The Rams are a basketball team playing football

The Los Angeles Rams are like a basketball team playing football... They're soft. They're a basketball team playing football. We know all their names and they'll be... like it's fantasy football.

Subjective comparison of team culture/style.

The Rams are officially overrated and no longer a top-three NFC team

I'm officially moving the Rams off of a team that I feel strongly about... I am officially taking the Rams out of my [top three]. Cardinals are better than the Rams right now... I am officially taking them away from my top three teams in the NFC.

The Rams won the Super Bowl that season, proving Big Cat's 'moving them off' take definitively wrong.

Falling asleep after masturbating in a hotel room is the best feeling ever

Falling asleep after jacking off in a hotel room is maybe the best feeling ever... Most middle-aged men would look at that as the best vacation.

Notre Dame will sneak into the playoff over Cincinnati

Notre Dame [is] sneaky and over Cincinnati, which I would be the most wrong thing of all time, but also would be the funniest thing of all time.

Cincinnati actually made history by becoming the first Group of Five team to make the Playoff. Notre Dame finished #5.

LeBron James is an absolute fraud for how he handled the Alex Caruso departure

Last night was a perfect encapsulation of how LeBron is just an absolute fraud. The story came out that the Lakers basically asked Caruso to take less money... LeBron is the GM. Everyone knows this... then it's all over him hugging them on social media like 'love you bro'.

This is a subjective opinion on LeBron's character and management style.

Giannis Antetokounmpo might leave the Bucks in two years for a new challenge

Yannis is already planting the seeds to maybe leave Milwaukee... He said 'one challenge was to bring a championship here and we did.'... He said 'in two years that might change. I'm being totally honest with you.'

Giannis signed a 3-year extension in 2023, keeping him in Milwaukee past the 2-year window mentioned.

Coach K should retire immediately over his grandson's DWI

Coach K [should] retire right now if he had any backbone and stood for anything that he says that he stands for. You can't have this... Step down right now. Institutional chaos before someone gets hurt.

Coach K finished the season as planned and retired after the 2022 tournament loss to UNC.

Mac Jones is the Grayson Allen of the NFL

Mac Jones is sort of gotten the, some people are calling them the Grayson Allen of the NFL... Because he's a tripper.

The Packers will win the Super Bowl this year

I'm worried, I think the Packers are actually going to win the Super Bowl this year... I'm saying that they have looked the best team in the NFL this year... The defense is Super Bowl level at this point.

The Packers were the #1 seed but lost at home in the Divisional Round to the 49ers.

The Packers are a lock to win the Super Bowl

The Packers are locked to win the Super Bowl. I win all my locks... I'm going to know better than one to know game of the year. It's a lock.

The Packers lost in the Divisional Round.

Returning to Pitt for a fifth year was a business decision to become a first-round pick

That was the reason I came back. The whole goal was to be able to win a championship and come back and go in that first round... Peyton Manning had given me some advice... everything I was hearing was round four or five... I just wanted to bet on myself.

Kenny Pickett was drafted 20th overall in the 1st round by the Steelers in 2022.

Pitt's bad home field turf is a competitive advantage

I think the field is an advantage. I think teams come in, I always watch them in warm ups, walk every inch of the field... it's just not a great surface and you just gotta play... I think it definitely gets in their heads.

Subjective claim about opponent mentality.
