Adding UConn to the Big 12 would make it the greatest college basketball conference ever

The UConn Huskies are seems like they're trying to get into the Big 12... it also would make the Big 12 the greatest college basketball conference of all time. because it would, now you'd have Kansas, you'd have UConn, you'd have Arizona, like Cincinnati. It'd be just crazy college basketball.

UConn has not joined the Big 12. Conference expansion discussions were paused, and as of February 2026, UConn remains in the Big East. The Big 12 commissioner halted expansion discussions.

Hassan Reddick will eventually report to the Jets because of Matthew Judon's contract situation

Positive. He's [Hassan Reddick] gonna come. No, he's gonna come. He'll get hard. He'll come... Matthew Judon is helping him come. He said today he that he wants to show off for the Falcons so he could earn his contract. Hassan Reddick just needs to show up and he'll get that contract.

Reddick eventually ended his holdout and reported to the Jets in late October 2024.

My cool throne is Dricus du Plessis winning a fight. Coming back out of nowhere. Coming, waking up from the dead... now he's got the world in front of him.

DDP did win the fight and remains a dominant champion in the division.

Angel Reese. Yeah. Angel. I love Angel Reese. I think she has like Rodman level rebounding. I fucking love her. If I had to [vote Rookie of the Year], yeah. She'll be a 20 and 10 every day.

Caitlin Clark ultimately won the 2024 WNBA Rookie of the Year award in a nearly unanimous vote.

Lauri Markkanen is not worth $200 million

They just gave Lauri Markkanen a five year, 200 plus million dollar contract... He's not worth that much money. I'd pay him 35 [million].

Contract value is subjective, though Markkanen is an All-Star. It remains a matter of opinion.

The Sherrone Moore NCAA text deletion scandal won't be a big deal in a week

He [Sherrone Moore] deleted a couple text messages in regard to Connor Stalions and his possible knowledge on the situation... 52 text messages... I don't think anyone's gonna talk about this in a week from now.

The news did remain a major talking point throughout the 2024 season and into the release of the Stalions documentary, so it didn't disappear in a week.

Chocolate milk comes from brown cows

I thought chocolate milk came from brown cows... I was up north driving past a brown cow and I pointed to my cousin, I said, you know, chocolate milk comes from those things.

Chocolate milk is white milk with cocoa/sugar added; the cow's color is irrelevant.

I would rather buy new clothes than walk through a spider-infested hallway to do laundry

I have to share that laundry room with three other units... there's spiders all the way up and down the wall... I'm afraid to go down there... So I bought new clothes, bought just essential stuff.

Huey confirms this is his actual current lifestyle choice.

WNBA Finals will be the third most-watched sport in the fall

The finals of the WNBA specifically will have the third most ratings in the fall. So behind college football and the NFL. There needs to be a third place. And WNBA finals will surpass the NBA opening, will surpass the NHL and it'll be the third most watched sport. It'll battle the World Series and it will be three.

The WNBA Finals set viewership records (averaging 1.6M viewers, up 115% from 2023), but it's unclear if it definitively surpassed the World Series and NHL as the third most-watched sport. It was competitive with but likely did not clearly beat the World Series ratings.

The WNBA's momentum will be killed by its four-week Olympic break

My Hot Seat, coincidentally... The WNBA. They won't be playing basketball for four weeks. So imagine if, like the 1988 dunk contest. It was incredible. And then the NBA just didn't happen for four weeks. All the momentum they've gained, just nothing's gonna happen.

Despite the break, the WNBA saw record-breaking viewership and attendance figures for the remainder of the 2024 season and playoffs.

Arikke Ogunbowale and the rookie class proved Team USA made a mistake leaving them off the Olympic roster

Arikke [Ogunbowale]... 34 points, six assists, eight from 13 from three. And she should have been on the team, very much should have been. [Caitlin Clark] got picked up full court by Kelsey Plum, face guarded her, and still got past her and threw a dime. Team USA like took it personally.

The WNBA Team did beat Team USA 117-109, and Ogunbowale set a scoring record, lending factual weight to the opinion.

I'm 'too fat' to go by Matt, so use Matthew instead

I'd prefer Matthew. I think I'm a little too fat for Matt. I think Matt's, you know, last six months, they've probably gotten laid.

This is a subjective personal preference.

Macomb High School football will win the Michigan state title this year

I'm from Detroit... Macomb... a high school. We got a lot of cougars out there. 'cause that's our high school name. Oh, the football team will win state this year. That's the goal. Every year... Do it. You're gonna be in it for rude awakening.

This will be determined at the conclusion of the 2024 high school football season.

LeBron James is only the 10th best basketball player in the world right now

We're gonna start with number 10. The old man himself. The man who's done it before and he'll do it again. LeBron James.

Kyrie Irving is the best ball handler in the world

Number eight, a guy who arguably maybe shouldn't be on this list... but he's probably the best ball handler in the world. Magical. Some say Kyrie Irving.

Ball handling skill is a subjective assessment of technique and effectiveness.

Victor Wembanyama will be the best player in the world by the time he is 25

By the time this man can rent a vehicle, he will be the best player in the world. [At age 25]. So we got like four years. I mean, to me the sky is nothing but a limit.

Victor Wembanyama is widely considered a generational talent, so becoming the best by 25 is highly possible, though currently pending.

A'ja Wilson is as much better than the second best WNBA player as Patrick Mahomes is compared to other QBs in the playoffs

The gap [between A'ja Wilson and the second best woman] is as long as, as strong as, as big as Patrick Mahomes to the second best quarterback in football during the playoffs. Specifically the playoffs.

A'ja Wilson is currently having a historic season, making this a strong comparison, though ultimately subjective.

The Washington State dynasty has already peaked under Coach Doug

Congratulations. Thank you. On the best season Wazoo is gonna have under you, coach Doug. I'm realistic. And I'm wanting to root for you. But when but when you're missing reps. If you won that game, sky's the limit.

Washington State finished 8-5 in 2024 under Jake Dickert (not 'Coach Doug' as referenced in the take). The prediction that the program had already peaked is contradicted by WSU's continued competitive play.
