UCLA will win the 2023 NCAA Tournament

So I'm going with the UCLA Bruins. Mostly because Tiger Campbell and Jaime Jaquez are still on the teams. There's two guys that I know... And Mick Cronin, friend of the show.

UCLA lost in the Sweet 16 to Gonzaga in a classic game.

The NBA rigged the 2006 Dunk Contest for Nate Robinson over Andre Iguodala

Nate Robinson was bullshit. He should have lost to Andre Iguodala... well he missed like 32 dunks in a row and then, and then still won. Prince Nate Robinson. That was the biggest NBA rig thing of all time.

It's a subjective opinion on a judged event, though Robinson notoriously took many attempts to complete his final dunk.

Jalen Hertz did look really good. Jalen Hertz was phenomenal. That's, that's one thing that you can walk away is being like, no one can say anything bad about Jalen Hertz anymore.

The Eagles are in a 'can't lose' situation where everything makes too much sense

This is a can't lose. It's starting get to a point where I like the Eagles so much in this game that it's like there's no way that like there's no way this is going to happen. It makes too much sense that the Eagles are going to win this game.

The Eagles lost Super Bowl LVII to the Chiefs 38-35.

The Eagles roster is better than the Chiefs at every position except quarterback and tight end

The Eagles are probably better than the Chiefs at every position group other than quarterback. Tight end, tight end quarterback and tight end. Yeah. But blind offensive defensive line. I'm taking, I'm taking the birds receiver room, birds running game birds secondary, secondary birds. Like the eagles have the better roster.

This is a widely accepted evaluation of the 2022 rosters; the Eagles were deeper but the Chiefs had Mahomes and Kelce.

Lane Johnson is healthy enough to lift a 325-pound man and his groin is fantastic

Lane Johnson I've heard is just, I heard that he lifted a 325-pound man off the ground today. And that his groin is just fantastic... [his] leg, thigh, groin, area is better than expected.

Lane Johnson played through a torn groin and performed exceptionally well in the playoffs, helping the Eagles reach the Super Bowl.

Harden says quote, 'I don't know where you found that report.' ... He was being so wishy-washy, but it was like, 'I don't know where you found that report.' And then it's like, yep, that's it. [The rumors are true].

Jalen Hurts' shoulder injury will only sideline him for one to three weeks

It's a sprained shoulder. People sprain their shoulders all the time. What's the one to three weeks? One to three weeks. It's one to three weeks. Take the three weeks, give you the fourth. Take the bye from the first week of the playoffs.

Hurts missed two games (Dec 24 and Jan 1) and returned for the regular season finale on Jan 8, exactly within the 3-week window.
