The Trae Young trade to the Wizards is the ultimate 'NBA trade' because it has nothing to do with winning basketball games

It was the most NBA trade of all time. Oh yeah. Because neither team is doing this trade to win a title. No, they're not even really doing it to get better at basketball. They're just shuffling guys. They're like, here you take this guy because your spreadsheet could use a guy with that number next to it... nothing happens the whole time.

This is a subjective assessment of the front office's intent, though the Wizards' performance post-trade could support it.

Miami would win the National Championship if they simply ran the ball every single play

I think that Miami could win this game if they ran the ball every single play. Their offensive line was dominant. And even when a guy would get wrapped up for a two yard gain, then you get the five huge big giant dogs on their offensive line pushing them downhill like an avalanche. You end up with a five, six yard gain on it.

While Miami did win the semi-final, they have not played the championship game yet. The effectiveness of running every play is subjective.

At least one NFL team that loses this weekend will fire their head coach specifically to pursue John Harbaugh

I think that there's gonna be a team that loses in the playoffs that's gonna fire the coach too... thinking, oh, we're definitely gonna get [John] Harbaugh. Maybe two. And then one of those teams won't get Harbaugh.

PFT predicted a team that lost in the playoffs would fire their coach to pursue John Harbaugh. The Ravens missed the playoffs (8-9), fired Harbaugh after 18 seasons, and the Giants hired him. While the Ravens didn't lose 'in' the playoffs (they missed entirely), the spirit of the prediction about Harbaugh being pursued and hired came true.

Mike McDaniel will likely become the Commanders' offensive coordinator because of his relationship with Dan Quinn

The reason why I think [McDaniel] might, he might be a commander. Offensive coordinators. He loves Dan Quinn. ... Dan was like his number one advocate when it came to getting him sober and supporting [him]. ... He's probably odds on favor that it's gonna be the commanders.

Mike McDaniel did not become the Commanders' offensive coordinator. He was hired by the Los Angeles Chargers as their offensive coordinator under Jim Harbaugh, officially announced on January 26, 2026. The Commanders instead promoted David Blough to offensive coordinator.

The Texans Aren't All the Way Back Yet

I still think that there's an issue for the Texans. I don't think they're all the way back yet, because the defense is still—they're giving up 30 points a game a lot.

This is an evaluative opinion about the Texans' defensive quality rather than a definitively resolvable claim.

The Rams Might Just Be Bad

It feels like there's some bad vibes going on with the Rams. They could just be McVay. Seems like he's not having a good time at all. They might just be bad.

This is a present-tense team evaluation that cannot be judged as a single objective fact.

The Rams Will Still Make the Playoffs

I think they'll make the playoffs. I don't want to take that back. I don't think they'll be fine. I think they'll make the playoffs, and this might be the end of the line for Stafford.

The Rams' 2026 playoff outcome has not been established in the provided context and remains unresolved.
