Giannis Antetokounmpo's Game 4 block belongs in the Pantheon of all-time NBA Finals blocks

That block, [Giannis's] block, Pantheon of blocks. I'd say it's finals... greatest turnaround, no question. Greatest Mike Breen witnessed finals block of all time.

The block is widely cited by sports media as one of the greatest defensive plays in Finals history.

Khris Middleton is not a superstar, but a very good player who is occasionally great

Chris Middleton now has everyone befuddled because we have this rule in media and how we digest all these games... Are you a superstar or not? 40 points, you should be a superstar, but he's not, he's just a guy who's very good and then sometimes great. And I think that's a totally fine place to put him.

This is a subjective assessment of a player's status in the NBA hierarchy.

Chris Paul's poor Game 4 performance might be due to vertigo

I don't know what vertigo is. Is that considered an injury or is that considered a disease or an ailment? I think he has vertigo. Because he just, he looked dizzy when he was trying to dribble the ball. Like he didn't know where the ball was going to come up after I hit the ground.

Chris Paul did not have vertigo; his poor performance was later attributed more to defensive pressure and a lingering hand injury.

The Bucks will win the NBA Finals

I think the Bucks [win]. I just, and it's based solely on the fact that... I do actually think Chris Paul has some type of injury because there is no explanation for how he's playing. And if he has that type of injury, the Suns are kind of fucked.

The Bucks won the series 4-2, clinching on July 20, 2021.

College football coaches should shave their mullets to avoid outshining players in the NIL era

I think it's a smart move in this new name, image, likeness era of college sports to shave. You can't stand out more than your players. You can market to your players like, hey, you'll get so much money if you come to school here. If you have more swag than your players, then they might be like, 'listen, I'm not even the biggest fish on campus.'

While a humorous take, it is inherently subjective and satirical, impossible to measure as a factual business outcome.

Cracking down on 'Horns Down' is the softest move of all time

Horns down is now being cracked down on even more, which is the softest move of all time. The softest move of all time. Well, they're saying that you can't do it to a Texas player... Texas shouldn't be able to do horns up if you can't do horns down.

The Big 12 did indeed implement rules that could penalize the 'Horns Down' gesture as unsportsmanlike conduct.

Kentucky basketball is loaded up and ready to return to the top this year

I feel like we're just about ready to shoot to the top... We're loading up right now. [Ready to] go back to the top.

Kentucky finished the 2021-22 season strong in the regular season but suffered one of the greatest upsets in tournament history, losing to 15-seed Saint Peter's.

Milk is the official state beverage of Kentucky

Kentucky state beverage is milk... for how much bourbon they store, largest in the world, and the mint juleps they serve at the Kentucky Derby, Kentucky state beverage is milk.

Milk was designated as the official state drink of Kentucky in 2005.

Sean Miller would be the greatest used car salesman of all college basketball coaches

The easy answer is going to be Sean Miller on this one. Just because you can see him patrolling the lot out there, sweating through his suit. That's a man that was born to be in a used car commercial.

This is a subjective comparison of a coach's persona to a profession.

F1 is a game where you have to outspend your competitors to win

My fire Fest is I downloaded the F1 game on my phone and I've spent $140 upgrading my car in the last two weeks... you gotta have the most money if you want to win. Right. Exactly. So I think I'm going to outspend the competitors.

In mobile gaming and real F1, financial resources are widely recognized as a primary driver of performance.

Olympic drug testing will expose golfers with suspicious size increases

The Olympics are coming up around the corner... guess what sport is also in the Olympics and they're starting to do the eligibility for? Golf. So you know, if you see any like discrepancies in people's drive [and] their size compared to their size maybe two years ago... They don't drug test in the PGA. [The IOC tests] are pretty hard.

No major golfers failed drug tests at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics (held in 2021), and Bryson DeChambeau actually missed the Olympics due to a positive COVID-19 test.
