Shedeur Sanders will lead the Cleveland Browns to a wild card spot and a playoff appearance

My preemptive Take of the Year. Shedeur Sanders. It's going to lead the Cleveland Browns to a wild card spot and make the playoffs. Maybe an injury. I think we did it with the NFL schedule release. I think after like week four he's not gonna start. Something's gonna happen. Maybe Flacco gets injured or steps in and leads him to glory.

Shedeur Sanders was still in college/draft process and the Browns did not have him lead them to a wild card spot in the 2024/25 period.

The Philadelphia 76ers will make it to the Eastern Conference Finals

I have a new preemptive take. This is a hot take. All right. The Philadelphia 76ers will make it to the Eastern Conference finals. Whoa. Now that is that not crazy? That's, I mean we just, here it is. That Joel and the opposite of chalk.

The 76ers did not reach the ECF in the 2024 or 2025 seasons.

Caleb Williams is entering the best situation for a second-year quarterback in the history of the NFL

I truly believe this by the way. I think that the situation that Caleb Williams is in right now is the best situation in the history of second-year quarterbacks in the entire NFL. Think about it. They shored up the offensive line. They got rid of Matt Eberflus. That's good for six wins right there. They finally have a GM and a coach that are lined up on the same contract. They've got an offensive wizard at head coach who's got a bag that's deeper than the Mariana Trench.

While Williams had a strong support system, his rookie season and the transition to his second year were marred by offensive coaching changes and O-line struggles in reality.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce will get engaged followed by a bad album

My preemptive take of the year is that Taylor Swift and Travis [Kelce] are going to get engaged. And then she's going to put out a terrible album. Because she's happy and she doesn't have any boyfriends to complain about. And then all her fans are going to start to hate her because her music sucks because she's happy with her personal life.

The relationship is ongoing; no engagement or subsequent album release has occurred yet to verify the quality claim.

LeBron James will respond to Skip Bayless and try to 'Time's Up' him

I think this is the year that LeBron responds to Skip. Tries to get him off the air... Skip's gonna start going after Bronny Jr. And then LeBron's gonna be like, 'that's a bridge too far. Time's up.' He's gonna try and time's up Skip.

LeBron has largely continued to ignore Skip Bayless directly, and Skip remained on FS1 until his eventual departure in 2024 (unrelated to LeBron 'canceling' him).

It is time for Bill Belichick to retire because the game has passed him by

It's time for Bill Belichick to retire. Has the game passed him by?... If Mac Jones is not the answer this year... I think we're gonna have the conversation: 'Bill, is it time to go coach lacrosse?'

Belichick did not retire after that season, though the Patriots continued to struggle, eventually leading to his departure in early 2024.
