Tanking is officially dead in the NBA

The NBA draft lottery... Tanking is over. Turns out Nate Silver is full of shit. Pelicans had the ninth best odds, they get the number one pick. Grizzlies had the eighth best odds, they get the two pick. The Knicks had the first best odds, they get the three pick. And the Lakers had the 11th best odds, they get the four pick. Tanking is over.

The NBA's lottery reform has largely achieved the goal of discouraging blatant tanking by reducing the reward for the worst records.

Roger Goodell will implement an NFL draft lottery by the time Trevor Lawrence is eligible

I was watching the draft lottery, and all I kept thinking about was Roger Goodell is going to make sure that the NFL has some sort of lottery in place by the time Trevor Lawrence becomes eligible because he saw this was an event. This was bigger than the playoff game tonight because it involved so many other franchises.

Trevor Lawrence was drafted in 2021 and the NFL still has not implemented a draft lottery.

The Warriors-Trail Blazers series will go five games

The Warriors are currently, there's two minutes left in the game, and they're going to beat the Trailblazers by like 15... So this series is going to go five, like I said.

The Warriors swept the Trail Blazers 4-0.

NCAA Football is the greatest video game of all time

NCAA video game is back. Well, maybe back. NCAA formed a committee to bring back the NCAA football game. And this is the greatest news I think that has ever happened in my life. Because that game is the best game ever.

While it's a subjective opinion, it is a very common sentiment among sports gamers, and the game did eventually return as predicted by the news item.

I guarantee I will win the career Grand Slam

At what point in your career do you think you'll have all four majors? Guarantee it. I'm trying to figure out when the next time we play St. Andrews because I will win one at St. Andrews. I know that.

As of late 2024, Koepka has won 5 majors (3 PGAs, 2 US Opens) but has not yet won the Masters or The Open, leaving him short of the Grand Slam.

Golf courses should be shortened to 14 or 15 holes to be more fun

How do you speed up the game? Literally, I would just make it like 15 holes, 14 holes... Because then you get to go in the 19th hole a little bit quicker... It gets boring from like hole 5 to 12. You're just like, where am I right now?

The standard length for a professional golf course remains 18 holes.

Golfers wear metal spikes just to hear the clicking sound on concrete

I don't wear the spikes... soft spikes. [Some] guys wear the metal ones. I have no idea why. I think it's just to hear the click clack when they're walking over concrete... to make them feel like athletes.

The reason golfers wear spikes is primarily for traction, but Koepka's psychological analysis is subjective.

Hannah B. is a bad Bachelorette because she cried too much in the first episode

I'm not a Hannah B fan whatsoever, so I would grade it like a C. The season's going to be tough. If you're the Bachelorette and you cry over the first guy, it's like you're the Bachelorette, you have 30 guys. One guy fucks you over, you're supposed to kick him to the curb and move on.

Hannah Brown's season went on to be one of the most popular and highly-rated in the franchise's history, despite Hank's early criticism.

Nursing school graduation is a second-tier event that doesn't require a video recording

Should I be mad at my boyfriend for not videoing me walk across the stage at my nursing school graduation? No. Nursing school, that means it's probably your second graduation, right? So you probably already had a degree. Maybe if you were a doctor [it would matter].

This is a purely subjective relationship opinion designed to be 'mean' for comedy.
