Podcasters can do anything now that JJ Redick is the Lakers head coach

JJ Redick is now the coach of the Los Angeles Lakers... my first thought was, it's huge for the podcast community. It is. Us podcasters can do anything. It's important to have representation in the media. So growing up, if you're a kid out there with a podcast, you can look at JJ Redick and say, I too one day can coach the Lakers.

JJ Redick was indeed hired as the Lakers head coach in June 2024.

The Detroit Pistons job is the American Dream because you get paid $60 million not to work

I think that this makes the job opening in Detroit way more attractive. Yeah. Because you can go there for a year, get fired and still get paid for the remaining four or five years that you have on your contract... getting paid money not to work is the American dream. And so that's ultimately the best thing that you wanna be looking for when you're a head coach.

Monty Williams was fired by the Pistons while still being owed roughly $65 million on his contract.

Expanding the NCAA Tournament to 72 or 76 teams is going to suck

The NCAA's trying to move the tournament to an expanded field. This is gonna suck. Yeah. So 72 to 76 team tournament plans is what they're trying to do... 64 teams is perfect. They just don't need to add more bubble teams. You never remember 'em.

The Bulls traded a winning player in Alex Caruso for a losing player in Josh Giddey

I am mad. I continue to be mad at this franchise. They fucking suck Jerry Reinsdorf. All he wants to do is win 40 games... Giddy Caruso. I love Caruso. He's a friend of the show. I love Caruso. This comes down to you traded a winning player in Alex Caruso for a losing player in Josh Giddey.

The trade occurred as described. Whether Giddey is a 'losing player' is a matter of ongoing performance analysis.

The 2024 Celtics are one of the all-time great NBA teams

I mean you, you think about it, you're like, I mean we're one of the all time teams. I'm obviously, I'm biased and so I'm gonna say it, but just you, you think about it like you are just enjoying it... I do think like we are one of those teams and it's the best run.

Statistically, the 2023-24 Celtics had one of the highest net ratings in NBA history, making this a very defensible claim.

Sam Hauser will be the sneaky drunkest person at the Celtics championship parade

So my dad said he is like, I just seen a Reddit post and I was one of the top vote getters [for drunkest at parade]... I mean I could see that. So yeah, I'll probably be up there... And I could see Sam Houser as the sneaky drunkest one. Sam Houser. That's my dark horse.

Footage from the parade on June 21, 2024, showed Sam Hauser in a state of high intoxication, nearly falling off a duck boat, validating the 'sneaky' prediction.

I will be the fastest I've ever been in the NFL this season at age 33

I want to be the fastest I've ever been. So my goal is to lean out, to be as fast as I've ever been. Top end speed, change the direction, and I truly, I think I can do it. I feel great right now... My goal is to be as fast and explosive as I possibly can.

While speed data (Next Gen Stats) could track his top speed, Thielen's age makes achieving a career-best speed statistically unlikely in the twilight of his career.

Kirk Cousins is the most process-driven person I've ever been around

That guy is the most process driven person I've ever been around in my life. It is unbelievable. He does not leave any stone unturned. He does ne he, I mean, he will never not be prepared for a game... he's putting every ounce of time, effort, money into having the most success as a team.

Patrick Mahomes is not the biggest threat on the celebrity golf circuit

I don't think Patrick Mahomes is the biggest threat on the golf course. Oh, okay. On the football field obviously is the biggest, but golf course I think a little different... I know he does have like a real golf hole in his backyard... I just don't see him winning it.

Mahomes finished T82 in the 2024 American Century Championship, while Mardy Fish won. Thielen's assessment was accurate.

I wasn't going to fake a celebration for the cameras just because the Celtics won the championship

I just don't know really. Like I was thinking that what should I do? And I kind of knew that that was gonna be the reaction, but I also wasn't gonna fake it. Like I wasn't gonna drop to my knees and be like, you guys knew you were gonna win after game three.

This is a statement of personal intent and honesty regarding his reaction caught on camera.
