Recap
The US was the better hockey team because they won the game
There's a lot of cope that I would also like to get to. The US was actually the better team today. I just wanna get ahead of that. People are saying that Canada was the best team today. That's actually not true because the United States won the game. If you win the game, you are the better team that day. That's pretty much as definitive as it gets.
Hockey is only America's fourth most important sport and we still beat Canada
I choose to win with class. Does it hurt for Canada that I graciously said hockey is our fourth like the fourth sport we're best at? We're football, baseball, basketball... and then hockey. I love hockey, but it's our fourth most important sport. And Canada, Canada's everything. And we fucking beat you. And we have the gold.
Olympic coaches should receive medals along with the athletes
Did you know that the coaches don't get medals? That's bullshit. Bizarre. [PFT: They get the stuffed animal though.] Oh man. [Big Cat:] Could you imagine being a Canadian and that is your sport and it's everything... and then afterwards they're like, 'Hey, here's a Labu Booo.'
The Michigan loss to Duke was not that bad
I actually walked away being like, I don't think that was that bad of a loss for Michigan. And the fact that they shot absolute dog shit. And if they just shoot a little bit better, they probably win that game.
I'm predicting Houston will lose at Kansas on Big Monday
I'm going to be timing the Cougars by the way. I'm expecting that they lose at Kansas.
Florida is a great value bet at 12-to-1 to win the national championship
I just think Florida, they have been just awesome... I think they're still about 13 to one. If you wanna hop on just saying Florida, 12 to one.
The NFL Tush Push is not in danger of being eliminated
The tush push is not in danger of being eliminated, I don't think. It sounds like they're not proceeding with any votes to get it out.
Who Is Back
Peptides are the play for weight loss and health in 2026
Through some limited extensive research, I think part of my peptides might be the play. All the hot people online are just like, 'these are what you need to do. Take these peptides, you'll lose a bunch of weight.'
Interview
Connor Hellebuyck is the best goalie in the world
Connor Hellebuyck just saying, 'Hey boys, hop on my back. I got this for you. Just jump on in and ride me to this fucking gold medal.' It's incredible. We had the best goalie in the world and our defense is way better than Canada... I don't care if he gave up 50 goals before that game, the way he played that game, he should have won MVP.
Connor McDavid's specialty is winning individual MVPs while losing championships
Connor McDavid winning MVP of the entire Olympics in another losing effort. That's just what he does now. It is funny that this is now twice McDavid has won MVP in a losing effort. That's his thing. That is officially his thing. Anytime I play in a big game, I'm gonna be the best player. Not that I'm gonna win it, but the best player out there.
This gold medal win will have the same impact on US hockey growth as the 1980 Miracle on Ice
The 1980 Olympic gold medal meant so much for guys like me as an American hockey player to be able to live out your dream. This game right now, what it meant to the world... there's going to be a lot of parents who bring their kid down to the local rink and sign them up because I watched that game. I truly believe it is more than a game for what it can mean for a sport.
Natural luge is a cooler spectator sport than traditional Olympic luge
Italy does natural luge... which you gotta look that up if you haven't seen that. It's like real sledding, but they go on ice through the woods. It's like F1 on a mountain. We're kind of happy that people haven't realized how cool natural luge is because there's a little bit bigger of crashes.
