Mike Tirico is an embarrassment of riches waiting in the wings for NBC

NBC has an embarrassment of riches with Mike Tirico waiting in the wings... so he can eventually take over the Sunday night job.

Correct. Tirico eventually did take over Sunday Night Football from Al Michaels in 2022.

ABC/Disney/ESPN are trying to trade for Al Michaels to pair him with Peyton Manning

ABC Disney... they're trying to get Al Michaels. NBC doesn't want to give him up but ESPN wants Al Michaels, maybe team up with Sheriff Peyton Manning, put them in the booth together and make TV magic happen.

The trade never happened; Al Michaels eventually left NBC for Amazon in 2022, and Peyton Manning chose the 'Manningcast' format over the traditional booth.

Mr. Portnoy is more valuable in a media trade than Dickie V

I would say. Mr. Portnoy is more valuable than Dickie V at this point... Mr. Portnoy still has like a decade left, at least.

Inherently subjective value comparison between a podcast recurring guest and a Hall of Fame broadcaster.

Eli Manning had dinner with the Chicago Bears to discuss joining the team

Eli Manning was having dinner with the Bears last night. Allegedly Leroy heard that from a source close to the situation... I truly believe that Eli Manning was having dinner with some represented from the Bears last night.

Eli Manning never signed with the Bears and remained retired as a Giant. No verified reports ever confirmed this meeting occurred.

The Detroit Pistons are moving in the right direction despite their Game 7 loss

The progression of the Pistons along the way is like, what were they, two years ago? They won like 16 or 18 games. They were so bad. Last year they had competitive series against The Knicks. Then this year, the natural progression from that is, let's take the regular season super seriously. Let's win all the games that we can get a high seed... I would say the totality of this season, we're still going the right direction in Detroit.

The Pistons did indeed improve from 14 wins in 2023-24 to a high seed in 2026, making the trajectory claim historically accurate within the show's timeline.

I will renounce my American citizenship and become French if the Canadiens win the Stanley Cup

I will renounce American citizenship and become French if the Canadiens win the Stanley Cup this year... I'll probably need somebody to come and hang out with me and... the south of France is nice.

The 2026 Stanley Cup winner is pending. If Montreal wins, we await PFT's French naturalization.

Patrick Reed is the first PAWG in the history of professional golf.

Patrick Reed, let me tell you, I think he might be the first PAWG golfer. He is. He's thick as hell. Like he was filling out. He also wears... the tight pants... he looks like early era Meghan Trainor... He bends over. He's like, ooh.
