The Celtics are a way better team than the Mavericks

The Celtics are up two. Oh, congratulations Hank. Thank you. Your team is so much better than the Mavs. Yeah, they are. They are a way better team. It's great, great team win. It's not even really close.

The Celtics eventually won the series 4-1, proving they were significantly better.

Kyrie Irving has gotten too mature and needs to 'get weird' to break his slump

Somebody needs to like snap Kyrie [Irving] out of this. 'Cause we've been talking, we've been glazing Kyrie a lot, these playoffs talking about how mature he is gotten... Has Kyrie gotten too mature? Yeah. Is a question we should be asking. I want to hear like the Kyrie hatred for Boston.

Kyrie continued to struggle in the series, losing every game in Boston. Whether 'getting weird' would have helped is subjective.

Jayson Tatum was 'terrified' to shoot in Game 2

Jayson Tatum just needs to play horrible. That's all I care about. The biggest He sucks. You guys were sucking his dick. He sucked tonight. I mean, he didn't suck. He's terrified. He was terrified to shoot the ball tonight. He's shooting his spin back. It is weird. He had open looks at the rim and then he would just pass out every time.

While Tatum's shooting percentage was low (27.3%), calling him 'terrified' is an editorialized opinion of his mindset.

Playing in the MLB London Series means you won't win the World Series

Haven't every single team that's lost a London game has not won, gone on to win the World Series. I think that's a fact. That's a fact. Right. Playing in the London series means you won't win the World Series.

The Phillies (who played in the 2024 London Series) did not win the World Series, but the 2019 Nationals won the World Series despite there being a London series (though they didn't play in it). The 2024 World Series was won by the Dodgers, who didn't play in London.

Caitlin Clark was left off the Olympic team because USA Basketball didn't want to deal with the media frenzy

I think there's a a, a pretty big percentage of the reason why she's [Caitlin Clark] not on the team is just because they didn't wanna deal with all the bullshit of people coming out with takes about Caitlin Clark every single day, which is the dumbest reason ever.

USA Basketball selection committee members cited 'basketball experience' and 'chemistry' as reasons, which somewhat aligns with avoiding the media 'circus' her presence would bring.

Dan Hurley will stay at UConn and turn down the Lakers

I think he [Dan Hurley] is going to stay at Yukon. The fact that it's taken this long and that he made an announcement... It feels to me like it's gonna be a hype video. I'm back.

Dan Hurley announced later that day that he was turning down the Lakers to stay at UConn.

Bryson DeChambeau will win the U.S. Open as an homage to Payne Stewart

I think this is it for Bryson [DeChambeau]. If Bryson comes and wears, because remember he used to wear the scaly cap. Payne Stewart. I could see it happening. As a homage to Payne Stewart. I'll call my shot right now.

Bryson DeChambeau won the 2024 U.S. Open at Pinehurst.

Success in broadcasting is a combination of luck and constant preparation

Luck a hundred percent. A lot of life is being right place, right time... But like certain people tend to be lucky because they're constantly prepared. They're constantly ready for that moment. And then all of a sudden that right moment does flip and it clicks... All you can do is be good.

This is an expert opinion on career success, which is inherently subjective.

An NFL broadcaster could call an NBA game more easily than vice versa

I think an NFL broadcaster could broadcast an NBA game with more understanding and clarity than vice versa. Because it's too—offenses are too complicated. Defense is too complicated. The NFL, you know, 'cause you got, 'cause remember like in football, every play is an individual story... I just think there's more need and space to fill in more like football lingo and talk that than there is maybe in a ever, you know, a constant flowing basketball game that you could kind of fake it a little bit more.

This is a subjective comparison of the technical demands of two different broadcasting roles.

Travis Kelce will be the greatest tight end of all time if he produces for two more years

Kelsey's [Travis Kelce] production and longevity is now getting into that like Tony Gonzalez era... I think Kelsey becomes the first one who enters into that. You know, maybe even more than like, I mean Gronk was on that trajectory, maybe just didn't play long enough... If he has that thousand yard ish production another year or two... I think he becomes the first one who enters into that [GOAT status].

Kelce is still playing, so the outcome of his next two years is pending.

Vanny Woodhead's repair is a Spring 2025 project

I think you think that Vanny needs like new tires? No, you're thinking like you want Xzibit to walk in. We also need a new engine. Vanny needs new wiring. Vanny needs literally everything. It doesn't work. No, this is is Spring 25 project. One year from now. Vanny Woodhead is gonna be rocking.

Vanny Woodhead's restoration progress is ongoing as of late 2024.
