Rob Gronkowski will return to the NFL to play in the December and January games

I would say he [Gronkowski] probably will be back because he'll do the thing where he can basically play the important games in December and January and have fun and not have to deal with all the bullshit.

Gronkowski did return, although he sat out the entire 2019 season before joining the Buccaneers in 2020.

The former president of FIFA was arrested because it turns out the awarding of the World Cup to Qatar or Qatar may not have been above board. Oh, you think? No doy.

Opinion Soccer MildSarcastic

Widespread corruption in the Qatar 2022 bid was confirmed by numerous investigations and the US Department of Justice.

Pardon My Take broke the news that the Sixers' first pick would be injured before the draft even happened

I think we reported this news first. We broke this news the day before the NBA draft saying that the Philadelphia 76ers' first pick was going to be injured at some point this season. Credit to us. First reported by [Pardon My Take].

Fact Claim Basketball MediumSarcastic

The 76ers did indeed have a long history of high draft picks getting injured (Embiid, Simmons, Noel), and Markelle Fultz did miss most of his rookie season with a mysterious shoulder injury.

The NCAA will investigate LaMelo Ball for selling shoes

Yes, this is going to pique their [NCAA] interest a little. If you take any dollar out of the NCAA's pockets, they will come down on you. So yes, I think the NCAA will look into this.

LaMelo eventually lost his NCAA eligibility and played overseas before the NBA.

Roger Goodell is ducking Foxborough by choosing to attend the NFC Championship game

Goodell... We predicted it. This was a shocker, actually. I thought Goodell would think better of it and go to Foxborough and get spit on by our boss. But it turns out, I guess, he's Will Panson. He's afraid of some bad people from New England.

Opinion Football Hot

Goodell did indeed go to Atlanta for the NFC game and avoided Foxborough until the 2017 season opener.

LSU does not have a good quarterback and will continue to struggle passing the ball

Turns out LSU doesn't have a good quarterback. Oh, you think? No doy. The 10,000th year that Les Miles has a quarterback that can't throw the ball.

Opinion CFB Mild

LSU struggled at QB until the Joe Burrow era in 2018-2019. Les Miles was fired later in the 2016 season.

If Giancarlo Stanton's home run derby balls were people's heads, he'd be arrested for mass murder

If all those balls that Giancarlo Stanton had been hitting in the home run derby were actually people's heads, he would be arrested for murder. Mass murder. He'd basically be worse than Jeffrey Dahmer.

Fact Claim Baseball MildSarcastic

Literally correct that hitting people's heads with baseball bats at that velocity would be fatal, though obviously a joke.
