Chet Holmgren is very good but he looks like he will get eaten alive by real men in the paint

Chet Holmgren... is like the skinniest dude ever. And people get really mad because... your reaction is going to be, I actually would like to see you do, this is like this guy's, this guy's going to be soft when he plays against real men... he is really fucking good... but it's impossible to watch him once and not be like, oh, he's going to get eaten alive.

Holmgren has been an elite defender in the NBA, though his frame remains a talking point; he hasn't been 'eaten alive' in the way predicted.

If Odell Beckham Jr. does not get hurt, the Rams win the Super Bowl by 10 points

I also think if you want to do a, what if I, what if, what if Odell Beckham doesn't get hurt? Did the Rams run by 10? Like they were looking back at that game. They had three drives or it might've been four drives two punts, two touchdowns. But the two touchdowns were very easy. One Soto [Odell] Beckham goes out. They don't, they don't do anything until that last drive.

Subjective 'what if' scenario about an injury in a completed game.

The Bengals are not guaranteed to return to the Super Bowl due to the elite competition in the AFC

I do find it kind of interesting how everybody's like the bangles are gonna be back here for sure... just say that out loud to yourself... given like, whew, who's in the AFC right now. I, if you, if we said bet, you have to bet next decade. The Bengals go to X amount of Superbowls... over one and a half, you'd take the under all that all day. And that's, it's not disrespectful to the bangles... because the chiefs are that good. The bills are looking that good, sir. Herbert, it looks great. Lamar Jackson got forgotten about.

The Bengals have reached the AFC Championship since this take but have not returned to the Super Bowl as of 2024.

Matthew Stafford will eventually be a Hall of Famer based on his career passing stats

I'm not saying that. I think that Matt Safford is like an incredible hall of fame quarterback. I've my, my statement has simply been that he will, his career will be there by the end... mass, Sanford's going to end up like top six all time and passing. So, and he's also going to, no, one's saying that he's right now, if he retired, he would be a hall of Famer... My argument was always under the assumption that he plays until he's, I don't know, like 38, 39.

Stafford is still active; his HOF status will be determined after retirement.

Sean McVay should retire and join ESPN's Monday Night Football for more money and fewer hours

I'm going with the ESPN Monday night crew on the hot seat because supposedly if McVay wants out, ESPN wants him in for Monday night football. Tony Romo makes 18 million... Why would he want to work? Like 100th of the amount of hours and time and stress for, for more money? Yeah. I, I think that's a pretty good deal.

McVay did not retire and stayed with the Rams.

Coach K blocked Tommy Amaker from the Duke head coaching job to protect Jon Scheyer's career

There's a report coming out a new book that Tommy Amaker was going to be named next head coach of duke... and coach K got on a zoom with them and essentially said, I can't have you taking this job because that would set John shier back in his career. So we want you to take your name out of consideration and out of respect for coach K Tommy Amaker realized that this job search thing was apparently he had been offered the job already until coach K stepped in.

The book 'Coach K: The Rise and Reign of Mike Krzyzewski' by Ian O'Connor indeed reported this specific interference.

Kyler Murray leads the league in nonsense

All of this nonsense is not what I'm about. Never has been, never will be... All that says it, all, all of this nonsense that I, that I directly caused is I'm not. And you can make the case that this is just more nonsense, correct? I think Kyler Murray leads the league in nonsense.

Subjective categorization of Murray's public persona and career drama.

I was fined $10,000 for jokingly saying I checked my phone at halftime

I jokingly said I checked my phone at halftime of the Baltimore game and it NFL took it as a real saying and find me $10,000. Why aren't you allowed [to have a phone]? It's just one of those things where, yeah. I'm not allowed to have my phone on me at all 90 minutes before the game or during halftime.

Watt confirmed the fine happened due to his comments on a previous podcast appearance.

I could last a two-minute shift in the NHL and score a goal by crashing the net

If we threw you out there, could you last a shift in the NHL? It's like two minutes, right? Yeah. I think I got that. I mean, yeah. I mean, for fighting for 30 seconds of this shift... maybe just crash the net, just get in front of them that, yeah. Push the goalie around and see, who's got the goalies back. It's a playoff goal.

While Watt is an elite athlete, the skill gap between an NFL player and an NHL player is massive; this is likely physically impossible but fun to debate.

I could record two points and a rebound in an NBA game

That was the thing on the, on the team plane home one year or one flight, we said, I can get you two points in, in a rebound in NBA game. You could? Yeah, I think I could, but rebound, the rebound would be tough.

Subjective/untestable without a contract, though Watt's athleticism makes it more plausible than the average person.

Relationships built entirely on fitness and distance running are not built to last

Relationships built off fitness. I don't think are built to last because at some point, yeah, you're going to be out of shape. Well, and then you both have to be fitness freaks and then make tick talks together about like meal prep and shit.

Subjective life advice.
