Paying a running back is never worth it

Tell me when paying running back is worth it. It's never worth it. It sounds like a good idea at the time. And if you're a new head coach, this is such a new head coach move... it's like ordering shots of Jagermeister. Well, sounds good. And then later on it's like having sex raw dog. It's good in the moment. Nine months later you're like, 'fuck, I definitely should have done that.'

Historically, teams that pay running backs huge contracts rarely win Super Bowls during those contracts (e.g., Ezekiel Elliott, Todd Gurley).

Aaron Rodgers is the fourth greatest quarterback of all time

My number four [is] Aaron Rodgers. Aaron Rodgers is the best quarterback that I've ever seen in terms of like the throws he can make, everything that they can do. In his prime, like those four, five, six years, the Packers were never out of a game.

Subjective ranking of greatness.

Dan Marino was Patrick Mahomes before Patrick Mahomes

Dan Marino had five years where he led the league in passing... he was like Patrick Mahomes before Patrick Mahomes. When you talking about his second year in the league when he had 48 touchdowns in 1984... which is fucking ridiculous.

Statistically, Marino's 1984 season was as much of an outlier as Mahomes' 2018 season.

Ben Roethlisberger is a top 6 quarterback of all time

Number six: Big Ben Roethlisberger. He has twice as many Super Bowls as Aaron Rodgers.

Ranking Roethlisberger over legends like Manning or Favre is highly controversial.

Digging up old draft prospect tweets is the lamest thing you can do

I actually think there's nothing lamer than plotting ahead and trying to fuck up the biggest night of somebody's life because they had some weird tweets... if you're 13 and you're not tweeting out crazy stuff, you're not taking enough chances.

The 49ers and Bears saved lives by not winning the Super Bowl or drafting Mahomes

My cool throne is the Niners because they saved lives by not winning the Super Bowl... the Bears saved all the lives by not drafting Mahomes because it was funny. Chicago would never celebrate anything ever. Tear down the Jordan statue.

The statement is a joke, but technically true that a parade didn't happen in those cities.

I would not have a spot in today's NBA

No, not at all. I would probably be playing overseas... I'm glad I came along when I did. nowadays, if you assume that you gotta have a 40 inch vertical, you gotta be able to run the floor like a gazelle. No way I would have been able to keep up with the pace.

Perkins' style as a traditional, non-shooting big man has largely been phased out of the modern NBA.

The NBA will not return to finish the 2019-20 season

Now I've come to the conclusion... I honestly don't see the NBA coming back. It's going to be hard... I couldn't see myself leaving my family right now to go and play in an isolated area in the bubble.

The NBA successfully returned in the Orlando Bubble in July 2020.

Rudy Gobert is essentially a savior for forcing the world to take COVID-19 seriously

Rudy was kind of like a bad guy, but he was almost like a savior... he possibly saved some lives by doing an immature act because after the incident, the NBA led the charge and shut down sports. From there it was a spiral where everyone else was like, 'it's time to shut down the world.'

While controversial, it is a historical fact that the NBA's shutdown was a major catalyst for other US institutions following suit.

Mark Jackson deserves more credit than Steve Kerr for the Warriors dynasty

Mark Jackson built that coach over there. Mark Jackson is on record calling the Splash Brothers the Splash Brothers. He's on record talking noise saying 'I got the best two shooters in the world.' Steve Kerr just happened to see the stroke go right.

While Jackson laid groundwork, Kerr's offensive overhaul is widely credited by the players and analysts for unlocking their championship ceiling.

Russell Westbrook is the greatest Thunder player ever, even if KD was the best

Russell Westbrook was the greatest Thunder ever. I didn't say he was the best player to ever play for the Thunder... the greatest is like a person who held it down... put up some great numbers. When you hear the name Thunder, you think of this person. Katie [Durant] left the door open.

Common debate in sports; Westbrook stayed while Durant left, leading many OKC fans to agree.

Kevin Durant will win MVP next year

I actually think [Kevin Durant] is going to win the MVP next year on top of it... with him going to the Nets, I think it's going to be his team. It is his team.

Nikola Jokic won the 2020-21 MVP. Durant played well but did not win the award.

The Lakers would have won the title this year if the season continued

The Lakers [would have won]. They were peaking at the right time. LeBron was on his way of challenging Giannis in my eyes to winning the MVP. They have the best duo in the league since Kobe and Shaq in Anthony Davis and LeBron James.

The Lakers did eventually win the 2020 NBA Championship in the Bubble.

Old school NBA coaches are becoming extinct

It's a different type of it's not like old school no more. Like these old school coaches are coming extinct. It's a player's league. You got to have coaches that's going to understand the players... I almost think that Gregg Popovich's time is almost, you know, he's done a great job, but maybe it's time for new change.

The Spurs struggled in the years following this take, though Popovich remains a respected figure.

Church is one of the worst places to be drunk

My number one, I'll go with... Church. If you just like taking sacrament too many times, blood of Jesus. You're the biggest lightweight of all time and you're an embarrassment.
