The sports void will feel better once the usual March Madness window passes

I think it will get better after two weeks when we aren't in the March Madness Zone, but Thursday morning. I'm going to need you all to text me and check in check in with your friends, because that's going to be a tough one for me to wake up.

The 'sports void' didn't really get better in two weeks; it arguably got worse as people realized the long-term nature of the pandemic, though the initial sting of missing the tournament did fade.

Bored NFL owners and GMs will make crazy trades during the quarantine

I predict that just out of sheer boredom from some of these owners and GMs, they're going to be some crazy trades that happen. They're just going to happen because the other owners and the other GMs are just like we need some action going on. I'm bored. Let's fucking pick up the phone and make some weird Arrangements.

The DeAndre Hopkins trade to the Cardinals happened on March 16, 2020, the same day this released, and was considered one of the 'craziest' trades in recent history.

Odell Beckham Jr. would have been the Rudy Gobert of the NFL regarding coronavirus

Actually Odell Beckham like he we talked about Rudy Gobert on Friday, but he definitely would have been the Rudy Gobert of NFL. He would have caught a touchdown and put on a mask and gloves and then like wait, where'd you get that? Like, I actually I just got it from like the training staff who got it from a hospital. Whoops. Now, I have coronavirus.

This is a subjective character comparison that cannot be strictly proven, although OBJ did not have a 'Gobert' moment.

Ryan Tannehill is effectively on a two-year franchise tag deal with the Titans

It's essentially they've they've franchise tagged Ryan Tannehill for two years right on this and probably saved a little bit of money right on a two-year franchise tag. So it's not bad because Tannehill, you know, he is who he is.

The contract was 4 years, $118M but $62M was fully guaranteed, meaning the Titans could move on after two seasons, effectively making it a two-year commitment.

The 49ers would win the Super Bowl if they had Tom Brady

I think you probably win the Super Bowl with Tom Brady [on the 49ers].

Since Brady never joined the 49ers, this remains a subjective hypothetical. Brady did win the Super Bowl with the Bucs the following year, supporting the idea he could still lead a team to a ring.

Game of Thrones Season 8 was so bad that no one will rewatch it even during quarantine

I tweeted that the 8th season was so insultingly bad that people about to be locked in their houses for weeks on end and no one's going to rewatch Game of Thrones.

Data from HBO and streaming analytics actually showed Game of Thrones remained one of the most-watched shows during the 2020 lockdowns, despite the backlash to the ending.

Breaking Bad is the best show of all time

I did the same thing that you did with Game of Thrones with Breaking Bad and I'm never really watched that show ever... it's the best show of all time.

This is inherently subjective.

Rick Pitino will be coaching at a Power 5 school within three years

I own a fancy. Yeah, damn Rick and so he is ready to get mean he's going to be in a power 5 school in within three years too.

Three years later (2023), Pitino was hired by St. John's. While St. John's is in the Big East—a 'high-major' basketball conference—it is not technically a 'Power 5' school (a term usually reserved for the football-centric P5 conferences like the ACC, SEC, Big Ten, etc.). However, it is a return to a major conference.

Tom Brady should be signed by the Patriots for $30-31 million

I think you want to be paid content up there 30 31 and it's right. I know I think it's about time. You don't want money pays for what? He's already done though, and guys that's putting but I don't think for the next three years two years at least you still got a top-10 quarterback by it's the one guy who doesn't operate like that Belichick is the one coach... but he's you should absolutely sign them to that.

The Patriots did not sign him. Brady signed with Tampa Bay for $25M per year with incentives, less than the $30M Glazer suggested.

There is a 50% chance Tom Brady stays with the Patriots

I am 50 percent chance he stayed... I don't know yet... I don't know yet. Just throw it out. No, I'm not gonna do that.

Brady announced he was leaving the Patriots on March 17, 2020, the day after this aired.

Dak Prescott will not hit free agency

Do you think Jack's [Dak's] gonna hit free agency? No, come on. You're okay. No, no chance.

The Cowboys applied the franchise tag to Dak Prescott on March 16, 2020, keeping him from free agency.

David Blaine is the alpha in a room full of action stars

The alpha where yes... David Blaine obviously David Blaine is the alpha... it helped the Cheetos [Pacino] going. I gotta go to my therapist... This was like the most surreal shit I've ever done in my life.

This is a subjective observation of social dynamics.

Barnett and Amber from Love Is Blind will not work as a couple

I want to talk about Barnett because Barnett... he's a fuccboi the very distant definition of fuck boy and he's found his girl in Amber Who is the very definition of a hot mess. So you got a fuccboi in a hot mess. And those are two Unstoppable forces that are just going to rub up against each other until they get into a fight. Right. So that relationship is not going to work.

As of 2024, Barnett and Amber are still married, making them one of the most successful couples in the show's history.

Cameron and Lauren are the only normal couple on Love Is Blind

My favorite couple by far is Cameron. And what's her name? Lauren? Lauren Lauren. They're the most like hey. They're pretty normal as camera know is he's a weirdo born. He's a little to have your notice like every time they walk he like is way too close to her.

Widely accepted by fans and their continued marriage supports their 'normalcy' and success.
