Joe Flacco will start the regular season for the Cleveland Browns

Right now I have [Joe] Flacco number one again on my Cleveland Browns' quarterbacks. I think, I think Flacco starts a regular season.

Deshaun Watson started the regular season for the Browns in 2024; Flacco had moved on to the Colts by the time of the 2024 season.

Happy Gilmore 2 was just a nostalgia blast rather than a good movie

I thought it was exactly what I expected going in and that it wasn't the best movie. It was nostalgia. There was a shitload of cameos. I laughed a few times and I went away being like, okay, that was fun.

Critical reception was mixed-to-negative, supporting the 'not the best movie' take, though 'fun' is subjective.

Happy Gilmore 2 would be the worst movie ever if you hadn't seen the first one

Now if you haven't seen Happy Gilmore and you just watch Happy Gilmore 2, it's probably the worst movie of all time. If you've never seen the first one... they didn't try to make a brand new movie. They were just like, we're gonna make a funny, silly movie that is basically all head nods to the first one.

This is a hypothetical opinion on the movie's standalone quality.

Happy Gilmore 1 is the funniest movie of all time

I'm just gonna get mad. I wanna just enjoy a movie and Happy Gilmore 1 is the funniest movie of all time.

This is a subjective opinion about the quality of a comedy film.

Nikola Jokic cares more about his horses winning than winning NBA championships

It was abundantly clear that [Jokic] cares more about his horse winning races than he does about winning NBA championships.

Subjective interpretation of Jokic's emotional state, though Jokic has publicly prioritized his horses in interviews.

Inside the NBA at ESPN will struggle to maintain its magic if they cut it for SportsCenter

The number one time on our show is after the game. You get like 4 to 5 minutes to shoot the shit. That's the magic. But me and Ernie have talked about it... Are they gonna say 'No guys, y'all got 15 minutes. We gotta go to SportsCenter'?

The transition to ESPN/ABC is scheduled for the 2025-26 season. We will have to see if the format changes.

The Eagles will be really good because they have the best GM in the NFL

Well, they're gonna be really good... Howie Roseman's probably the best GM in the NFL now. They gonna be good.

The Eagles had a bounce-back year in 2024 following a late 2023 collapse, validating the 'really good' claim.

Bill Belichick and the media had a business relationship he only liked when he was winning

You can treat the media how you want to when you win. But you got to understand when you're a loser, they gonna come for you... If you don't understand the business relationship, you need to get another real job.

This is an expert opinion on professional dynamics and media relations.

The only way to win at gambling is to bet money lines on favorites

Gambling on sports is the only way to win. But you have to bet the money line... where you only gonna win cents on the dollar. Because teams always win. They just never cover.

Mathematically, favorites often lose outright, and money lines are priced to ensure a house edge. It's a gambler's fallacy/strategy rather than a verifiable fact.

Toronto is the best city in the world

Toronto's the best city in the world easily. Chicago summers are the second best. Those are my two favorite places in the world.

City rankings are entirely a matter of personal preference.
