It is officially the Washington Capitals' year to win the Stanley Cup

It is Wednesday, March 1st, and it is the Caps year... I'm even more irrationally confident now [after the Kevin Shattenkirk trade].

The Capitals lost in the second round of the 2017 playoffs to the Penguins. They didn't win the Cup until 2018.

The Kirk Cousins franchise tag is a sign the Redskins still don't know if he's good

In Kirk Cousins' case, it's just a big sign that says, do we know if Kirk Cousins is good yet? No, we don't know.

Washington eventually let him walk in free agency to the Vikings, proving they never committed to him as a long-term franchise guy.

Kirk Cousins is the best quarterback that sucks

I think Kirk Cousins will perpetually be, is he good or not? Yes, he is the best quarterback that sucks.

Cousins has maintained a high statistical floor while often struggling in high-pressure playoff moments, making this an eternal debate.

The Chicago Bears are a total dumpster fire for failing to retain drafted players

If Alshon does go get signed by another team... you ready for the list of Bears players on the roster that were drafted before 2013? Okay, that was the full list... Just make sure all your draft picks fail miserably... what a dumpster fire.

The Bears remained poor for several years and Jeffrey indeed won a Super Bowl immediately after leaving.

Female orgasms and the G-spot do not actually exist

Raven told Nick that her ex-boyfriend never gave her an orgasm. That's because orgasms don't exist for chicks. Oh, yeah. The old G-spot? ... That's the, hey, you know the Loch Ness Monster and Sasquatch in the G-spot?

Concussions are a private family matter and the government should stay out of it

Whether or not a kid has a concussion, that's a private matter. That's a family matter. It's nobody's business. Handle it behind closed doors. Keep your government Dr. Obamacare death panel hands off my son. I'm going to be the one to tell whether or not he's seeing double.

Clearly a satirical position; medically, concussions are serious injuries that require professional oversight, not just 'family discussion'.

The five-foul rule in college basketball is the dumbest rule in sports

Also, hot seat, the foul, five fouls in college. Everyone gets mad about that, including myself. I hate that rule. I think it's the dumbest thing ever.

Purely a subjective opinion on game rules.

The new Big East is the best league because it's a pure basketball league

It's the best league in college basketball. Those other leagues now, I think, are football leagues. And we are a pure basketball league.

The Big East has remained a top-tier basketball conference despite no football, supporting his claim.

The New York Knicks are the NBA team I would coach (kidding)

[What NBA team would you coach?] The Knicks. Madison Square Garden. But we're kidding, of course, because I don't want to leave.

Wright never coached in the NBA, retiring from Villanova in 2022.

Adrian Peterson's NFL career is basically over

I think Adrian Peterson's career is... it's pretty much a career for him... he hitting his kid with a switch... he doesn't catch the ball that often. He doesn't run the ball out of shotgun. This isn't the NFL for him.

Peterson played for 5 more teams but only had one more 1,000-yard season (2018). He was never a top-tier back again.

Tim Tebow hitting home runs in batting practice proves he's a star

Is that an all-time record for home runs in batting practice? ... can he go deep? That's the question. ... He hit four home runs in five pitches. So there you go.

Tebow never made it to the Major Leagues, proving BP power doesn't translate to MLB success.

Paul Pierce was a loser before Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen arrived

Draymond came over the top today and said, people tend to forget that [Pierce] was struggling to get to the playoffs. He was on the trade block every year, then all of a sudden Ray Allen and KG showed up. Let's not forget that.

Pierce did have some early success (2002 ECF), but the team was 24-58 the year before the trades.
