Ronald Acuna Jr. and Luka Doncic are the faces of baseball and basketball

Ronald Acuna and Luka Doncic, are they both the faces of their respective sports? ... they both have a young crop of superstars. He [Acuna] needs to take over the league.

Both players became perennial All-Stars and major faces of their leagues (Acuna won 2023 MVP, Luka became a multi-time All-NBA first teamer).

MLB and NBA will both return in July 2020

I have a prediction that we will have baseball and basketball in the month of July.

MLB returned on July 23, 2020, and the NBA bubble games began on July 30, 2020. Prediction was spot on.

I will bet on the Waterdogs and the over in every Waterdogs game

I want to be able to bet on the dogs and the over in dogs games. [Paul Rabil] says as long as we don't short our teams, we can wet our beak elsewhere.

PFT and Big Cat frequently discussed betting on their own team once the season started.

Rugby sold out Soldier Field before lacrosse did

Rugby actually sold out Soldier Field before lacrosse did. So just a little check on your predictions.

The Ireland vs. New Zealand rugby match at Soldier Field in November 2016 did indeed sell out, whereas major lacrosse events had not reached that capacity at that venue.

The number one lie in sports is a coach claiming they aren't interviewing for other jobs

Number one [lie] is every time any coach anywhere says they're happy with their job and they're not interviewing. That's number one lie in all sports.

While hyperbolically stated as a 'fact', this is a common trope in sports media where coaches routinely deny interest in jobs they later take (e.g., Nick Saban, Lincoln Riley).
