Bill O'Brien and Mike Zimmer will definitely be the ones to mess up the virtual draft technology

Bill O'Brien the head coach and Bill O'Brien the GM would be at the top of my list for that... I don't see them either one of them as being technology guys... Mike Zimmer definitely is going to be up there.

The 2020 NFL Draft went off mostly without a hitch for all teams technology-wise, including the Texans and Vikings.

Jerry Jones will definitely screw up the virtual draft technology by fighting over control with Stephen Jones

Jerry Jones simply trying to like rip the iPad out of Stephen Jones' hands and having fall and and logout is definitely on the table here... Jerry Jones still opens up his web browser it's probably Netscape and it goes to backpage.com.

PredictionFootballMediumSarcastic
The 2020 NFL draft went off remarkably smoothly for almost all teams, including the Cowboys who conducted it from Jerry's yacht without incident.

The Bengals and Marvin Lewis are staying together for the kids

The Bengals and Marvin Lewis are staying together for the kids. And they're in a loveless relationship. That's okay. They don't fight in public. They don't kiss on the lips anymore. That's fine.

Marvin Lewis was actually fired shortly after this episode, on Dec 31, 2018.

Bill Snyder will retire and then un-retire during his five-year contract extension

The best part about that extension is he's going to retire and come back within those five years. Oh, absolutely. Yeah.

Bill Snyder retired for good after the 2018 season and did not return to coaching at Kansas State during that five-year window.

LeBron James' game-winner shouldn't count if he didn't call 'bank' because I'd rather be good than lucky

If you don't call bank in a situation like that, I don't think it should count. [Big Cat:] I'd rather be good than lucky... Skip [Bayless], he knows. [PFT:] It was a bad shot that happened to go in. Which doesn't count the same as a good shot.

In basketball rules, a bank shot counts exactly the same as any other field goal regardless of intent.

Jeff Fisher is the 'Rasputin' of the NFL and is guaranteed a contract extension wherever he goes

You're not giving Jeff Fisher enough credit because Jeff Fisher, he's Rasputin. Once he gets in the building, he knows how to whisper into his boss. You shoot him and he just keeps walking forward. Jeff Fisher is absolutely getting at least one contract extension, no matter where he goes. That's a fact.

Fisher never coached in the NFL again after his 2016 firing from the Rams, so the prediction was incorrect.

If something is more expensive, that means it's better

If something's more expensive, that means it's better, right? Correct. Without a doubt. Like Fyre Fest tickets. That was the best concert of all time.

Hot TakeBusinessMediumSarcastic
The statement is ironic; expensive things are not inherently better, as Fyre Fest proved.

The Golden State Warriors are a worse team with Kevin Durant.

I said that they were going to be worse with [Kevin Durant]. I said that. I was the only one. You called me an idiot. Guess what? The black hole is leaving Oakland, but he's the new black hole.

The Golden State Warriors won the 2017 NBA championship with Kevin Durant, finishing the playoffs with a historic 16-1 record.

Skip Bayless is right that Bill Belichick is only a very good coach, not a great one, because he hasn't won without a quarterback

Kings stay kings. He said, I don't think he's a great coach. I think he's a very good one... Bill Belichick has not won a Super Bowl without a quarterback. Not that good. He's good. He's great. He's very good, but he's not great. Right. Exactly.

Belichick is widely considered the greatest coach ever; PFT is parodying the illogical arguments used to diminish him.

FIFA is a dependable and trustworthy organization

FIFA? Yeah. FIFA is very clear on [shady betting]. They don't like people making money via shady means at all. Exactly. That's an organization that you can depend on.

Given the literal claim, this is incorrect as FIFA has been involved in numerous high-profile corruption scandals.

Jim Harbaugh's story about being hit by a mail truck as a kid is probably fake

Jim Harbaugh was Hit by a mail truck driver When he was 7 years old And he found the mail truck driver Nearly 50 years later In Iowa... This is a fake story. This is a fake story by Jim Harbaugh because this is... you can't come up with a story that's more Jim Harbaugh than this.

Harbaugh and the mail truck driver (Roger Moore) have both corroborated this story in multiple media outlets, including the driver himself giving interviews. While bizarre, it is documented as true.

Bill Belichick will draft Christian McCaffrey next year

It's reached a point where I'm going to go to Vegas and put $100 on Belichick drafting Christian McCaffrey next year. And it's going to be the easiest money that I ever made.

McCaffrey was drafted 8th overall by the Carolina Panthers in 2017; the Patriots did not draft him.

Jeff Fisher's record for most losses in NFL history will never be broken

Jeff Fisher's losingest head coach in NFL history might be the untouchable record. ... Because they fire coaches now instantly. If you lose, you get two years max. ... Once Gus Bradley gets fired, then there's no chance anyone will break Jeff Fisher's record.

Incorrect. Bill Belichick tied the regular season loss record (165) in 2023 and holds the record for most total losses (including playoffs), officially breaking the 'untouchable' status of Fisher's record.

The Rams will announce an extension for Jeff Fisher immediately following their next win

Right now, after the Rams' next win, they're going to announce the extension. He's getting out in front of the story right now, laying a nice mattress down so that nobody's shocked. Next win of the Rams, they're going to use that as the premise to announce an extension.

The extension was announced on December 4th, 2016, following a loss to the Patriots, not a win. Fisher was then fired on December 12th.

Game 7 of the 2016 World Series was the most pressurized event in human history

Jason [Whitlock] was coming for the crown... He said, 'Game seven was the most pressurized event, perhaps, in human history.' So thoughts and prayers to the Civil War. D-Day. Maybe if Theo [Epstein] had been working for the South, we'd all be speaking Cajun right now.

The claim that a baseball game is more pressurized than D-Day or the Civil War is obviously, factually absurd.
