The Big 10 Women's Basketball tournament will be better than the Men's tournament

The Big 10 tournament for the women's college basketball is gonna be better than the Big 10 men's tournament. I'll just say that right now.

While subjective, the 2024 Big 10 Women's tournament (won by Iowa) drew record ratings and significantly more national buzz than the men's tournament.

No one will ever hit 40,000 career points in the NBA again

The craziest thing about Lebron 40,000 points is I don't, I don't think anyone's gonna hit it. Like I don't, even though the scoring is crazy in the NBA right now, I was looking at it and Luca has 10,000 points in six years, but to say Luca can play to be 40 years old with his body, no offense to his body would be a jump.

This will take decades to resolve, but currently, no active player is on a realistic pace to match LeBron's longevity.

LeBron James is the second-best basketball player of all time

I also feel like we've done at least an okay job respecting the fact that he is an insane, insane basketball talent who is, you know, people will say he is the best of all time. I have him too. Which is, and I think the gap between two and three is huge.

GOAT rankings are inherently subjective.

The 2023-2024 Boston Celtics are in a 'Championship or Bust' year

The Celtics have been, they've been to a final, they've been to some conference finals. You have to win it all this year. Yeah. If you don't, it's a failure.

The Celtics won the 2024 NBA Finals, avoiding the 'bust' scenario.

The Denver Nuggets will win the NBA Championship back-to-back

I don't think I can make a future bet on this because the price isn't great, but I just think the nugs are gonna win again. I think it's back to back. Nugs.

The Nuggets lost in the Western Conference Semifinals to the Timberwolves.

Villanova is a great bet at 150-1 to win the NCAA Tournament

I bet on Villanova 150 to one. I looked at the prices, I was like, what's a, what's a way I could win half a million dollars. Oh, Villanova.

Villanova did not make the 2024 NCAA Tournament.

An NFL GM should draft Joe Milton #1 overall just for his arm strength

Joe Milton's a franchise quarterback. Yeah. Is that fucking throw is so awesome. I said if I'm a gm I'm drafting this guy One one overall. And that's the thing with Joe Milton is like, you will fall. All you need to know about Joe Milton and the most impressive tape out there besides this one pass that he had today, which was like 75 yards, half a step into it. ... This man can throw fruit farther than anybody else that's ever lived. Give me that guy.

Joe Milton was drafted in the 6th round (193rd overall) by the Patriots, nowhere near the #1 pick.

Tyler Owens is pretending to not believe in space to get a free rocket ride from NASA

I actually think it, it's not a bad thing to say that you don't believe in space. You don't believe in, in the round earth theory, if you want to get a free ride on a Rocket ship, because there's always one guy where NASA's like, yeah, fuck you. We'll show you. Yeah. We'll take you up to space and you can get a look at it. Like, yeah, you know what, I, I also believe that space is fake. NASA prove help, help me prove myself wrong.

This is a satirical theory and cannot be truly verified unless Tyler Owens admits to the scheme.

The Patriots documentary 'The Dynasty' is a hit piece on Bill Belichick designed to help Robert Kraft

This documentary, I think it's having the reverse effect that Robert Kraft thought it was gonna have. ... It's so clearly slanted towards Robert Kraft, but it's so, so slanted towards Robert Kraft that it's completely making me hate Robert Kraft and unnecessarily like they're going over the top to Slan it. They blamed Aaron Hernandez on Bill Belichick. Yeah. And basically made it like Robert Kraft was trying to save him.

The documentary's bias was widely noted by sports media critics and former Patriots players like Julian Edelman and Matthew Slater.

Engagement parties for men are 'a joke' and 'bullshit'

Engagement Party's a joke guy for guys. For guys. Yeah. Yeah. That's a fucking joke. Engagement party is the most optional thing in the world. Engagement party is a fucking bullshit thing that no one should even have or be invited to.

This is a social opinion.

AI and Hawkeye technology for NFL first downs will make the sport less fun

I don't like it at all. ... People are always like, oh, we're we're measuring like this billion dollar industry with a chain and sticks held by old retired guys on the sideline. Yeah. That's part of why it rocks. ... If you put AI into sports and you make robot umps and robot referees, you are depriving men of somewhere between 50 and 75% of the conversations they have with each other. ... What the fuck are we gonna talk about?

This is a philosophical opinion on the nature of sports fandom.

Sydney Sweeney is bringing back the era of 'tits' over 'asses'

My who's back of the week is Sydney Sweeney. She was on SNL. ... People are saying, is Sidney Sweeney bringing back tits? Well, there's been don don't know. What would you say? A decade run where asses have been number one. ... We might look back in history and be like, when did Tits come back? Sidney Sweeney.

This is an observation of cultural trends which cannot be scientifically proven.

I like Drake Maye more than Caleb Williams because he looks tougher

Drake [Maye] really jumped off the page. ... He just had a little more swag, looked a little tougher. And so like, I've kind of been drawn to more toughness, so I would say.

The Commanders eventually drafted Jayden Daniels #2 overall, passing on both Maye and Williams (who went #1).
