The NBA should adopt tackle rules and change point scoring to mimic the NFL

The NBA needs to learn a lot about sports from the NFL namely like allow tackling and that sort of thing... make your goals worth three points. Make penalty kicks worth two. Boom. It's very easy to do. And you get the illusion of higher scoring.

The NBA did not adopt tackling or three-point goals in place of field goals.

Jameson Williams might be cursed

Jameson Williams might be cursed because if you remember, he's already out for six games for gambling and now he's out [for the preseason]... he missed most of last year. They were using the preseason to try to get him reps... Now he's out again. He might be cursed.

Williams had a rough start but eventually became a key contributor to a successful Lions team in late 2023 and 2024.

Donald Trump weighs 255 pounds

I think he's 255. Like a linebacker. He's a Hoss. He's basically Brian Cushing.

Trump's self-reported weight at the Fulton County jail shortly after this was 215 pounds, though it was widely debated.

It would be crazy if I didn't get a Ryder Cup pick

I've been in the getting a pick category this whole time. I felt like last week, last week solidified it. Where now I think it would be crazy if I didn't.

Homa was indeed selected for the 2023 US Ryder Cup team.

Pitch me on Cal coming to the Big 10... would you like a couple easy wins? You like to expand your fan base to the West coast... we could help you guys change your name to Big 10 to big however many actual teams there are.

Cal ultimately joined the ACC, not the Big 10.

The new Commanders ownership will make a difference and win a championship

I'm extremely excited for this team, this new ownership group because Josh Harris is a guy. He's all about the community... anytime you integrate those core pieces... they're going to make a difference within that organization. [They're trying to win a championship].

While the organization improved, they did not win a championship in their first season, but the culture shift is subjective.

Fans are usually wrong when they criticize NFL play calling

A lot of times you get fans talk about play calling. Why didn't coach call this play? But they don't understand like it's all situational... It depends on what they're lining up in... certain plays that we plan for, we can't really run and practice. And then the fans... might be looking at a play totally different than the offensive coordinator.

This is a subjective take on fan knowledge versus coaching expertise.

Johnny Bananas is the GOAT of The Challenge

The answer's Johnny Bananas, that is the goat... as much as I love CT, he doesn't have the longevity that Johnny Bananas does. and he didn't have the mental game.

Lamar Jackson will win a championship in the next three years

Lamar Jackson's gonna win the championship if he can still win between now and the next three years.

As of the current date, Lamar has not won a Super Bowl, but the three-year window remains open.

The Washington Commanders secondary will surprise everyone this season

I think the Washington Commanders secondary is gonna surprise everyone.

The Commanders defense was statistically the worst in the NFL in 2023, allowing the most passing yards and touchdowns.
