The Washington Nationals will win the World Series based on the Sports Illustrated cover logic

Actually, what this means is that in what, seven years the Nationals beat World Series champions? Because they predicted the Astros, the rise of the Astros. True. So whenever the first time that they picked the Nats was like eight or nine years from then, that's when they're finally going to win.

The Nationals won the World Series in 2019, exactly one season after this take, making PFT's timing calculation surprisingly close.

Duke is guaranteed to win the 2018 NCAA Tournament

We already know Duke's going to win it all. Yes. That is guaranteed. Yes. It's their year. Yes.

Kentucky will overlook their opponents and fail to reach the Final Four

I think something's going to happen in Kentucky. Yes. It's too easy for them, isn't it? Yes. It's just too set up for Kentucky to win the Elite Eight and go to the Final Four. Are they overlooking their opponents?

Kentucky lost to #9 seed Kansas State in the Sweet 16, so the prediction that 'something would happen' and they would fail to make the Final Four was correct.

I would kill the horse Nyquist to recruit LeBron James to my basketball team

I'm totally serious about killing Nyquist. That's not a threat. That's an actual thing. We're threatening LeBron that he might get more horse heads in his bed if he doesn't sign with the breakers.

This is a hyperbolic comedic statement. While he didn't actually kill the horse, the 'truth' of the take is subjective to the bit.

Duke would have won the National Championship by 50 points if they had reached the final.

I think if Duke plays in the championship game, they win by 50. Easily. That was a wasted opportunity.

This is a hyperbolic counterfactual that cannot be proven, making it subjective.

Michigan is already the favorite to win the National Championship again next season.

Michigan I think is right now the favorites to win next season. Tough to win back to back, but he has to hit the portal. He has to be active... which he already is.

This is a prediction for the next college basketball season.

College basketball is now 'pay to win' and that's unsustainable

It's a pay to win tournament. Like basketball is ruined. Unsustainable. Yeah, that's the new word that I keep hearing.

Subjective opinion about the direction of college sports governance.
