The Golden State Warriors might be done after losing Game 1 to the Celtics

I actually believe that... the rest, you know, they're done. Yeah. They might be done. I think they might be done when they're done. I think they might be done. I really do think the way they lost this and the fact that the Celtics, like I know that they're their shot-making... what the Celtics can rely on and what they do better than anyone else is, they locked down on defense.

The Warriors were far from done; they won the series 4-2, winning three straight games to close it out.

The Warriors are dead

I think right now it's too early to do the thing that we all want to do, which we kind of like, we dipped our toe in earlier and said the warriors are dead. Fuck it. I'm just going to say it after game one, the warriors are dead.

The Warriors won the championship, making this peak 'incorrect' in the funniest way possible.

Aaron Rodgers is absolutely miserable to be around

I did have multiple tweets from unbiased people saying that Aaron Rodgers is absolutely miserable to be around because he, he was the least talking above the group. He was surly. He was Aaron Rodgers... Aaron Rodgers is just, he just went for a paycheck, fucking shark.

This is a subjective opinion on personality.

Everyone should hate their fantasy sports commissioner

I contend like everyone should hate their commissioner. That's the role of the commissioner. So I think that like Mike trout, if he's the commissioner he had to know this day was coming, that he was gonna get shit on for not running a tighter ship.

This is a philosophical take on fantasy sports culture.

Grant Williams is the key X-factor for the Celtics if the Warriors go small

I would say the two people... I mentioned Grant Williams, I think Grant Williams... he's going to be key because the Warriors just force everyone to play small... If he plays well, like he did in the Milwaukee series where he hit eight threes, 93, whatever it was, then, you know, Boston's going to be a problem.

Grant Williams struggled for much of the Finals, averaging only 5.2 points per game and losing minutes as the series progressed.

Milwaukee would have won the East and reached the Finals if Khris Middleton was healthy

I think that Milwaukee was the best team this year. If they would have had Middleton, they'd be in final right now.

While logically sound given the 7-game series, it's ultimately an unprovable hypothetical.

If Steph Curry wins Finals MVP, he is a better basketball player than LeBron James

If Steph Curry wins an NBA finals MVP this year, I'm ready to be the first person to [say] that he's better than LeBron James purely at basketball.

Steph won FMVP, but the majority of analysts still rank LeBron significantly higher all-time. It's an opinion.

The Warriors will win the NBA Finals in 7 games with an overtime finale

I'm going to [say] warriors in seven in an overtime game seven. Wow.

The Warriors won in 6 games, not 7, and there was no overtime.

Scousers never tap out in a fight

Bitches. Scousers don't tap... I'm like a fucking salmon going upstream. [I blacked out] and I look up [at] me coach and I staff coming rounds. And I go, I didn't get the top. I didn't stop. I didn't stop. I promise you it didn't stop.

Historically, Molly McCann has a reputation for refusing to tap, as evidenced by her loss to Robertson.

I will transition from MMA to professional boxing after my UFC career

And I was just saying today on the bay when I move over to box and after I finish MMA... A hundred percent. Yeah. I've just always had it in me. I would always come back... if I ever have [achieved what I can in MMA], I'm ready for boxing.

Molly is still currently active in the UFC (as of 2024), so the transition is pending.

Sneezing in public is one of the most taboo and awkward things you can do

Sneezing in public has gotta be like the most awkward... oh it's so taboo now. And it always was taboo with it's really when you're driving, I think it's super dangerous... But there's nothing you can do. Like you can try to hold it in. But when you have allergies... there's nothing.

Subjective social commentary.

Ryan Fitzpatrick will return from retirement halfway through the 2022 season

Ryan Fitzpatrick just retired. Ah, damn. He'll be back. Yeah. That's not a real retirement. No chance. Halfway through the season, somebody gets hurt. [He'll be] back. No chance.

Fitzpatrick stayed retired and moved into broadcasting.
