The championship window for this Nationals group is closed

I think the window we're talking championship window. It's probably closed on the [Nationals] for this group. ... the Nats are dead. They're done. Put a stake in them. Probably should have traded Bryce Harper.

While Bryce Harper left and the 2018 season was over, the Nationals won the World Series in 2019, proving their window was very much open.

Bryce Harper will be in pinstripes next year

Yeah, there's nothing you can do. So [Bryce Harper] will be in pinstripes next year. Whichever pinstripes, we don't know. Could be Phillies pinstripes.

Bryce Harper signed a massive contract with the Philadelphia Phillies, who wear pinstripes.

Nicki Minaj is rattled and taking a backseat to Cardi B

She's just very rattled. And it's clear that Cardi B's album did better than hers. Cardi B was better at the VMAs. It's just clear that Nicki Minaj is taking a backseat, and she's not happy.

The tires on Post Malone's plane looked fine despite the emergency landing reporting

Are we staying woke on that, guys? ... a lot of people were saying, like, those tires look fine to me when the plane landed. ... those tires – They didn't look bad to me. That's all I'm going to say.

Difficult to verify tire integrity from televised footage vs mechanical reporting.

Paxton Lynch's days in the NFL are numbered

My hot seat is Paxton Lynch. I think I'm just going to put him on my hot seat until he's out of the NFL ... Paxton Lynch, your days are numbered, bucko.

Lynch was cut by the Broncos shortly after this and never became a regular starter in the NFL again.

A rhino is a better version of an African buffalo in a fight

I'm taking a rhino, which is a better version of the African buffalo. ... It's got thicker skin, which is basically armor. It's got the horn.

I am a better athlete now at 34 than I was at 22

I think just to the naked eye, it's not visible that I'm a better athlete, but I am a better athlete, even at my age than I was at 22. ... at 34, like, I feel like I move as well or better than I did at 27. I just can't leap like I used to.

Personal assessment of physical capability; Redick was indeed highly productive in his mid-30s.

College referees are not good and officiating in college ruins the game

College refs ... are god-awful. They're not good in any sort of definition of the word. They're just bad referees. ... they sit a guy down and you get two fouls in five minutes and you basically don't play until the second half. And it ruins the whole game.

Kevin Durant joining the Warriors was a great decision for player autonomy

I like seeing a player ultimately do what he wants to do, what's going to make him happy, even if he pisses a bunch of people off. ... to just take a pay cut to take a pay cut makes zero sense. And no one in any other industry does that.

Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons will be first-team All-NBA players in five years

In five years when I'm done playing, those guys are first team, all NBA players, you know? ... Joe, as good as he is and Ben is as good as he is, are still going to be so much better.

Embiid became an MVP and perennial 1st-team candidate. Simmons made 3rd-team once (2020) but never 1st-team.

Coach K's greatest strength is his adaptability rather than a fixed system

I think [Coach K's] greatest strength ... is his adaptability. Coach K doesn't have a system. He's never had a system. ... he coaches every team differently. He coaches every player differently.

It is way too soon for Baker Mayfield to be doing underwear commercials

I think this is way too soon for Baker Mayfield. ... I actually think he's going to be a good quarterback, but it's still the Browns. You still have to win a couple games. Otherwise, this all is going to look ridiculous.

The Cleveland Browns are going to win the AFC North

I'm just going to lean into my own stupidity and say I think the Browns are going to win the division. I'm with Hank now.

The Browns finished 7-8-1 in 2018, finishing third in the AFC North. The Ravens won the division.
