A Seinfeld clip was brilliantly used to analyze John Lynch’s body language for Trey Lance talk

This Seinfeld clip may prove John Lynch is nervous about Trey Lance.

How are the San Francisco 49ers feeling about their quarterback position in the 2023 offseason? 

And specifically: How do they feel about Trey Lance, who only played two games last season before missing the rest of 2022 with an injury?

GM John Lynch took to the podium at the NFL combine and was seen scratching his head as he answered a Lance question, and that’s when @StatsOnFire on Twitter decided to splice in the classic Seinfeld clip from “The Wallet” in which Jerry notices Elaine touching her face when talking about her boyfriend, a tell that indicates she might not be that happy.

Seriously, this is brilliant:

Seinfeld NBA prediction came true again as bettor cashed in on Spurs-Cavaliers score guess

Seinfeld predicted the NBA future again, and a bettor cashed in.

One bettor has to be thankful that he’s a Seinfeld fan after nailing an NBA score prediction thanks to the classic sitcom.

Twitter user Michael Mulholland shared this week that he won a correct score prediction for Monday night’s Cleveland Cavaliers/San Antonio Spurs game based on a clip from an old Seinfeld episode.

In the segment from the 1991 episode “The Heart Attack,” Jerry Seinfeld consults with George Costanza’s holistic healer Tor Eckman (actor Stephen Tobolowsky) about something written on a piece of paper.

Eckman reads the score of a Cavs-Spurs game that was happening around that time. The final score that Eckman tells Jerry? Cleveland 117, San Antonio 109.

Seinfeld rolled his eyes at Eckman’s interpretation, but it’s a good thing this bettor didn’t.

Mulholland won $681.21 from FanDuel predicting the score of the game, with Cleveland netting 117 points against San Antonio’s 109. His prediction had +26000 odds.

So Eckman really knew what he was talking about all those years ago.

However, it’s not the first time. The 1991 Seinfeld prediction actually came true in 2019 when the Cavs beat the Spurs, 117-109, in overtime.

Bettors might want to comb through the rest of the Seinfeld catalog to see what other predictions might be in store. Just don’t look for any Yankees analysis from Costanza.

Joe Burrow wore an amazing pair of ‘Seinfeld’ sweatpants after beating Bills and NFL fans loved them

Joe Burrow’s Seinfeld sweatpants are real, and they’re spectacular.

Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals went in to snowy Buffalo on Sunday and bullied the Bills all day long while punching their ticket back into the AFC title game with a 27-10 win over Josh Allen and Co.

Burrow had some fun right after the game, talking about refunds for all the fans who had bought tickets for a possible neutral site AFC championship game, which is no longer happening.

Then after he got back into the locker room Burrow slipped into an incredible pair of Seinfeld sweatpants. Yes, that Seinfeld – one of the greatest sitcoms in television history.

I had no idea something like this existed but now I need them:

I mean, look at these things:

Amazing.

NFL fans loved them.

The 8 best Festivus moments from ‘Seinfeld,’ ranked

A look back at the best holiday moments from “The Strike.”

Editor’s note: We published this in 2021, but figured you’d enjoy it on this Dec. 23!

Happy Festivus to all who celebrate!

That’s right: Every year on December 23, ever since the Season 9 episode of Seinfeld known as The Strike aired in 1997, we’ve celebrated the Festivus for the rest of us — a holiday made up by George Costanza’s father Frank (played by the late, amazing and hilarious Jerry Stiller) in response to the commercialism of Christmas, complete with an aluminum pole, airing of grievances and feats of strength.

So on this, the latest Festivus, I’ve decided to comb through the episode and come up with a ranking of the best moments related to the holiday from the ep:

Attention Seinfeld fans: you’re gonna love this pairing at the 2022 U.S. Amateur

Someone at the USGA is ‘real and spectacular’ at his or her job.

“I called in sick. I don’t work in the rain.”

If you’re not a Seinfeld fan, that probably went right over your head. If you are, then you know Newman, like many golfers, doesn’t work in the rain.

And it seems, according to the pairings at next week’s U.S. Amateur at Ridgewood Country Club in New Jersey — about 20 minutes from the backdrop of the hit sitcom — someone at the USGA is a big fan of the show.

For the first two rounds of the USGA championship, Mark Costanza and Hazen Newman will be playing together. Throw a Kremer in there — as in Campbell Kremer — and you’ve got the perfect trio.

We’re assuming this may not have been an accident.

This incredible move by the USGA didn’t go unnoticed by Golf Twitter:

U.S. Amateur: Notable groupings

Julia Louis-Dreyfus and J.J. Watt have wholesome Twitter exchange full of compliments

Who’s to say Louis-Dreyfus wouldn’t be an NFL star?

There’s no question that Julia Louis-Dreyfus and J.J. Watt are two of the more successful people ever to grace their fields.

For her work on Seinfeld and Veep, among other things, Louis-Dreyfus is the arguable greatest comedic actress ever (this side of Lucille Ball). She’s one of the funniest people ever to grace the silver or medium-sized screen.

Meanwhile, Watt is a three-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year and (likely) future Hall of Famer.

Okay, no disrespect to Watt, but Louis-Dreyfus has the clear edge in overall cultural influence and tangible merits. By miles. It’s not even debatable. She’s so talented that she undoubtedly receives unprompted compliments all the time.

Even from people like Watt, who couldn’t help but tweet his love for the actress’s work as Vice President Selina Meyer on Veep.

Yes, Justin James. It is a perfect American satire executed to perfection. You are correct, sir.

Of course, whenever a person with Watt’s reach (over 5.6 million Twitter followers) tweets about someone else famous, it’s bound to get attention. Like, say, Louis-Dreyfus — who couldn’t help but reciprocate Watt’s compliment of her work with praise of his work.

Ah, the “yet.” There’s the rub.

Whereas Watt may never play a political figure to perfection, I wouldn’t put a limit on what the 61-year-old Louis-Dreyfus can accomplish if she puts her mind to it. I can’t be the only one who thinks that she could match Watt’s sack numbers if she donned the pads right now.

What, in all honesty, could stop the comedic legend?
