I'm officially canceling Russell Westbrook

I've canceled Russell Westbrook. He's canceled. He's done. I, white girl, can't even with him anymore. Dude, you know how lame you have to be to get owned by Mitt Romney? I mean, and Mitt Romney owned him. He showed him how many fouls he had.

Subjective 'canceling' for comedic effect, but reflects a peak period of Westbrook-criticism in the media.

The Thunder are trash and are not legitimate competitors

I'm done with anyone talking about the Thunder. I said this pre-playoffs. I called this. I said they are trash, and I do not want to hear about the Thunder being any kind of, like, even close to a competitor.

The Thunder lost in the first round (4-2) to the Utah Jazz shortly after this episode.

The Washington Capitals are better this year because they are actually worse than last year

The Washington Capitals, they are better this year because they're actually worse than they were last year, okay? ... The fact that the Capitals are not as good, they're not as deep... It means that they're winning ugly is what I'm getting at. ... we've tried being by far the best team talent-wise. That hasn't worked. So let's give it a shot being a little bit shittier than them.

Incredibly, the 2018 Capitals finally beat the Penguins and won their first Stanley Cup this season, proving PFT's bizarre logic correct in outcome.

John Elway falls in love with any quarterback he sees in person

I think John Elway's problem is that he just loves every quarterback. As a former quarterback, he will love you if he sees you, where if you wear a football, if you throw a football in front of him, he's like, I'm in love with this guy. He's awesome.

Elway's difficulty finding a franchise QB post-Manning is well-documented in NFL history.

Colin Cowherd's theory of Manalytics is actually real

The theory behind it that the regular season doesn't matter and the playoffs get a lot harder and your flashy PER and how you score at such an insane pace in the middle of December, that doesn't matter in the playoffs. ... It sucks that we can't mock manalytics because it actually makes sense. ... manalytics are real.

While 'Manalytics' is a parody-worthy term, the concept of playoff intensity differing from the regular season is widely accepted in sports.

Josh Rosen's concussion history is a major red flag for NFL teams

My biggest concern with Josh Rosen is – He had two concussions last year where he missed games, right? ... What we know about brain injuries now— If that guy, after he gets drafted third by the Jets, let's say, and it's $30 million guaranteed ... if he gets a concussion in September... I would be – there's a big risk there.

While Rosen's career was derailed by poor situations and talent, his concussion history remained a frequent talking point among scouts throughout his draft process.

Quentin Nelson is the best player in the 2018 NFL Draft

I think the best player in the draft is Quentin Nelson, but I'm a biased O-line lover. ... He's a guy at night before I go to bed, I might put on some Quentin Nelson highlights just to watch him.

Quentin Nelson became an immediate All-Pro and is widely considered one of the best draft picks of that era.

Josh Rosen will fall further in the draft than people think

I'm going to go with Rosen to fall. Really? I think Darnold goes one. I think maybe some Barkley or a quarterback at two. I think Mayfield at three. I think [Rosen] ends up falling faster than people think.

Rosen fell to #10 (Arizona Cardinals) while other QBs like Mayfield (#1), Darnold (#3), and Allen (#7) went before him.

Derrius Guice will be a better NFL running back than Saquon Barkley

I have a hot take for you. I think the best running back in the draft is [Derrius] Guice. ... Two years ago, I thought Guice was going to be the better NFL prospect than Leonard Fournette, and Fournette had a great rookie season. I still think Guice is going to be better than him.

Saquon Barkley won Rookie of the Year and had multiple 1,000-yard seasons. Derrius Guice's career was marred by injuries and off-field issues, never reaching Barkley's level.

NFL offensive line play is getting worse every year

I wouldn't take a quarterback moving forward that couldn't [extend the play] because O-line play is starting to deteriorate. All these colleges, they get less time with the guys. NFL, the new CBA, they get less time with the guys. And the O-line play in the league as a whole is getting worse and worse every year.

This is a widely debated but common sentiment among NFL analysts and former players due to reduced practice time in the post-2011 CBA.

The Cleveland Browns will draft Sam Darnold with the first pick

I think the Browns are going to take Sam Darnold. I think so, too. And I think it's going to be the biggest mistake of their life. I think it's going to haunt them for the next 12 months.

The Browns surprised many by drafting Baker Mayfield #1 overall; Darnold went #3 to the Jets.
