Chris Paul will never win a championship

Second pick is gonna be Chris Paul. Chris Paul can't win the big one. Just can't do it. He's never gonna win the big one.

Chris Paul is still active (as of mid-2024), but nearing retirement without a ring.

I bet Hank $20,000 that the Patriots won't make a Super Bowl in the next five years

Hank and I have a five year Super Bowl bet. If the Patriots don't get back to the Super Bowl in the next five years... If they do get there in the next five years, I owe Hank $50,000. If they don't, he owes me 20 grand.

Pending. The Patriots have not made the Super Bowl since the bet was made in 2023.

Derek Carr will win NFL MVP in 2022

MVP 2,500. Oh wow. Jersey Jerry... Jersey Jerry gave it to me. I put it in. It's the first future I have. MVP the whole league... With one of the best wide receivers actually. And one of the best offensive coordinators. And they had a lot of promise last year.

Derek Carr had a poor season, was benched late in the year, and was eventually released. Patrick Mahomes won MVP.

Russell Wilson will win NFL MVP in 2022

I think I'm gonna pick Russell Wilson because it's like, you know that the narratives there... If the Broncos are incredible, Russell Wilson will get all the credit. Yeah. All of it. Everything... Peyton Manning his first year in Denver what happened? He went fucking nuts. Exactly.

Russell Wilson had a career-worst season in 2022 and the Broncos were a disaster.

Just a fact spoil they're gonna win the super, they are going to win the super bowl. Finally gonna win. Cuz everyone's like, oh shit. They're not gonna do it because they've lost so many weapons. No, no, no. They built up on defense.

The Green Bay Packers finished 8-9 in the 2022 season and missed the playoffs entirely. The Kansas City Chiefs won Super Bowl LVII in February 2023.

Wisconsin will never win a national title in football or basketball

Personal one, Wisconsin will never win a national title in football or basketball... I accepted it when Coach K paid off the refs at halftime [in 2015], but that was the moment. It will never happen.

Since 2019, Wisconsin has not won a national title in either sport. This remains a 'pending' but currently 'correct' prediction based on results to date.

Bronny James Jr. is a 'buy' stock for future greatness

This is the anti-pander pick, Bronny James Jr. I'm going to squat on that one. I'm going to buy that stock.

Bronny James was eventually drafted by the Lakers in 2024. While 'greatness' is still pending, making the NBA as a second-round pick is a significant achievement, though many would argue his career has been underwhelming relative to the hype.

Bronny James Jr. will be a bust

You are forgetting that this is all about a mountain of greatness. Not predicting future greatness. I still went with Bronny James Jr. Plus, he's going to be a bust.

Bronny James' NBA career is in its infancy as of 2024. However, his limited production in college and as a rookie has led many critics to lean towards Hank's take.

Blue suits will be out of style in two years

I think in two years, everybody's been looking at their closet going, why do I have seven different blue suits? So I would get out of the blue suit game right now.

Blue/navy suits remain the most common staple in men's formalwear years after this prediction.

The Odell Beckham Jr. hair trend is already over

How do we feel about Odell Beckham hair? Is that going to be around two years? No way. That's over. Zac Efron has it now.

The bleached mohawk/frosted look associated with OBJ did fade from mainstream trendiness by the early 2020s.

Rick Pitino will not survive Twitter

Rick Pitino even plans to start a Twitter account. Rick Pitino, listen to me right now. Do not create a Twitter account. You are not going to survive Twitter.com. This is not going to work, Rick. He is going to hate it.

Rick Pitino did join Twitter and, while often mocked, has remained active and survived on the platform for years without deleting it due to backlash.

The Wisconsin Badgers will never win a national title in football or basketball

Wisconsin ever winning a national title in anything... Basketball and football, yeah. So that one, that chip failed the night [of] the Duke game [in 2015]. I actually said it... I was like, that's it. We're never coming back... It's never happening.

As of 2024, Wisconsin has not won a national championship in either sport since this take.

I could make the pros in five years as a knuckleball pitcher with seclusion and a personal chef

I said if you put me in a cabin in the middle of the woods with a personal chef and a knuckleball specialist, I could be in the pros within five years. I think with some training, seclusion, and just a lot more training, I could make it to the double A's and then, you know, who knows what happens from there.

Hank never pursued this and remains a podcaster; he did not make the pros.

Bruce Arians will win a Super Bowl in Arizona and then return to Pittsburgh to win another with Ben Roethlisberger

I want him [Bruce Arians] to win a Super Bowl. I want him to win three. Actually, I want him to win one with Arizona and then go back to Pittsburgh and win one there with Big Ben.

Bruce Arians did not win a Super Bowl with Arizona (he retired from there in 2017) and never returned to coach the Steelers.

Lacrosse will be the fourth major sport in America in 30 years

Should lacrosse take over soccer as the fourth major sport? I think it's got to be us. I think we've got to take it upon ourselves... 30 years.

Lacrosse has not surpassed hockey or soccer in terms of viewership or revenue since this take was made.

I hope the Cavaliers beat the Warriors again next year

I hope the Cavs beat the Warriors again next year. Then David West goes to the Cavs. And then the Warriors beat the Cavs. And he's just stuck losing like every single year.

The Warriors beat the Cavs in 5 games in the 2017 Finals. David West successfully won a ring with the Warriors.
