can all focus on in NC State. Also not a Cinderella anymore because they just keep winning. They went from Cinderella to just Team of Destiny. Like, there was a moment when NC State in that Oakland game, they win in overtime, and I'm like, why can't they just win it all?

NC State continued their improbable run all the way to the Final Four as an 11-seed, fulfilling the 'destiny' narrative.

The Big East should have had more teams in the NCAA tournament.

Big East also undefeated. Six and oh Big East. Probably should put more teams in from the Big East.

While subjective, the conference's performance (specifically UConn winning the title) supports the argument that the mid-tier Big East teams were better than the mid-tier teams that made it.

There are ten teams in the Sweet 16 that could conceivably win the National Championship.

I look at the bracket right now and I don't know, 10 out of the 16, I could conceivably see winning it all.

The 2024 field was considered particularly strong at the top, and several different seeds made deep runs (including 11-seed NC State and 4-seed Alabama reaching the Final Four alongside 1-seeds UConn and Purdue).

The Falcons are a real, flawed good team

I do think that the Falcons are real. Yeah. I think that they're a good team. They're a flawed good team.

This is a subjective assessment of the Falcons.

The Falcons may have the NFL's best skill-position group

I think that if the Falcons can do that, they have maybe the best set of skill position players in the NFL. If you're able to protect Penix, he's good enough to distribute it and then just let their awesome players do awesome shit.

This is a subjective ranking of NFL skill-position groups.

MLB's proposed check-swing replay would make everything a check swing

Yeah. Parallel with the plate. Yeah. That's what I thought the rule was. And apparently that's just not the rule anymore. If they ever bring this system to Major League Baseball, I get—everything's a check swing.

This is a prediction/opinion about a proposed rule and its practical effect, not a settled fact.
