Inside the NBA at ESPN will struggle to maintain its magic if they cut it for SportsCenter

The number one time on our show is after the game. You get like 4 to 5 minutes to shoot the shit. That's the magic. But me and Ernie have talked about it... Are they gonna say 'No guys, y'all got 15 minutes. We gotta go to SportsCenter'?

The transition to ESPN/ABC is scheduled for the 2025-26 season. We will have to see if the format changes.

The Eagles will be really good because they have the best GM in the NFL

Well, they're gonna be really good... Howie Roseman's probably the best GM in the NFL now. They gonna be good.

The Eagles had a bounce-back year in 2024 following a late 2023 collapse, validating the 'really good' claim.

Bill Belichick and the media had a business relationship he only liked when he was winning

You can treat the media how you want to when you win. But you got to understand when you're a loser, they gonna come for you... If you don't understand the business relationship, you need to get another real job.

This is an expert opinion on professional dynamics and media relations.

The only way to win at gambling is to bet money lines on favorites

Gambling on sports is the only way to win. But you have to bet the money line... where you only gonna win cents on the dollar. Because teams always win. They just never cover.

Mathematically, favorites often lose outright, and money lines are priced to ensure a house edge. It's a gambler's fallacy/strategy rather than a verifiable fact.

Toronto is the best city in the world

Toronto's the best city in the world easily. Chicago summers are the second best. Those are my two favorite places in the world.

City rankings are entirely a matter of personal preference.
