The Luka Doncic trade is the most shocking in NBA history

It's not hyperbole to say this is probably the most shocking trade in NBA history. Just because [Doncic] is 25 years old. He's one of the top five players in the NBA. He just took his team to the finals and he gets traded to the Lakers with no bidding whatsoever.

The Mystery Team in the Luka trade was likely invented just to make the Mavs GM feel better

There was a mystery team. I think it was added just to make [Nico Harrison] the Mavs GM feel a little better. But it seems like they did this deal... maybe you're in debt to the ownership of the Lakers. Maybe you need a favor from the Lakers at a later date.

Kentucky fans should boo Coach Cal when he returns

Coach Cal going back to Kentucky... Drop his nuts on Kentucky. That sucked for Kentucky fans. You boom him. You can celebrate him when time has passed and he's not coaching in the SEC anymore. You boo him when he comes back right now. Agreed. He's a league rival.

Rory McIlroy is back and this could be his year to win the Masters

My Who's Back of the week is Rory McIlroy. He's smashing. He won the AT&T Pro-Am at Pebble Beach. This might be his year... he might turn it around.

Rory McIlroy did not win the 2024 or 2025 Masters (judging based on the Feb 2025 date of the show, he would need to win the upcoming April 2025 Masters to be correct).

A successful NFL quarterback must believe they are 'God's gift' to the game

When you go on the field as a quarterback, you cannot leave any room for doubt. I think one way of doing that is... you have to go out there thinking that you are God's gift to this thing. It's an intense level of confidence. I knew that I was aware also of how good I was at football... I was probably the best player.

The decision to play quarterback at an NFL level is binary: 100% in or out

To go back to playing quarterback, you're either like all in or you're not. It's a, to me, in my mind, the schema of how you emotionally, physically, psychologically, spiritually invested in quarterback is binary. You either aren't or you are 100% in. And I had a point in my life where I was like, I am unwilling to hop to the 100% in so I can't do it.

I would decline an offer to play in the Super Bowl as a last-minute emergency replacement

[If asked to play in the Super Bowl without practicing for a whole season] No, thank you. Appreciate it. And I'll tell you why: that's cheap. You gotta go all season. You gotta practice. You gotta earn that. I'd be hyped for the Colts though, if they're there.

Frank Gore is the 'teach tape' for how to be a pass-protecting running back

I got to play with Frank Gore, who's awesome by the way. No one knew pass protection better than Frank Gore. The dude got football... he is the teach tape on how to be a pass-protecting running back. And he is also the teach tape on how to be a gap scheme running back. The dude was unbelievable.

The Luka Doncic trade is one of the most shocking transactions in American sports history

It's one of the most shocking transactions in American sports history for the magnitude and the way it came out of the blue. I've never had my phone go crazy like this. I'm talking about players, head coaches, assistant coaches, executives, referees, agents, lawyers, workout guys, and they all had the exact same question: 'We don't understand what's going on.'

The Mavericks potentially made a catastrophic mistake trading Luka Doncic

I don't understand this, and I think this is potentially a catastrophic mistake. Nico Harrison has got some capital with the Mavs fans, but my God, if Luka turns into this... and the Lakers have another era and Luka has a statue outside Crypto.com and Luka puts up more banners, Nico Harrison will live in infamy.

The Eagles will beat the Chiefs 32-24 in the Super Bowl

Right now I'm gonna go 32-24 Eagles. Couple two point conversions... Four touchdowns all with two point conversions. Halftime score: 16-10. Then the Chiefs are like oh we gotta start going for two. Then it's 24-18. I have it all thought out.

The outcome of Super Bowl 59 between the Chiefs and Eagles (the matchup assumed based on the Feb 3rd air date).
