The Chiefs are going to win the Super Bowl again

They're gonna win the Super Bowl again. Just accept it... what's gonna end up happening is the Chiefs now with the one seed, their second round game is going to be a team that they will kill and then they will play one game to get to the Super Bowl... and then it's Patrick Mahomes in the Super Bowl.

The 2024 NFL season is ongoing. The outcome of Super Bowl LIX is pending.

The Steelers are frauds and not serious Super Bowl contenders

I'm so happy that I didn't always go all the way in on the Steelers. I always was one foot in, one foot out because that team is a fraud... they're nowhere near the top five teams in the NFL and that's what you judge it on. Especially in a town like Pittsburgh. They're just not to be taken seriously in the AFC playoffs.

Whether a team is a 'fraud' is subjective, but their playoff performance will eventually validate or invalidate this.

The 76ers are back and Caleb Martin is a 'Celtics killer'

Sixers are back. Everyone knows the NBA starts on Christmas... Caleb Martin might be the Celtic killer. That might be the difference... He has been horrendous this year and all of a sudden shows up on Christmas Day goes seven of nine from three and just buries every single shot against the [Celtics].

The Sixers' playoff success and Martin's performance against Boston will determine if they are 'back'.

The Panthers will cover +8 against the Buccaneers

I'll take the Panthers plus eight... I think the Panthers are live in this game... full on like the Panthers and the Cowboys are the two teams that stink but are playing actually good ball in the last month and feels like they're just ready to play spoiler.

Check the score of Panthers vs Bucs in Week 17 (Dec 29, 2024).

I will read one entire book in 2025

I'm also gonna read a book. I haven't read a book in a decade. I'm gonna read a book... read with my two eyes. It might take me the entire year. I'm going to fucking do it. I feel it.

Big Cat will need to confirm he finished a book by the end of 2025.

The Maple Leafs current roster is the best they have had in 20 years

I would say this is the best lineup the [Maple Leafs] have had in the last 15, 20 years. Very solid backend. They're getting incredible goaltending... Their Core Four, all the guys making all the big dough [Matthews, Marner, Tavares, Nylander] are buzzing.

Inherently subjective comparison of roster quality over decades.

Spencer Carberry is the frontrunner for the Jack Adams Award

Probably the biggest surprise so far this year has been the Washington Capitals... I would have to say [Spencer] Carberry the coach. He, he, he's the front runner for the Jack Adams. He just is such a modern day coach.

Outcome depends on the NHL awards ceremony in June 2025.

Kirill Kaprizov is a top three MVP candidate

Minnesota, Kirill the Thrill [Kaprizov]... Probably a top three candidate for MVP right now. And just an unreal player to watch where every game, game in, game out, shift in, shift out, he has must-watch television.

The Hart Trophy finalists will determine if this is correct.

Speakeasies should be illegal to be authentic

I don't think that there should be speakeasies unless they're actually like illegal places where you can like smoke inside and like, it's against the law. That's what a speakeasy should be... It's stolen valor. If I look at your wall and you have your health department grade on the wall, [it's not a speakeasy].

This is a matter of personal bar philosophy.

Pour-your-own-beer bars are a terrible trend

Another trend that I fucking hate bars I can't stand... the bars that have the like pour your own beers. I hate that shit... The whole point of going to a bar is have someone like, you get to sit down... you feel like you're playing laser tag or some shit. Sucks.

Subjective opinion on hospitality trends.
