UCLA will still earn a #1 seed despite Jalen Clark's injury

Blue blood, blue blood number one seed. They're [UCLA] probably still gonna get a number one seat.

UCLA was awarded a 2-seed in the 2023 NCAA Tournament, missing out on the 1-seed.

The Duke vs. UNC rivalry is officially dead without Coach K

One casual take I had watching the Duke UNC game was no, no, that rivalry is dead. Dead. Over. Coach K killed it. [He] shouldn't have retired.

This is subjective, but the rivalry remains one of the highest-rated games in college sports, even post-Krzyzewski.

UNC will win the ACC tournament and make the NCAA tournament

Carolina seems like they're not gonna make the tournament. They just seem like a team from a, from a casual point of view that somehow wins the ACC tournament and gets in. And they have experience. They've been on a run before.

UNC lost in the quarterfinals of the ACC Tournament and became the first preseason #1 team to miss the NCAA Tournament since the field expanded.

Jon Jones is the best UFC fighter of all time

I think John Jones is the best UFC fighter of all time, I think at this point. It's hard to say otherwise cuz he has that one loss on his record. But that was just for illegal elbows, right, when he is beating the fuck out of a guy.

This is a widely held but debated opinion in MMA circles, primarily due to drug testing issues.

Ja Morant's strip club gun was surprisingly small and unimpressive

Outside of the seriousness of what's going on in Ja Morant's life, that was a pussy ass gun to flash. That thing was so small.

The weapon seen in the video was indeed a small handgun, though its impact on his career was massive regardless of size.

Professional athletes should never go live on social media

If you're a professional athlete, you should just never go live anywhere. There's no reason you're live all the time for your job. Right. It's called playing the sport. There's no need to go live. Too much bad shit can happen when you go live.

This is a philosophical stance on athlete conduct and risk management.

Ja Morant is personally responsible for his behavior, not just his 'surroundings'

The line that a lot of people been using is like he's surrounding himself around people. I think that's a lazy take. Like Ja Morant is, I would imagine the alpha of his friend group. He is the guy who has all this talent... you have to pick better choices.

This is an analysis of leadership and personal agency.

NFL GMs should risk everything to draft Anthony Richardson at #1 overall

I dunno how you can be a GM and not risk everything to get him [Anthony Richardson]. Get him number one. Huh?

Richardson was drafted #4 overall by the Colts, not #1. While he showed great promise, injuries hampered his rookie season.

Bryce Young is officially too fat to draft after his Combine weigh-in

I actually ran the BMI on Bryce Young for his exact height and weight. 29.3. He's borderline obese. Yeah. He's too fat to draft. This guy's a tub of shit.

Young was drafted #1 overall, so NFL teams clearly did not think he was 'too fat' or 'obese' in a disqualifying way.

The Phoenix Suns will win the NBA championship and Chris Paul will get his ring

I'm still, I'm all in on these Suns. I am, I am. Chris Paul getting that ship this year. I just, I don't see a way that Chris Paul loses this year. Yeah. I don't see it.

The Suns lost to the Denver Nuggets in the Western Conference Semifinals.

Passion for the game is the most important trait in a draft prospect

For us it's passion for the game. And that's the cool thing about these interviews... guys sit down and you throw the film on. You see this body language from the guys that it's like different. They get to the edge of their seat.

This is a coaching philosophy that can only be judged by the long-term success of the players they drafted (e.g., Darnell Wright, Tyrique Stevenson).

The team with the #1 overall pick is essentially the second-best team in the NFL

There is only one team that can win a Super Bowl. Everyone else is a loser. Except the team that has the first pick. We are literally the second best team. There's the first pick in the Super Bowl. Right. That's it.

By definition, the team with the #1 pick had the worst record. This is a satirical logic exercise.

Sloth bears are more vicious than honey badgers

I've been going on a deep dive and rabbit hole on sloth bears. They're the most vicious animal on earth. I think more vicious than a honey badger. They fight tigers and tigers are literally scared of them.

Sloth bears are indeed highly aggressive and known to stand their ground against tigers, though crowning a 'most vicious' animal is subjective.
