The NBA first round this year has been far superior to the NHL first round

The NBA first round this year has been far superior to the NHL first round. I know there's been a lot of overtime games, but like you said, there's no Game 7s. And the NBA feels like... last year was really bad. This year, there have been some really compelling stories, and we have a lot of fights going on.

This is a subjective opinion comparing two different sports seasons.

Steve Kerr's back issues were caused by inhaling LeBron James' pre-game chalk dust

I'm pointing the finger again at LeBron James for Steve Kerr's issues. LeBron James gets up before every game and throws some unknown substance into the air. Guess who's closer than anybody else to that situation? That dust that he's thrown. Steve Kerr.

Steve Kerr's back issues were medical complications from surgery, not LeBron James' pre-game routine.

A sports dynasty requires at least three championships in one era

The rule I said, I threw out there was you have to have at least three championships in your Dynasty era. Two, that's a really good team. Three, you can now claim Dynasty.

The definition of a dynasty is inherently subjective and varies by sport and analyst.

The 1990s Atlanta Braves are a dynasty with an asterisk

The exception to this rule is if you play in a conference that you dominate for a long time but then keep getting your ass kicked in the finals. So I'll give you an example. I would say the Atlanta Braves 1990s team is a dynasty with an asterisk on it.

Subjective historical analysis of a specific era of MLB.

Alexander Ovechkin drinks Coca-Cola on the bench instead of Gatorade

So instead of drinking Gatorade on the sidelines, he just drinks Coca-Cola. ... So he's in the training room and they're like, hey, do you want painkillers? Do you want a shot? He's like, give me Coke. Give me Coca-Cola.

Ovechkin has frequently been documented drinking Coca-Cola on the bench during NHL games.

NFL mock drafts 5.0 and 6.0 are entirely made of smokescreens

When mock draft 5.0 and 6.0s are coming out, those are actually all smokescreens, too, because all the NFL personnel people that talk to the guys doing the mock drafts, they're telling them lies the whole time.

It's a common belief in sports media that teams use mock drafts to hide their true intentions, but impossible to prove for all instances.

I was a better prospect than the players drafted ahead of me in the 2005 NFL Draft

I saw guys coming off the board in front of me that i knew i was better than and i got upset and i was pissed. ... first-round talent on the field. Undrafted baggage off the field.

This is a subjective self-assessment of talent versus draft position.

Turf toe is the worst injury you can ever have

I'll say this turf toe is the worst injury you can ever have in your life.

This is an obvious hyperbolic opinion; many injuries are medically more severe than turf toe.

Pregnancy is technically a performance enhancing drug for athletes

Serena Williams how she got pregnant and how being pregnant is technically a performance enhancing drug because she has more blood in her system because she's not on the dot anymore and since she has more blood she's got more red blood cells which means she's circulating oxygen at a higher rate.

While pregnancy does increase blood volume, it is not classified as a PED by any sporting agency and brings significant physical challenges.

One hour of Facebook use per day leads to worse mental health

Harvard Business Review published a study, and they said that everyone who uses one hour or more of Facebook per day has markedly worse mental health in their life, which is why I don't use Facebook anymore.

Numerous studies, including those published or discussed in Harvard Business Review around that time, have linked heavy social media use to negative mental health outcomes.
