You can tell a lot about a guy by the sunglasses he wears

This is an all-time guy who wears Oakley sunglasses move. He's a big-time Oakley... you can tell a lot about a guy by the sunglasses he wears. If you wear Costa sunglasses, you go deep-sea fishing twice a year. You probably have a DUI in Florida. If you wear Shady Rays, you're cool. And then if you're an Oakley guy, you probably send dick pics during child support meetings.

This is a subjective stereotyping take about fashion and behavior.

Patrick Mahomes will pass the concussion protocol and play in the AFC Championship

I'm ready to say that I think that he [Mahomes] will pass the concussion protocol test at the end of the week.

Mahomes did clear protocol and started the AFC Championship game against the Buffalo Bills.

The Buffalo Bills are capable of blowing out the Kansas City Chiefs

I said the Bills could blow out the Chiefs. I guess I should have just phrased it the lame way and been like, it's a coin flip game... I'm saying a blowout wouldn't surprise me either way. People think that the Bills blowing out the Chiefs would be some shocking result, but to me it wouldn't be because I think both these teams are so fucking good that if either shows up with their A-plus game, they will blow out the opponents.

The Chiefs won the game 38-24. While the score was somewhat competitive, the Bills never came close to blowing out the Chiefs; the Chiefs were in control for most of the second half.

Kyrie Irving is the Tom DeLonge of the Brooklyn Nets

I think it's like Blink-182. I think that Kevin Durant and James Harden are Mark and Travis, and then obviously Kyrie's Tom. And then he's off somewhere studying aliens. And then he's going to get pushed off to the side eventually.

While the Nets 'Big Three' did eventually implode with all players being traded, Kyrie was the first major source of friction (refusal to vaccinate, trade requests), fitting the Tom DeLonge 'alien/outsider' exit comparison well.

Novak Djokovic is a scumbag for his selfish COVID restriction requests

Australian Open, Australia has COVID under control... Djokovic sent in basically his own list of requests and suggestions on how they can actually do a better job with COVID... His suggestions were to basically lessen the restrictions, make it easier. Basically, he was selfish.

Djokovic's requests were widely panned by the Australian public and government officials at the time.

The dysfunction in the Houston Texans' front office involves things too bad for television

Dan Orlovsky was talking about the Texans GM mess... and he said that it's worse than is being reported... and it's so bad I can't say it on television... How bad could it get that you can't say it on television? ... Is it satanic orgies?

While the Texans were notoriously poorly run during the Easterby era, there were never verified reports of 'murders' or 'satanic orgies'.

I am okay with moving the Elite Eight and Sweet Sixteen to Saturday through Tuesday

I do actually like that. They're the Sweet 16 and Elite Eight. Sweet 16 is Saturday, Sunday, Elite Eight, Monday, Tuesday. I'm okay with that because Elite Eight is, it's weird when you have the Elite Eight on that Saturday and Sunday and you're like, wait, there's only two games... Whereas now you'll work all day Monday and then you get basketball at the end of the day.

This is a personal preference on sports scheduling.

Jimmy Butler is a great teammate and the media perception of him is wrong

Jimmy Butler is a great teammate. I don't understand the media twist on what he is... he challenges people and he pushes people, and a lot of people aren't willing or wanting to maybe hear that. But in reality, it's just trying to achieve success... He's certainly had a huge impact on my career.

Butler's success in Miami, leading them to multiple Finals appearances, largely validated this 'culture' argument over the previous 'cancer' narrative.

NBA officials might respect me more if I had a tattoo sleeve

I've thought that [getting tattoos]... from just a respect standpoint, you know, like whether it be officials or the opposition... particularly like in the playoffs, I got targeted a lot on defense. I figured maybe that would happen a little bit less if I had some [tattoos] on me.

This is an unprovable psychological claim about referee bias.

Part of My Take is the undisputed number one podcast

Bangers. No matter what. That's just a fact. Pardon My Take is number one... We don't brag because, you know what, when you get to a point where you just don't have to brag because the people know. The real people know. Don't let everyone else try to tell you some other story. Just know what it is and how it's been for basically five years.

PMT consistently ranks at the top of the Apple Sports charts, though 'number one' overall depends on the week and platform.
