Eric Bieniemy only joined the Commanders because he was promised they are getting Lamar Jackson

There might be a little deal behind the scenes with Ron Rivera telling Bieniemy 'Lamar gets franchise tag... if it's not exclusive, oh, we're gonna get Lamar now.' Why would he go to Washington, DC... to go to a starting quarterback, Sam Howell, who started precisely one game?

Bieniemy coached the season with Sam Howell and Jacoby Brissett; Lamar remained in Baltimore.

Dan Snyder will sign Lamar Jackson to a fully guaranteed contract just to spite the other NFL owners

Dan Snyder, out of spite just to fuck over the next owner would love nothing more than to give those two first round picks away and on top of that, throwing a shitload of guaranteed money in a contract extension for Lamar Jackson... it would be a fuck you to those [other owners] that don't want these guaranteed contracts.

Lamar Jackson stayed with the Ravens on a non-fully guaranteed contract; Snyder sold the team without making this move.

Lamar Jackson is losing out on major opportunities by not having an agent

It is crazy Lamar Jackson doesn't have an agent. I know like you can, I'm all for player empowerment, but I feel like he is probably losing out on opportunities without an agent. And what team wa—he has no idea what team wants 'em.

While subjective, many analysts noted the difficulty Lamar faced without an agent during the tag process before eventually signing a record deal.

UCLA will win the 2023 NCAA Tournament

So I'm going with the UCLA Bruins. Mostly because Tiger Campbell and Jaime Jaquez are still on the teams. There's two guys that I know... And Mick Cronin, friend of the show.

UCLA lost in the Sweet 16 to Gonzaga in a classic game.

The NBA rigged the 2006 Dunk Contest for Nate Robinson over Andre Iguodala

Nate Robinson was bullshit. He should have lost to Andre Iguodala... well he missed like 32 dunks in a row and then, and then still won. Prince Nate Robinson. That was the biggest NBA rig thing of all time.

It's a subjective opinion on a judged event, though Robinson notoriously took many attempts to complete his final dunk.

The Chicago Bulls should tank the rest of the 2023 season

Pat Bev coming home to Chicago. It's gonna be—I don't know what the Bulls are doing. They should tank... they suck. They should tank. But I agree, make the Bulls fun with Pat Bev.

The Bulls did not tank; they made the Play-In Tournament and lost, which is the exact 'no man's land' Big Cat feared.

Kentucky is a dangerous long shot that could get hot in the tournament

I actually like Kentucky as like a long shot... something about Cal's guys. He's gone through it. He's legitimately on the hot seat... they have couple crazy guards that are like, we'll just be reckless. And I like, whenever I'm thinking of a long shot, I'm like, give me a couple guards that will just throw their body at the basket.

Kentucky won one game in the tournament and lost in the Second Round to Kansas State.

Ohio State is not good enough to even make the NIT this year

I honestly don't think Ohio State's good enough to make the NIT. They're gonna lose the rest of the season. And the way they've lost is just like every, every which way.

Ohio State finished 16-19 and did not receive an NIT bid.

North Carolina only made the 2022 title game because of the name on their jerseys

I really think that if North Carolina's team last year was wearing different jerseys, they would not have gone to the national championship games. If they were wearing like a mountain west jersey, they would've lost the first round. Exact same group of guys... it's just the laundry they're wearing is different.

This is a subjective theory on psychological sports factors.

Houston is 'the new Gonzaga' of college basketball

Houston as a program is sort of like the new Gonzaga where they have gotten over the hump... the way you look at a Houston team at this point in the season is the way you would look at a Gonzaga team where you're like, yes, they're beating the shit out of everyone... but I don't know about the schedule.

Subjective comparison of program trajectories.

Houston is destined to win the title because of the Jim Nantz narrative

Jim Nantz, last Final Four this year. The Final Four is in Houston. Jim Nantz is an alum of the University of Houston. So connect those stars for me and tell me that's not like, you know, some destiny to play there.

Houston lost in the Sweet 16 to Miami.

Purdue checks 'zero boxes' of a traditional national champion

Purdue checks zero of them. I would say there are zero boxes that Purdue checks... you actually can win with two freshman guards and a coach that's never been to a Final Four, even though he's been coaching for 30 years and a big dude that's 7'4".

Purdue famously lost to 16-seed Fairleigh Dickinson in the first round.

If Zach Edey gets two early fouls in a tournament game, Purdue is finished

The thing with Purdue, if they, if Zach Edey gets two fouls five minutes into any tournament game, it's over.

In their loss to FDU, Edey actually only had two fouls the whole game, but the team's reliance on him was exposed by FDU's pressure and Purdue's poor shooting.

18-year-old LeBron James could have led Akron to a Final Four

If there's one player, it's him... I think they definitely would've been good enough to make a Final Four. He's that good... the goat 18 year old was definitely LeBron.

This is a historical hypothetical that can never be proven.
