Dan Le Batard and Stugotz welcomed back a fan-favorite segment, "Celebrity Prognosticator," featuring none other than Clark Connors, affectionately known as "The Intern." Connors, a professional wrestler, joined the show to make his NFL picks and, more importantly, to continue his ongoing, playful feud with Greg Cote. The segment, which involves celebrities picking games against the show's experts, has a storied history, with Chris Jericho currently holding the all-time winner title.
The Celebrity Prognosticator Segment Returns
Dan Le Batard kicked off the segment with palpable excitement, declaring himself "delirious" over the return of "one of our famed and favorite segments ever." He emphasized the significance of the segment, especially with the football season upon them. The premise is simple: a celebrity prognosticator makes NFL picks, and the show's crew attempts to beat them. Le Batard highlighted the segment's history of consistently beating "celebrity prognosticator" Colin Cowherd with "random celebrities who just come on and pick games with us." However, the true joy, according to Le Batard, came from having Clark Connors on the show, the "exactly the person that I would want to do this with today."
