PFT Commenter is done dunking forever - retiring from attempting to dunk

My fire fest. I don't think I'm gonna dunk again. I think I'm gonna have to learn how to play below the rim. So I'm calling it quits on attempting to dunk anymore in my future.

Whether PFT actually never dunks again is inherently unverifiable in the short term.

James Franklin is leaving Penn State to become the head coach at Virginia Tech

James Franklin is using the Penn State private jet to move to Blacksburg... I am so pumped that of course. That's the other reason why a jet would go there... I do think that [James Franklin] is gonna be the next coach... somewhere else next year.

This is a specific coaching search prediction that will be verified during the 2025-2026 offseason.

Helly is going to kill her father in the Severance Season 2 finale

I want death. I want multiple deaths. Oh, I think Helly's gonna kill her dad. No, I mean, she's showed... she tried to kill herself. They think that she's her daughter who's like the whatever of the company, but they don't know Hellie down there.

This prediction would be resolved by watching the Season 2 finale of Severance.

I will break 85 in golf by July

Break 85. That's my goal by... By July.

Will be verified once Hank plays rounds in the spring/summer.

I will shoot an 84 in my first golf round of the year

I'll shoot 80. I guarantee I shoot 84 first round out this year.

Depends on Big Cat's first recorded golf score of the season.

A 2032 asteroid will likely hit the Earth and specifically ruin a Cleveland Browns Super Bowl run

My fire fest of the week is that there's an asteroid heading towards Earth. It's scheduled to hit the planet potentially in 2032. This tells me this has like Brown Super Bowl run written all over it. And the asteroid shows up.

Hot TakeLifeScorchingSarcastic
The probability of an asteroid hitting Earth in 2032 is extremely low (PFT exaggerates the 3% figure for comedy). The Browns part is obviously satirical.

I am officially going to learn how to dunk a basketball

I have a announcement for you guys. Ready for this? I think I'm gonna dunk. I think I'm gonna dunk. I've never dunked, but I think I'm gonna train in dunk.

Dunking at 40 with no prior history of dunking is extremely difficult. We'll have to see if he follows through with the training and a video attempt.

I will start carrying a purse and painting my nails if the Bears start winning

I won't apologize for getting triggered by Caleb Williams. 'Cause then after the show on Wednesday, he went viral again. 'Cause he has a purse. I'm gonna get the same purse and I'm gonna start carrying it around. Listen, my guard is up... If we start winning football games, I'm paint my nails.

The Bears' success and Big Cat's adoption of the accessories are pending outcomes of the 2024 season.

The USMNT should reach the semi-finals in the 2026 World Cup

I think our ceiling is probably the semi-finals at the very best in the next World Cup... Quarterly finals in the World Cup. And we've got a good enough team. The players are good enough to do it.

The USMNT failed to advance past the group stage in the 2024 Copa America, casting significant doubt on a World Cup semi-final ceiling.

I will give it my all and I believe I will be able to dunk

I'm in it. The bet's out there. It's 20, it's 20 k. ... I'm going to give it my all to be able to dunk. I think I'm gonna be able to do it. I know the haters and you guys and everyone in the world doesn't think I'm going to, but I I welcome that. I welcome that. ... The only way that's gonna stop me is injury.

As of current knowledge, Hank has not dunked a basketball on a 10-foot rim.

Caleb Williams is the Ben Simmons of the NFL

I've been thinking about Caleb Williams. There's, there's a player that he reminds me of. Little bit of a diva off the court. Really big into the fashion life, the pop star life. A can't miss prospect. ... Ben Simmons. Ben Simmons was the next LeBron. ... Ben Simmons was a can't miss prospect. ... Both teams missed the [college] playoffs... Think about Ben Simmons.

This will only be resolvable after Caleb Williams' career progresses to see if he 'quits' or underperforms like Simmons.

I'm betting $100,000 total against the Oakland Athletics this season

I think I'm gonna bet a hundred thousand dollars total against either the Athletics or the Chicago White Sox every single game this season... officially decided I'm betting a hundred thousand dollars against the Athletics.

The A's went 69-93. While bad, they covered the run line often enough that a blind 162-game bet might not have been hugely profitable depending on juice. However, as they were terrible, the 'vibe' was correct.

I will be in the best shape of my life when I turn 40

I have the double whammy of our birthday month is coming up and it's our last birthday in our thirties. And I am trying to tell myself that when I turn 40, I have to turn 40 in good shape in the best shape of my life... I'm going to put in a very concerted effort starting on Tuesday.

The outcome depends on his long-term consistency in the gym and diet.

I won't buy a golf bag until I break 130

I'm building myself up like a video game character in golf where I'm not allowing myself to get a golf bag until I break 130. That means that I'm carrying around a full set of clubs whenever I go to golf anywhere... I've literally taken a belt and I've wrapped it around my golf clubs and tightened it to keep them all together.

This is a personal goal/rule PFT set for himself.

I am being scammed by an Airbnb host for $40,000 in pool damages

I'm being investigated for $40,000 worth of damages by Airbnb... the homeowner has contacted me saying that I caused $40,000 worth of [damage to] the pool... They say that I didn't keep the pool at the correct level and that the motor and the pump broke down... I think she's scamming me... I didn't even cause a penny worth of damage.

The outcome of the private Airbnb dispute is not publicly known, but PFT maintains his innocence throughout the show's run.
