The Murray State Racers are the worst team in the country

I wish someone had told me that Murray State Racers were the worst team in the country. Oh, did they? Fuck you. Oh man, they fucked me bad.

Murray State finished with a KenPom ranking of 199 out of 362, making them roughly average, not the worst.

Tennessee and Houston are my two picks to win the NCAA Tournament

I'm heavily leveraged in the Volunteers this year. I think Tennessee and Houston are my two picks.

Both teams failed to win the title. Houston lost in the Sweet 16 and Tennessee lost in the Elite 8. UConn won the tournament.

Dalton Knecht might get shoved around by physical teams in March

Watching him play last night, I was thinking to myself like, I could see [Dalton Knecht] getting shoved around in March. I could see like a physical team just like, whoa, Houston putting the, yes, exactly. I could see a tough team like Houston, Kelvin Sampson being like, go out there and beat the fuck outta the skinny guy.

Knecht actually performed well in March, scoring 37 points in the Elite 8 loss to Purdue, showing he could handle physicality.

The Buffalo Bills need new players who haven't been scarred by losses to Patrick Mahomes

I almost feel like the, the bills could deal with just getting new blood in there that haven't been around for the heartbreaks. Because you carry that baggage with you. If you're a player on that team, if you're a coach on that team, every time you have a heartbreaking loss to Joe Burrow or to Patrick Mahomes. Especially Patrick Mahomes, you kind of, that's a scar that you keep with you for a long time.

This is subjective, but the Bills did lean into a youth movement in 2024 following these veteran cuts.

I'm fully in on Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul because Tyson can knock anyone out at any moment

I'm in on this fight. Mike Tyson, one of the most ferocious boxers of all time, could knock anyone out at any moment. And that's how you sell fights. I'm in no matter what and it's free.

The fight was postponed and eventually happened in November 2024. Tyson did not knock out Paul; Paul won via unanimous decision in a relatively tame fight.

Caleb Williams is the correct pick at number one for any NFL team

Caleb Williams is the right pick to make at number one right now. Right? If the chiefs had had number two in that 2017 draft, they would've probably taken Patrick Mahomes. I don't know if there's another team that if they had number one would taken anyone but Caleb Williams.

Williams was indeed the consensus #1 and was drafted there by the Bears. His career success is pending.

Boobs are officially back in pop culture

I told you Sydney Sweeney has done it. I think boobs are back guys. Yeah. That, that picture all time... Sydney Sweeney has done it.

This is a subjective cultural observation.

Mike Vrabel is the #9 Patriot of all time

My player... is Mike Vrabel. Great linebacker for a long time. Great pass catcher, legendary touchdowns. Great dude. He is number nine. Top 10 of all time.

Purely subjective team ranking.

I'm betting $100,000 total against the Oakland Athletics this season

I think I'm gonna bet a hundred thousand dollars total against either the Athletics or the Chicago White Sox every single game this season... officially decided I'm betting a hundred thousand dollars against the Athletics.

The A's went 69-93. While bad, they covered the run line often enough that a blind 162-game bet might not have been hugely profitable depending on juice. However, as they were terrible, the 'vibe' was correct.

LeBron James provided the blueprint for NBA sustainability and professionalism

Every single day of every minute of the day, I was with LeBron James. He showed me how to do everything the right way... Be different. That foundation he gave me with the Miami Heat is probably why I'm sustainable now.

Subjective personal experience.

LeBron James isn't that special because he merely lived up to the expectations we set

LeBron's actually not that special because we kind of called it... he just kind of lived up to his expectations. He was the chosen one. He didn't do anything that we didn't predict. We were right, man.

The take is satirical, but literally LeBron has exceeded almost every possible expectation, making this 'incorrect' as a literal claim.

I guarantee the Bucks have a chance to compete for a championship this year

I guarantee a chance to compete for a championship [with the Bucks]. Yes. It's the only answer.

The Bucks were the 3-seed in the East but were eliminated in the first round by the Indiana Pacers. While they 'competed', they were not close to the title.

70% of big men in the NBA do not actually love basketball

50% of the NBA are guys that don't love basketball... Let's raise that number to 70 then for the big guys. 70% of the big guys... it's forced upon you because you're seven feet. Something wrong happened in your life [if you didn't play basketball at that height].

This is an unprovable claim about the internal motivations of athletes.
