Danny Hurley likely delayed UConn's flight on purpose to create motivation

It wouldn't shock me if Danny Hurley actually, oh, delayed that flight. Oh. yeah. False flag. So therefore he could complain about this. They, but whatever it is, they've got motivation.

OpinionCBBMediumSarcastic
While UConn won the championship (proving the 'motivation' worked), there is no evidence Hurley actually sabotaged his own team's travel.

I will pay for John Fisher's hair restoration if he appears on the podcast

John Fisher because you're a bald fuck. Big Cat will pay for your hair restoration for one appearance on Pardon My Take. Because he is bald. Take it. You bald bitch.

The offer stands as a satirical challenge, but Fisher never appeared on the show.

Trading Stefon Diggs is a genius move for the Houston Texans

I do love this move for the Texans. I think it's a genius move for the Texans. They are basically going all in under CJ Stroud's rookie contract. This is what a team should do. Yeah. Like if you're a Texans fans, you should be really pumped.

The Texans have been a playoff-caliber team following the trade, though Diggs' season was cut short by injury in late 2024.

The Buffalo Bills are forced into a hard reset but will be fine as long as they have Josh Allen

The bills should be criticized for going all in with this older team that wasn't able to win a Super Bowl. But now this is the reality. They have to, they have to hit their hard reset... But that's just the reality of it. And even still, if you're a Bills fan, as doom and gloom as it might seem to trade Stefon Diggs, you have Josh Allen and if you draft well you'll still have a shot.

The Bills started the 2024 season strongly and remained competitive despite losing Diggs, supporting the idea that Allen is the engine.

Tiger Woods was better at golf when he was 'dirtier' and having more sex

Tiger was at his best when... the grip of his putter smelled like absolute shit from his hands. Perkins waitresses. The dirtier Tiger was the better golf. Yeah. When he was getting it in the hole. Now he's gonna not do, maybe he just can't have sex 'cause he like, he can't walk.

Tiger Woods finished 60th at the 2024 Masters, the worst finish of his career for those who made the cut, suggesting the sex ban didn't lead to a resurgence.

UConn only needs to play a 'C-minus' game to beat most teams

UConn is just a kind of a, there's levels and they're just at a different level right now if they come out and play. Like UConn would have to play what a c minus game to give Alabama a chance. Like if I think of, if UConn plays a B game, they beat everyone.

UConn won every game in the tournament by double digits, including the championship.

The NBA Bubble Championship is a legitimate title that requires winning difficult games

Gotta still play. The games gotta still show up and win the game. So I mean, there's something to play for, you know, like the NCAA tournament. Yeah. You know, I mean, it happened... I would say just for the, just for like the, like all the extra stuff that comes with it. Right. You know, like being able to celebrate with fans afterwards, being able to have a parade... it would've been different having 16,000 people.

Whether it 'counts' is subjective, but he literally won it.

Approximately 27 to 30 NBA players could lead a 16-seed to a National Championship

I was gonna go like triple. Way more triple, triple that maybe. 30, maybe 40... guys in the NBA are so good, man. Yeah, yeah. Like you gotta automatically think bigs have an advantage 'cause it's college. So like the big is back, right? Yeah... We'll go with this. 27. 27.

This is a hypothetical claim about the talent gap that cannot be definitively proven but is a popular debate topic among NBA players.

The worst shooter in the NBA would be the best shooter on any college team

I've seen JaVale McGee and Dwight Howard go shot for shot from the three point line to five spots... and y'all would never trust them to shoot like outside in the game... the worst shooter on the NBA team would be the best shooter on a college team. Yeah. And like that's even including big men.

Subjective comparison of talent pools, though widely supported by basketball scouts.

I regret to inform you Billy football is a hundred percent legitimately running for this seat. And my fire Fest is that I feel like Oppenheimer, that by, by putting this into motion, I've affected the course of the United States for the foreseeable future.

Billy Football (William Cotter) did file paperwork and run for the seat in New York's 3rd district.
