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.

The overturning of Folarin Balogun's suspension is the smallest piece of justice the United States has ever received from FIFA

The United States has never benefited from FIFA's corruption before, and it feels like we've been left out of that party. If this is our taste of the corruption, and all the corruption is just overturning a suspension that should never have been given in the first place... it's the smallest piece of justice that the United States could ever get from FIFA.

The USMNT did successfully have Balogun's suspension rescinded during the 2026 World Cup.

The sensor chips inside soccer balls are bullshit and not perfectly aligned with the cameras

I'm so deep into this chip in the ball thing, I've become convinced that it's all bullshit. The sensors, yes, they're there and yes, they pick up on stuff, but there's no chance that it is perfectly aligned with the 50 cameras that are running concurrently in the stadium on live TV at any given time.

This is a subjective claim about technical precision, though PFT expresses strong doubt.

Brandon Aiyuk is in a bad space mentally and will not be signing with the Washington Commanders.

The Washington Commanders have released Brandon [Aiyuk] today from the contract that he didn't sign with us and was never going to sign. Things got kind of weird over the weekend. So [Aiyuk] was saying like talking shit about Jayden's mom... I think that should probably put an end to the Brandon [Aiyuk] to the Commanders rumors. But I was never really on board for it, it's been weird for quite some time with Brandon. I hope he gets whatever help he needs. It doesn't seem like he's in a good space mentally. And it seems like even his best oldest friends have tried to help him and he just burns those bridges too.

Subjective opinion on Aiyuk's mental state and burned bridges, plus a prediction about not going to the Commanders.
