The next Syracuse head coach should be forced to run the 2-3 zone in perpetuity

I hope whoever the next coach is at Syracuse, they should just have to run the zone forever. That should be Boeheim's legacy. Like I will retire, but you have to run my zone in, in perpetuity for the next hundred years.

Syracuse's next coach, Adrian Autry, did initially state he would use the zone less, and they transitioned toward more man-to-man defense.

Rick Pitino was hired by St. John's University shortly after this episode aired.

Villanova will beat Creighton 72-60

Nova 72. Creighton 60.

Creighton defeated Villanova 87-74 in the Big East quarterfinals on March 9th (taped late), so Max was wrong on the winner and the margin.

Aaron Rodgers might retire just to prove he doesn't need the $59 million

The more I think about it, the more he might retire just so that he could have the Trump card on everybody to be like, yeah, I'm the motherfucker who walked away from 59 million. Like, like that's his credibility... I think that Aaron might actually retire just so that he can have that moral high ground for the rest of his career.

Aaron Rodgers did not retire; he was traded to the New York Jets and accepted a restructured contract.

NFL owners are colluding to prevent Lamar Jackson from getting a fully guaranteed contract

I think it's less about you need an agent and the collusion is more about the fact of nobody wants to pay him a guaranteed contract. Like the owners are so pissed off about the Deshaun Watson deal. Yes. And they know that Lamar wants a fully guaranteed contract. So I think if, if collusion is happening and there's like, there's a good chance that the owners are colluding on this, it's just to the point we're not gonna give this guy anybody else guaranteed five year deal.

While several teams publicly bowed out of the Lamar sweepstakes simultaneously (which the NFLPA investigated as collusion), Lamar eventually signed a five-year, $260M deal with $185M guaranteed — not fully guaranteed like Watson's.

Expecting to fail is the secret to life

It's actually the secret to life. Expect, expect to fail. And then if you don't totally fail, that's like a huge victory.

This is an inherently subjective piece of philosophical advice.

Zach Wilson's physical ceiling is Patrick Mahomes

Ceiling is Patrick Mahomes. Ceiling. Physically, they can make the same throws. Physically. They may not do it at the right times, or as accurately, but he can do the same thing.

Zach Wilson's career continued to decline, leading to his benching and eventual trade to the Broncos, never approaching Mahomes' level of play.

I am fully buying in on Justin Fields in fantasy football next season

I am probably, if you guys allow me to manage your team again next season, I'm definitely gonna take whoever is wide receiver one in Chicago... I'm buying in on Justin. I hope Justin is their guy. I love Justin Fields.

Justin Fields had a polarizing 2023 season; he was a solid fantasy asset when healthy but was eventually traded after the season as the Bears drafted Caleb Williams.

I will only draft running quarterbacks for the rest of my life

I promise you also, I will only draft you. I don't care how early I have to draft them. I will only for the, for the rest of time tale. As old as time. I will only draft a quarterback that is a running quarterback.

This is a subjective strategy, though generally regarded as the most effective high-upside play in modern fantasy football.
