I would fire Joe Mazzulla right now before Game 4

If I were you, Hank, I would want to fire [Joe] Mazzulla right now before Game 4. Get Brad [Stevens] in there.

Mazzulla was not fired; he remained the coach and eventually won the 2024 NBA title.

Boston as a city does not have what it takes to come back from down 3-0

No teams ever come back down from three-oh in the NBA. I don't think Boston as a city has what it takes to come down from three-oh.

The Celtics did force a Game 7 but lost at home, so they did not complete the comeback. No NBA team has ever successfully come back from 3-0.

Heat Culture is the strongest strain of culture in the world

Heat culture. I know I declared it dead... ever since that moment, I don't think there's been anything stronger in the world than heat culture. It is the strongest strain of culture out there.

The Heat made the NBA Finals as an 8th seed, validating the 'strength' of their culture during that run.

Brooks Koepka is the closest player to Tiger Woods in big moments

Obviously Tiger's the greatest... but I think Brooks is the closest to Tiger in terms of big lights showing up. Like the ice in his veins in these big moments. He's just there.

This is subjective, but Koepka's 5th major win put him in elite company as a modern 'big game hunter' in golf.

Brooks Koepka will catch Tiger Woods's major record

Brooks is 10 away from Tiger. I'm gonna be the first to say it. Brooks can catch Tiger Woods's major record.

Tiger has 15 majors; Brooks has 5. Brooks would need 10 more to tie, which is statistically improbable for a player in his 30s.

You play golf better when you're hungover

That just backs up, I think what a lot of us already know, which is you play golf better when you're hungover. Because you're like, get me the fuck out of the sun. I wanna get home. So you play faster.

Inherently subjective and largely a comedic observation.

D'Angelo Russell is maybe the worst player ever

Dlo [D'Angelo] Russell is maybe the worst player ever. It's puzzling how bad the Lakers have been.

Russell is objectively an All-Star caliber NBA player, though he had a terrible series.

Lakers Money Line Game 4 is my Game of the Year

I'm gonna do a Game of the Year. Lakers money line game four. It's gotta happen. You know the NBA will not let LeBron James get swept in this series.

The Nuggets swept the Lakers 4-0; the Lakers lost Game 4 113-111.

Antonio Brown will dominate the Arena Football League

I think [Antonio Brown] will probably dominate them if I had to guess. He was in the league, what, two years ago? He won a Super Bowl three years ago.

Antonio Brown never actually played for the Albany Empire; the team was eventually kicked out of the league due to financial issues.

Swimmers are split between engine-based athletes and coordinated athletes

You still have two different kinds of athletes. You have athletes who probably could have done another sport... and then you have other people that just have an engine... but they can't jump, they can't run, they can't do anything but that [swim].

This is a descriptive observation of athletic types in a niche sport.

Jimmy Tatro is a movie star

I've seen you [Jimmy Tatro] and stuff. You're a movie star. I am not a movie star. I think this is where I end up. I don't think you end up here.

Orcas will be a major problem for humans in the future

Orcas have been attacking boats off the coast of Spain recently and been training other orcas to do it too. There's gonna be an orca human problem for the future.

While orca interactions with boats have increased, 'orca human problem' as a systemic threat is speculative.
