Takes
PFT CommenterT.Y. Hilton's son will date Riley Curry in 15 years
Also, I just want to make a prediction. Within, I'm going to say 10 to 15 years, T.Y. Hilton's kid is going to be dating Riley Curry. I just want to put that out there. I think that's the next sports power couple.
Big CatMitchell Trubisky will be good for the Bears
I'm going to spin zone it real quick. I think [Mitchell Trubisky] is going to be good, okay? And he gets to learn behind Mike Glennon and Mark Sanchez... He actually had, I read this stat because I was digging deep trying to sell myself on this. I have 66% completion rate under pressure. Highest of any quarterback drafted in the first round.
Donovan McNabbDeshaun Watson is the best quarterback in the 2017 draft class
I like Deshaun Watson. I think Deshaun Watson has proven he can play in big games... I think Deshaun Watson is probably number one.
PFT CommenterCoach Orgeron will have a five to ten year reign of dominance at LSU
I think that this performance by LSU's draft picks, that's going to push Coach O's recruiting over the top. I'm going to predict a five to ten year reign of dominance for Coach O by [Leonard] Fournette and Jamal Adams.
PFT CommenterThe Capitals are fine and will beat the Penguins
I'm not pressing the panic button on the Caps. The Caps dominated that game. The only stat that didn't go in their favor is the score... I'm throwing the panic button out the window. I'm not going to press it... I'm not worried at all. No, if you watch the game, it was dominance by the Caps.
Big CatThe Jaguars will win the 2017 NFL Draft with an A+ grade
The Jaguars won the draft. So I just want to call that right now. My post-draft grades, I don't know how 31 teams do. I know the Jags got an A+. This is the year that they're going to put it all together. They had a great draft.
PFT CommenterThe Bengals will draft a player with character issues in the 2017 NFL Draft
One is the Bengals are going to draft a guy with character issues. Even if the guy doesn't have character issues... We'll find a way to find a character. Oh, he used a blue pen in one of his blue book tests as a senior in college.
Ian RapoportThe Browns will draft Myles Garrett with the number one overall pick
They're going to screw it up. I don't know. They can't. I mean, it's going to be Myles Garrett.
Ian RapoportMitchell Trubisky will be the first quarterback taken in the 2017 NFL Draft
I would be very surprised if it's not Trubisky [going first among QBs]. That's what it seems like.
Ian RapoportMitchell Trubisky has a chance to start Week 1 for the team that drafts him
I mean, if you think about the rookies who will get picked this year, only, like, let's say the Browns take Trubisky. I think there's a chance he's their starter to open the season.
Ian RapoportDavis Webb could potentially be a first-round pick
Davis Webb. Potentially going in the first round. Some teams really, really like him. Character-wise, he's great. It's interesting. When they study the tape, they say Cal's offense looked better for him than it did for Jared Goff last year.
Ian RapoportTony Romo is finished playing football and will not return
Tony Romo really retired? All your sources... No chance. I would be stunned. But I was hearing he was going to retire in, like, November. He doesn't look like someone who's ready to jump back on the field.
Logan CoutureThe Capitals have a great chance to win the Eastern Conference this year
Logan, is it the Caps year? You know what? They've got a great team. We don't really get to see the East as often, obviously. But if there's any team that can do it, I'd say I think so.
PFT CommenterThe New York Jets will lock up the number one pick of the 2018 NFL Draft
The New York Jets and Bryce Tom Petty are free-falling down the standings as New York locks up the number one pick of the 2018 NFL Draft.
PFT CommenterThe Buffalo Bills will finish the season 5-11
I'm going to give it to you real easy. Bills are going to go 5-11.
PFT CommenterThe Capitals will sweep the Penguins in the next round of the playoffs
I've taken my fingers so far off the panic button. I've got ones in the air right now. I've got my finger in the air calling it. We're going to sweep the Penguins. Next round. I'm not even concerned with Maple Leafs anymore.
Paul BissonnetteThe Nashville Predators are my pick to come out of the Western Conference
I mean, I like St. Louis, too, but I think Nashville just looks too good right now. That's who I would pick.
Big CatThe Capitals will still win their series against the Maple Leafs
I still think the Capitals are going to win the series. I do. I really do. ... I watched the Capitals versus the Leafs and I was like, the Capitals are the better team. They turtled at the end there. They look like the better team.
Big CatThe Blackhawks will not come back against the Predators
The Blackhawks are the worst team by far in that series. The Predators have taken it to them every single period. Nine out of ten periods, they've just dominated them. So that's one of those ones like, Blackhawks aren't going to come back. They're not.
PFT CommenterI am not worried about the Capitals losing home-ice advantage to the Maple Leafs
I'm not worried at all. It's not time to press the panic button. My overtime genes are still 1-0 in single overtime. I'd just like to point that out.
PFT CommenterThe Wizards are going to win their series against the Hawks easily
John Wall is really good at basketball... He's very good. The Wizards are going to win easily.
Nate SilverRussell Westbrook is the obvious choice for NBA MVP
To me, Westbrook is the kind of obvious answer, I guess. And Harden is the second most obvious answer... Leonard seems like it's overthinking it a little bit.
Big CatThe Bulls will give the Celtics a good series in the first round
I think the Bulls are going to give the Celtics a really good series.
Big CatThe Raiders' Black Hole in Las Vegas will be corporate and terrible
Talking about the black hole in Las Vegas just bummed me out because you know it's going to be all corporate. It's going to be the Harrah's blackjack black hole or something like that, and it's going to suck. This is the first time I've thought about the Raiders moving to Vegas and being like, eh.
Big CatAJ McCarron's sushi restaurant will be a huge hit in Tuscaloosa
AJ McCarron's getting into the game... He's opening a sushi restaurant in Tuscaloosa, Alabama... It's called Agent Sushi... I'm sure it will be a big hit in Tuscaloosa. It seems like a big sushi crowd.
Ernie JohnsonOnly the Spurs, Warriors, or Cavaliers can win the NBA title this year
Can you give us a team, not named the Spurs, Warriors, or Cavs, that can win the NBA title this year? [Ernie]: No.
Ernie JohnsonIf forced to pick a sleeper team, the Wizards are the only other team with a chance
If I have to name one [other team to win], Wizards.
PFT CommenterSergio Garcia will repeat as Masters champion next year
I'm going to plant my flag in the ground right now and call it. I actually think Sergio is going to repeat next year. Okay, I think he's going back to back Masters.
Big CatThis is the year the Washington Capitals finally win the Stanley Cup
Caps year. Caps are next. Yeah, Caps year. Everything is... it's one of those weird, this is like the sign of the apocalypse.
Scott Van PeltTiger Woods will never win the Masters again
Do I think he's going to win this tournament again? I don't. No, I don't think he's going to.
Big CatThe Bulls will beat the Raptors in the playoffs because they own them
The Bulls are going to beat the Raptors because they own the Raptors. I'm not saying the Bulls are a better team than the Raptors. The Raptors are a better team overall, but the Bulls, for some reason, just own the Raptors.
PFT CommenterKansas will win the 2019 National Championship
I'm going to go with Kansas [for 2019 champion].
Theo EpsteinKyle Schwarber will be an average defensive left fielder
I think [the concern about his defense] is overblown. I think he'll be average out there in left. You know, he boxed those two balls against the Mets whenever everyone was watching. So everyone thinks he's brutal. So I'll actually probably surprise some people who haven't seen him play since then.
PFT CommenterThe Nationals will win the 2017 World Series
I've got the Nats and the Dodgers [in the NLCS]... and then I'm going with the Red Sox [in the AL]... Red Sox-Nats [World Series]. World Series champion? Nats.
Big CatMiguel Cabrera will win the AL MVP
I think Miguel Cabrera is going to be the AL MVP because he's in that nice spot. He's like 33, maybe getting up there in years, little steroids, getting a little second life.
PFT CommenterThe Capitals will sweep every round and won't lose a game in the 2017 postseason
I'm going to need to go to some Caps games. They're only going to be four per round because they're going to sweep. They're probably not going to lose a game this entire postseason.
Adam MorrisonGonzaga will beat North Carolina 75-71 in the National Championship
I'm going to go... Gonzaga, 75. North Carolina, 71.
Big CatDerrick Rose will be playing in China with Stephon Marbury in a couple years
Except here's one silver lining I'll throw out there. Stephon Marbury versus Derrick Rose in China in a couple years. That'll be good.
PFT CommenterNorth Carolina will win their Final Four game by 20 and the championship by 10
I think [North Carolina] are going to win this game by 20. And then I don't care who they play in the finals. They're going to win by at least 10.
Big CatLegalized gambling will be available across the country in five years.
Football in Vegas, I'm saying, calling your shot five years, say five years, legalized gambling all across the country, it's going to be great.
