The MLB will eventually sweep the Shohei Ohtani gambling investigation under the rug

I do think the MLB's just gonna sweep it under the rug. Of course they [will]. It's like, it's almost done. I'm telling you. I think it might be done. They're gonna reinstate Pete Rose and they'll be like under the new rules Shohei did very little wrong.

While not 'swept under the rug' in a conspiratorial sense, Ohtani was legally cleared as a victim, and MLB followed suit, allowing him to continue playing without penalty.

Hubert Davis made a major mistake pulling Armando Bacot for foul trouble against Alabama

Kott was an absolute monster on the boards. And he gets his third foul with like 14 minutes left. Hubert Davis pulls him for four or five minutes... what Kott was doing on the offensive glass, defensive glass, like they could not guard him, pick and roll. It just completely changed the complexion of the game. And I don't know why you don't say, 'Hey look, you're a 10th year senior, you can stay out there and not foul and just do, you know, still be a positive for us.'

North Carolina lost 89-87; many analysts agreed that Bacot's benching during his dominant stretch was a turning point.

Alabama will score 120 points and smoke Clemson in the Elite Eight

I think Alabama's gonna run 'em out of the gym. It was a cute little win that Clemson had. You ran up against a team that couldn't make a three point shot. Alabama's gonna just score 120 points on you.

Alabama beat Clemson 89-82. They won, but didn't reach 120 points or 'run them out of the gym' by a significant margin.

Terrence Shannon Jr. is the only player who can potentially stop UConn

If there's only one person who could possibly stop UConn, it's the way that Terrence Shannon is playing basketball right now. He's out of, it's like insane.

UConn beat Illinois by 25 points and held Terrence Shannon Jr. to just 8 points, proving he was not the answer to stopping them.

LeBron James should fake an injury right now to protect his legacy

The Lakers are done. I would not hold it against LeBron's legacy if he did the fake injury right now. Yeah.

Whether faking an injury protects a legacy is entirely a matter of opinion, though mostly seen as a comedic strategy here.

James Harden plays poorly in the playoffs because he is taking a massive pay cut

I think James Harden just does not give a fuck the playoffs because it's such a massive pay cut that he has to take every single postseason... He is making approximately 30 times less than he would normally make to play basketball based on what he's doing in this series. I think at this point he's like, it's not worth my time. I'm not getting paid enough.

The math about playoff pools is generally correct, but the conclusion that Harden doesn't try for that specific reason is satirical.

The Pistons will beat the Cavaliers in six games

I think it's, I would say six games, pistons and six is what it feels like to me. I do think that the, that they're gonna win a couple games at home. The Cavs will, but the Cavs did go from being like young and really, really fun to just kind of depressing and sad real quick.

As this refers to a future or simulated outcome in 2026, it is currently pending or not applicable to real life results.
