Illinois is the number one team in college basketball

Illinois is officially the number one team in the country according to my power rankings. What a night in college basketball. They absolutely kicked the shit out of Michigan... I want everyone to understand that the rankings are not predictive. They're reactive. So I reacted to the last week.

The rankings are subjective, but Illinois did secure a #1 seed in the 2021 tournament, proving they were elite at the time.

Teams should drop in the rankings if they go to overtime

The Baylor game, we can get to that in a little bit. But if you go to overtime, I feel like you should drop in the rankings. That should be reflected on the back end.

This is a subjective philosophy on how polls should work.

Gonzaga will probably win the NCAA tournament

And again, I think Gonzaga is, Gonzaga probably will win the tournament. They probably are going to win the tournament, whatever.

Gonzaga reached the championship game but lost to Baylor.

Missing the tournament is better for Duke than losing in the first round

I actually agree with that. I think that not making the tournament is actually way better for Duke than making the tournament and getting skunked in the first round. Just getting, like, blown out.

Duke did miss the tournament in 2021 for the first time since 1995.

JJ Watt signed with the Cardinals because they offered the most guaranteed money

J.J. Watt is signing with the Cardinals. I just assume it's the most money... it's the most guaranteed money. I know Kyler Murray and all this stuff. I think it's the most guaranteed money and he probably just didn't want to play in the cold.

Watt signed a two-year, $31 million deal with $23 million guaranteed, which was significantly higher than other rumored offers.

The Cardinals won't be good because Kliff Kingsbury is still their coach

I just, yeah, I, their defense might be better. They still have Kliff Kingsbury as their coach so I don't believe in them.

The Cardinals started 7-0 in 2021 but collapsed late in the season and lost in the Wild Card round.

Ted Lasso could coach the Jets to a 10-6 record

You can't convince me that Ted Lasso couldn't take the Jets to 10-6.

Ted Lasso is a fictional character, and the Jets went 4-13 in 2021.

The NFL will eventually expand to an 18-game schedule

My hot seat is the 16-game schedule for the NFL because it looks like we're going to 17. And my cool throw will be the 18-game schedule because as soon as we go to 17, we're going to go to 18. It's the greatest, like, sleight of hand that the NFL is doing here.

The NFL officially moved to 17 games in 2021. Expansion to 18 games is still a major topic of negotiation and widely expected by analysts.

I can still throw the ball 40 yards but would regret being hit

In a real life football game, you don't throw it 80 yards. You throw it, you know, two, three yards, five, 10, 15, maybe an occasional 40. But I can do that. I just – they can't promise me they're not going to hit me... I'm 51 years old... so going back to play, I could do it. But I think the repercussions would be – I would regret it certainly.

This is a personal claim that cannot be fully verified without him playing, but at 51, he remains one of the strongest arms in history.

NFL players shouldn't be able to demand trades over personnel decisions

But I don't think a player should be able to demand who they want interviewed or what players they want to pick up or let go. I mean, that crosses the line... I just don't think that it's right for a player to be upset and demand a trade because they didn't interview someone he wanted to interview.

This is a subjective opinion on league dynamics.

There's an outside chance Russell Wilson gets traded to the Bears

As we speak, I think there's an outside chance that Russell Wilson could go there [Chicago]. That would be a huge pickup... That would change the dynamics big time.

Wilson was eventually traded to the Broncos, not the Bears.
