Duke basketball is entering a major championship window because of Zion Williamson

My cool throne is Duke basketball. So they're back. Zion Williamson, my guy. 6'10", 320 pounds... Dunked from the free throw line. Kyrie, Jason Tatum about to take over for the Celtics. So it's going to be a big, big window for Duke basketball.

Duke reached the Elite Eight with Zion but lost to Michigan State. They did not win a national championship during Zion's one year or the immediate window following.

Paxton Lynch is the worst draft pick of all time

Paxton Lynch is going to totally get off the hook here. People will just forget he existed, but I will not let him off the hook because... Paxton Lynch stinks, and he's going to probably end up making whatever it was, $15 million for being a first-round pick. That guy needs to be like – someone needs to write a book. Paxton Lynch stinks.

Lynch is officially one of the biggest QB busts in Broncos history, failing to start over even mediocre competition before being released.

Swag Kelly is the most talented quarterback on the Denver Broncos roster

Billy Football first reported that [Swag Kelly] is the most talented quarterback on that roster. Yes. And I love kind of the wildcard-ness that Swag brings. His name's Swag Kelly. He is the epitome of a wildcard.

Kelly was released in October 2018 after a trespassing incident and never became a starter in the NFL, while Keenum started the whole season.

Dwight Howard's plan to evolve into Kevin Durant and take jumpers will be a disaster

First one is the entire NBA because Dwight Howard, his trainer, has said that Dwight Howard wants to evolve into Anthony Davis, into Kevin Durant, but his own version of that... So Dwight Howard is going to start taking jumpers, which is going to be hilarious. It's going to be fun watching him try to shoot and take shots from John Wall and Bradley Beal.

Dwight Howard never became a perimeter threat or a 'KD version' of himself. His stint with the Wizards was injury-plagued and short-lived.

Major League Baseball umpires are on the hot seat and we need electronic strike zones

My other hot seat is umps. So Ben Zobrist got tossed in the Cubs-Brewers game today, and on the way out, he said to umpire Phil Cuzzi... That's why we want electronic strike zones. And I think this is going to be the moment where we get this debate going again, and umps are now going to be on the hot seat because they fuck up a couple times a year, like, egregiously.

The debate intensified for years, and while robot umps aren't in MLB yet, the 'Challenge System' and ABS are being tested in the minors and are widely expected to arrive soon.

The Wendy's Spicy Chicken Sandwich is the 'Granddaddy of them all' for chicken sandwiches

I'm going to go with a spicy chicken sandwich at Wendy's. I actually had this listed before Chick-fil-A on my big board. So it's a good value pick for me. I think it's kind of the granddaddy of them all as far as chicken sandwiches go.

Subjective taste preference, though Wendy's Spicy Chicken is a Hall of Fame tier fast food item.

McDonald's fries are the best fast food item

And then for my last pick, McDonald's fries. Can't believe I got that one in the fourth round. I know. I know.

Commonly cited as the gold standard for fast food fries.

The Whataburger Honey Butter Chicken Biscuit is the best breakfast sandwich in America

Big time honorable mention to Whataburger Honey Butter Chicken Biscuit. Yes. Best breakfast sandwich in America. People forget Whataburger, not the best thing on the menu, is not burgers. It's the Honey Butter Chicken Biscuit. And it is incredible.

Highly regarded in food circles, though subjective.

I hate Sam Bradford and Aaron Rodgers most among quarterbacks

Probably most well-known is Sam Bradford because he went number one over me. But Aaron Rodgers is for sure up there. [Bradford]'s a good player. He's obviously done it for many years... but it's always enjoyable to get sacks and interceptions off of him.

Subjective personal feelings of the guest.

Texas should not have had the final second to kick the winning field goal in the 2009 Big 12 Championship

They definitely shouldn't have had an opportunity to kick that field goal. Things happen for a reason... still don't know what that reason is for that particular situation... it was a little controversial to say the least.

The clock hit 0:00 on the broadcast, but officials restored 0:01 after review, allowing Hunter Lawrence to kick the game-winning FG. It remains a point of intense debate in Lincoln.

The firing of Jim Caldwell in Detroit was mind-boggling

That was a funny situation, especially for a guy being so successful and being one of the winningest coaches for the Lions... biased, I'm a huge fan of him. Had a tremendous year underneath him. So a little mind boggling with that situation.

Hindsight has looked kindly on Caldwell, as his replacement Matt Patricia was a disaster and the Lions' winning culture collapsed until Dan Campbell's arrival.

Hiring Scott Frost was a great decision that should have happened three years ago

Great decision. I wanted it to happen three years ago and actually voted for it... I suggested it, for lack of a better word... Scott Frost has the mechanisms and the – I would say he's cut from a good cloth to be able to do it.

Scott Frost went 16-31 at Nebraska and was fired mid-season in 2022, becoming arguably the biggest failure in program history.

James Harden should turn the Scottsdale phone-throwing incident into a cell phone carrier commercial

Dude, every time something like this happens, if you could just figure out a way, if you're James Harden's agent, just create a commercial instantly making fun of this. Do a sprint commercial where you're just grabbing phones out of people's hands, throwing it, then handing them a sprint phone. And everyone would be like, oh, that's funny.

Harden did not do this, though leaning into controversies has become a common strategy for some athletes.

Tiger Woods means more to the sport of golf than any other athlete means to their specific sport

The Tiger effect is very real. I mean, we knew this was going to happen, but it just goes to show, like, I don't think there's ever been someone who's meant more to one specific sport than Tiger Woods to golf.

While subjective, golf ratings with and without Tiger are the most drastic disparity in professional sports broadcasting.

The Central Time Zone is the undisputed best time zone for sports fans

The Central Time Zone is by far the best. The problem with everyone who's like West Coast is the best because 10 a.m. football... 10 a.m. is too early. Noon is objectively the perfect time to start a football game... and Monday night football ends at like 11 o'clock. My ranking of time zones goes Central time, mountain time, west coast, east coast.

Purely subjective, though common among Midwest sports fans.
