Russell Wilson's trade to the Broncos is a bigger story than Aaron Rodgers staying in Green Bay

I think Russell Wilson is the bigger story. Russell Wilson is definitely the bigger story because [Aaron] Rogers staying in at the Packers was kind of expected. Ish. Russell Wilson go to the Broncos is like, whoa.

Subjective comparison of story weight, but Wilson's trade was indeed a more significant roster shift than Rodgers' status quo.

The Broncos won the Russell Wilson trade because they finally got a franchise quarterback

I think that the Broncos won this trade because they've got a quarterback... I do like it for the Broncos though, honestly, if I, I do think that Russell Wilson is one of the quarterbacks that can take any team and turn them into like an instant contender.

The Broncos finished 5-12 in Wilson's first year and he was eventually cut after two disappointing seasons, while the Seahawks made the playoffs with Geno Smith.

The AFC West is the best division in football with the addition of Russell Wilson

I've seen more of people saying like, look how stack this division is. I agree. And Derek Carr is like, Def actually is probably the biggest God division and football right now.

While the Chiefs remained dominant, the other three teams struggled with consistency or internal dysfunction (Broncos/Raiders).

The Broncos and Seahawks combined will have fewer than three playoff appearances in the next five years

How many playoff appearances will the Broncos and the Seahawks have combined in the next five years? I guess see extra, a little different timeline now... Okay [three times] yeah, because it's got a good defense.

As of 2024, Seattle has 1 appearance (2022) and Denver has 0. They need 2 more combined in the next few years to hit the mark.

Aaron Rodgers' new contract with the Packers is a bust if he doesn't win three of the next four Super Bowls

I think that if Aaron Rogers doesn't win three out of the four next Superbowl's, this contract is kind of a bust. If it is, if it is 50 million, if he is the highest paid player in the history of the NFL... you would assume that the highest paid player ever would also be a player capable of leading you to dynasty.

Rodgers played only one more full season in Green Bay (missing the playoffs) before being traded to the Jets. He won zero Super Bowls on that contract.

The NFL's TV audience would drop by half if all gambling and fantasy football were erased

If you took away gambling, if you made, if you had a button where all gambling, everything like illegal legal was just a race. No one could bet on anything. What do you think the NFL's TV audience would do? Half? Yeah, probably about half. It would be crazy.

Impossible to verify empirically, but a widely held belief in the sports media industry.

Coach K is the best coach I ever played for across all levels

The five greatest current 'basketball geniuses' in the NBA are Draymond Green, Chris Paul, LeBron James, Rajon Rondo, and Ja Morant

I'll give you the top five, top five. Okay. So [Draymond], Chris [Paul], LeBron, Rajon Rondo. And I'm gonna, I'm going to go with the guy that Draymond mentioned on the pod and that's Ja Morant. I think Ja Morant's... already a basketball genius.

Kevin Durant is also a basketball genius because of his obsession with the game

Yeah, he is. He is. A lot of guys that are basketball geniuses... they are obsessed with basketball and they watch basketball... I think [Durant] out of anyone in the NBA right now, I think he loves basketball more than anyone.

The Miami Heat are the best and most complete team in the Eastern Conference

I think the Miami Heat to me are the best team in the East... To me the most complete team to me, and again, this is health dependent... I think the Heat is the team to me, health aside where I'm like that team has the least amount of question marks.

The Heat earned the 1-seed but lost to the Celtics in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Finals. Redick was close but ultimately incorrect as they didn't win the East.

Ben Simmons is actually right-handed but shoots left-handed

I've told Ben that [he's right-handed]... he disagrees with me, but when I watch him, right. He does it with his right hand. If I asked him to throw, he would do it with his right hand... I think he's a right-hand person that shoots the basketball left-hand.

Simmons continues to identify as left-handed and shoot with his left, though the 'shooting with the wrong hand' theory remains popular among analysts.

The Phoenix Suns will win the Western Conference

Who's winning the West... Phoenix. Phoenix is... Phoenix, Phoenix. There's I, there's more wild cards to me in the East and there aren't in the West.

The Suns lost to the Mavericks in the second round of the playoffs.

Alcohol is a diuretic because it flushes liquid out of your body faster than you can hydrate

Al calls a diuretic. And why it dehydrates you is because it flushes all the liquid in your body, out through your piss. So even though it may seem like it's hydrated... It gets all your liquid out faster.

Scientifically correct, alcohol inhibits the hormone vasopressin which tells the kidneys to reabsorb water, leading to increased urination and dehydration.
