No one in the world was beating Baylor in the National Championship game

No one in the world was beating Baylor on Monday night. And I think that we spent all year talking about how great Gonzaga was, rightfully so, because they were undefeated. But the real debate now is, is Baylor an all-time great team? Because they destroyed everyone in the tournament.

Baylor won 86-70 in a game that was rarely close, validating this take.

Gonzaga should absolutely play in a real conference

Well, you should play in a real conference. You should absolutely play in a real conference. Yes, I'm going to say that with my chest. And yeah, a lot of it has to do with the fact that there aren't a ton of Gonzaga fans out there. It's not like we're talking shit about the Steelers... With Gonzaga, it's like free play. Consequence free zone.

This is a subjective debate about conference strength, though Gonzaga moved to the Pac-12 in 2024, showing they eventually agreed they needed a change.

Drew Timmy has no choice but to return to college after his bad championship performance

Here's something nice for Gonzaga fans. Drew Timmy played so bad in the championship game. He has no choice but to come back to college.

Drew Timme did return to Gonzaga for the 2021-22 and 2022-23 seasons.

If a player scores while committing a charge, the basket should still count

To fix the charge rule, because this is one of those things where there's so many and it's kind of annoying where it's like there's too many charges. They should make it so that if you score, it counts. No matter what.

This is a subjective proposal for a rule change that has not been implemented.

Gonzaga will never win a National Title

So, all right, to put a bow on it, Gonzaga will never win a title. I mean, they didn't play against a single ranked team in the entire year of 2021... The WCC is a – it's Mickey Mouse. That's right. It is a Mickey Mouse league.

As of 2024, Gonzaga still has not won a National Championship.

Both the Jets and Panthers will finish the season 9-8 after the Sam Darnold trade

Both teams finished this trade 9-8. That's really what it comes down to.

In 2021, the Panthers went 5-12 and the Jets went 4-13. Neither came close to 9-8.

If Sam Darnold never gets mono, his career would have been completely different

My question is, does Sam Darnold get traded from the Jets if he never gets mono? Is that the sliding door moment of Sam Darnold's entire life? I actually kind of think it is... If he never gets mono, is he something different? And I actually kind of think yes.

This is a hypothetical 'sliding doors' scenario that cannot be definitively proven.

Every team Kevin Durant joins becomes 'whack'

Every team KD goes to, he makes them whack, you know? I love the Warriors. The Warriors were cool. They had their thing going. And then KD showed up to the party and was like, wait, guys, include me. And then I hated the Warriors. And then, you know, he went to the Nets. And now they're like, you know... If they don't win the championship, they're so whack.

This is a subjective fan opinion about the 'coolness' or competitive merit of teams.

You must eat only white cheese if you want to live to 100

I had a cab driver once from LaGuardia who was like, if you want to live to 100, you got to eat only white cheese. He's like, the minute you eat yellow cheese, you're going to kill yourself... He said it was such authority that I was like, damn. He must be right.

Fact ClaimFoodMildSarcastic
There is no medical evidence that the color of cheese correlates with living to 100.

The cancelation of Barstool Van Talk saved their lives

We would all be super mega rich film stars or dead. Dead. That's my go-to answer when everyone, if anybody asks me a question like that, it's like, yeah, I would have died within six months. We did it for fucking seven days and I was pooping blood.

This is a subjective assessment of personal health and stress levels.

Aaron Rodgers is the perfect fit to host Jeopardy!

I do think that this is the perfect fit for Aaron Rodgers. I think it's everything that he loves. I watched Jeopardy a lot, and it features mustaches heavily, and it features the host who gets to know the answers to everything and feel smarter than everybody else, which is exactly in Aaron Rodgers' name.

Rodgers did guest host, but the show eventually moved to Ken Jennings and Mayim Bialik. Whether he was a 'perfect fit' is subjective.

LeBron James never would have won the 2020 title if fans were in the stands

LeBron. Because he never would have won a title if there were fans. Seriously.

This is a non-verifiable hypothetical about the impact of the COVID bubble environment.

The Masters is the best 'come down' from the stress of March Madness

There's nothing better, though, than the Masters come down from the March Madness. It is really the greatest... Like set up because it's high impact, high stress sports watching for three, four weeks. And then you get the most low impact, good on your knees, napping on the couch in and out the best type of sports watching.

This is a subjective feeling about the sports viewing experience.
