Ben Simmons should just quit playing basketball

I think at this point, Ben Simmons should just quit playing basketball. I think he should quit. I think he just doesn't like it. I think it's pretty obvious that he doesn't like playing basketball... if he doesn't like doing it, he should just quit.

Simmons continued his career with the Nets and later the 76ers, but his career has been marred by lack of availability and decreased performance, though he did not quit.

The Bucks are a lock to win on NBA opening night

Also the Bucks... what if the Bucks are maybe the biggest lock tonight? The rosters coming allly back. You saw that video with Giannis with the jump shot. This is like the greatest basketball player of all time.

The Bucks beat the Nets 127-104 on October 19, 2021.

The Bills will finish as the 1-seed in the AFC despite the Titans loss

The bills will be fine. They have, I think the second easiest or easiest schedule for the rest of the year. So they'll, I still think they'll probably end up with the one seed because they, I mean, even their next three games, the bills play the dolphins, the Jaguars, the jets.

The Bills finished 11-6 and were the 3-seed. The Titans actually took the 1-seed.

LSU is a top-three job in college football and better than USC

LSU is a top three job. I would say in college football... I mean the stat that everyone's keeps throwing out and it is crazy to think the last three coaches at LSU all won national titles... I think [LSU is a better job] because no one competes with LSU now in Louisiana. They don't have the in-state talent. They get to keep.

This is a perennial debate in college football. LSU has continued to recruit at a high level, but USC's hiring of Lincoln Riley briefly swung the momentum. It remains subjective.

The Red Sox are the best team in baseball and will win the World Series

It's just crazy that the red Sox are just going to win the world series again... They're not that good. They're not that good. Oh, but now they're just the best team in baseball. Yeah. They're like killing the Astros.

The Red Sox lost the ALCS to the Houston Astros in 6 games.

The Maple Leafs will finally get over the playoff hump this year

I'm confident that they're going to be able to get over that edge this year... I've doubled down on my four skin challenge where I'm going to double down and you can chop my whole cock off and keep it if that fucking team can't make [a run].

Hot TakeHockeyScorchingSarcastic
The Leafs lost in the first round to the Lightning in 2022. They didn't win a series until 2023.

Alex Ovechkin will pass Wayne Gretzky for the all-time goal record

I think he's going to pass Wayne Gretzky. I do. Cause if the league hasn't figured out how to stop that shot after how many years he's been in there... He can continue to do that for five years, right?

As of early 2024, Ovechkin is closing in on the record and still active, making this highly likely but technically pending.

The Blackhawks will return to the playoff picture this year

I thought they were the most improved team over the off season... Taves took the whole year off he's back. You got Seth Jones and then Fleury... I think the Hawks are back in the playoff picture.

The Blackhawks finished 7th in the Central Division with a 28-42-12 record and missed the playoffs.

The NHL needs to implement a soft cap and luxury tax

I think it's ridiculous the fact that because of all that stuff that some teams got jammed up where they can't even keep the players that they drafted and developed... I think that in that case, maybe they can eliminate that or, or penalize that more. I just feel that if you're drafting and developing players and then you're being punished for it... it seems a little bit contradictory.

This is a policy opinion on sports business and cannot be 'correct' in a factual sense, but the NHL has not yet implemented a luxury tax.

Florida and Colorado will meet in the Stanley Cup Final

Every time I go on a different show, I predict two different teams. Really sad veteran. Let's go with Florida and Colorado.

Colorado made the final and won the Cup. Florida had the best record in the league (Presidents' Trophy) but was swept in the second round by Tampa Bay.
