Aaron Rodgers might move to Ecuador and go off the grid entirely

I think there's something telling me that [Rodgers] might just go off the grid entirely. Like Aaron Rodgers might just not show up on a football field ever again. He might move to Ecuador and go live out in the rainforest with Shailene Woodley.

Aaron Rodgers continued playing for the Packers and later the Jets, never moving to an Ecuadorian rainforest.

A 12-team playoff will make the college football regular season matter more

The regular season, people will say, oh, the regular season doesn't matter as much. No, I think the regular season matters more because it used to be if you have one game that you lose, you're out. Now the game's at the end of the season. Teams jockeying for those conference title games, for higher seating. It all matters.

The 12-team playoff was eventually adopted and launched in 2024, confirming the move happened as discussed.

The Nets are a legit super team and are asserting dominance even without James Harden

I think the Nets are a legit super team. These guys are missing James Harden... and they are still crushing it with Kevin Durant, who has snapped back into pre-injury form. When Joe Harris, the best catch-and-shoot guy in the league, is your fourth option, man, you're a super team.

The Nets eventually lost to the Bucks in 7 games after injuries to Kyrie Irving and James Harden limited their 'super team' potential.

Don't bet against Kawhi Leonard in the playoffs

The last thing I'll say is don't bet against Kawhi Leonard in the playoffs. This dude came down from 2-0 in that first round series with one of the all time performances... he's really doing stuff that nobody else is doing.

Kawhi Leonard suffered a partially torn ACL in the very next series (Game 4 against the Jazz), ending his playoff run.

The Brooklyn Nets are the best team in the NBA right now

They look like they're going to certainly come out of the East... they've coalesced at the exact right time and are playing, to my view, the best basketball in the league right now.

While they played great, they did not win the championship or the conference, losing in the second round.

The 2017 Warriors were better than the 2021 Nets because of defense

I don't think so. Those Warriors teams... were defensive juggernauts and offensive juggernauts. I'll take pre-injury KD over post-injury KD... and I'll take Steph over Harden by a narrow margin.

This is a subjective historical comparison, but generally favored by analysts due to the Warriors' defensive metrics.

The Nets could win the title if every starter had to score the exact same amount of points every game

I really think they could do it... they're all running plays for Joe Harris in the third quarter. I think they could probably do that. That's how good they are.

This is a satirical hypothetical that was never attempted.

Car dealerships are all bullshit and haven't changed in years

The car dealerships have never changed. They advertise what they do, but it's all bullshit... I really believe if I went into one of these dealerships, not so much that I could sell cars, but I could show them what the fuck is wrong with what you're doing.

This is a subjective personal opinion based on his experiences.

Bryson DeChambeau has a weak legal case for 'mental harm' regarding the 'Brooksy' chants

I think, you know, it's like any case that there is, I think it's a weak case that he has... How does he prove his damages? Does he go and see a doctor and say, doctor, because of these assholes in Pardon My Take, I can't play anymore?

No legal action was ever successfully taken against the show for the chants.
