Alex Ovechkin should not have been on the power play during Game 5

Ovy did not look well on the ice tonight. He looked pretty slow... I almost think that he shouldn't even be on the power play right now. Because he wasn't, he did not look like he was moving around like the Ovy that we saw in the regular season.

The Capitals were swept by the Rangers (the transcript mentions 'Hurricanes' but they actually played the Rangers in 2024; Whisper error likely). Ovechkin was held scoreless for the entire series.

Caleb Williams has good judgment for realizing the previous Bears coaching staff were 'morons'

I was wrong for thinking that Caleb Williams always wanted to be a bear, but I was right that Caleb Williams is the guy because he knew better than anyone that Shane Waldron and Matt Eberflus were fucking morons. Like he has good judgment.

Eberflus was retained but the offensive staff was overhauled. Caleb's success is still pending.

Luke Cornett is currently a better option for the Celtics than Kristaps Porzingis

Luke Cornett, like, I actually think that whatever Kristaps has, Luke Cornett is a better option than Kristaps right now. And Joe Mazzulla obviously agrees 'cause the second half he sat Kristaps.

While Cornett played well in Porzingis' absence due to injury, Porzingis was vital to the Celtics' Finals win once he returned, though he dealt with further injury.

Steph Curry is the West Coast version of Joel Embiid in the playoffs

Some are saying that Steph Curry is the West coast version of Joel Embiid in the playoffs.

Embiid has never reached a Conference Final, whereas Curry has 4 rings and 2 MVPs. The comparison is factually absurd but delivered for comedic effect.

Anthony Edwards will score 50 points in a game during the Western Conference Finals

I'm gonna say it right now. 50 Burger coming for Anthony Edwards in this series [WCF]. Feels I'm excited.

Anthony Edwards' high score in the 2024 WCF against the Mavericks was 33 points. He did not score 50.

The NFL should never allow division games to be played internationally

I think it is absolutely bullshit to have any division game played international... That is so stupid.

This is a subjective opinion on league policy.

The Bears and Commanders will meet in the 2025 NFC Championship game

This is January 25th and it is the Washington Commanders against the Chicago Bears for the NFC championship. Wow. That is my game of the year. Putting it all on the line.

The 2024 season is ongoing, but neither team is currently projected as the clear NFC Championship favorites.

Luka Doncic will come back in elite shape next season due to the conditioning criticism

I think you're gonna see a different Luka. I do. I think you're gonna see Luka... I think he comes back in elite shape next year.

Outcome pending for the start of the 2024-25 season.

Nikola Jokic is the best basketball player in the world and was since his rookie year

I thought he was the best basketball player in the world... I watched it and at the end of the practice they asked me, said, what'd you think? I said, I don't know who that fat kid is over there, but he's your best player. And it's not even close.

Jokic has won 3 MVPs and a Finals MVP since this time, confirming Miller's evaluation of his talent.

The Triple Crown schedule must be adjusted as trainers will no longer run horses on two weeks' rest

The Preakness is a classic... but they think it is counterproductive to bring [Mystik Dan] back in just two weeks... It's gonna happen more and more frequently in the future until such time as the Triple Crown races become further apart on the calendar.

Discussions about extending the Triple Crown schedule are ongoing in the industry, but no official change has been made yet.

Clever Again is a strong play to beat the favorite Mystik Dan in the Preakness

There's another horse in the race called Clever Again, trained by Steve Asmussen... he's got speed. He's coming off a really strong race. He's had plenty of rest... I think to take a shot against [Mystik Dan] on the theory that [Mystik Dan] might not perform quite as well in the Preakness as he did in the Derby.

Seize the Grey won the 2024 Preakness. Clever Again did not win.
