Villanova will lose in the National Championship game this year
Villanova's gonna lose the national championship this year. I was going to say Final Four and then I knew what your joke was going to be. So I said it first.
Fernando Tatis Jr. is a 'vibes guy' you want in your clubhouse despite the PED suspension
Tatis is a vibes guy. I mean, that's a guy you want. That's a guy. I wanted my clubhouse... Tatis is a vibes guy. I mean, that's a guy you want. That's a guy. I wanted my clubhouse. [PFT: He's always suspended] Nah, he's a great guy.
Cam Whitmore at 20 is the best value of the 2023 NBA Draft
Cam Whitmore going 20 is I guess the best value of the Draft. I mean Villanova is the most year in and year out. They get disrespected in the Draft every year and then they outperform their expectations time and time again.
Bloodsport is an unexceptional movie that is difficult to pay attention to.
Nah, it was fine. It was just... it's just one of those movies that you have it on and you're on your phone and you lose the plot... you're not paying attention. I mean, in that sense, it was like, all right, I can look up, watch him fighting.
The Celtics need to blow the team up
First is stop talking about that video because Celtics lost and it doesn't matter. First they, you gotta blow it up. You gotta blow it up. How many times can you get close? I mean, as a Celtics fan, I cannot stand watching this team get so close year after year and then falling short. It's bullshit.
The Process is officially dead in Philadelphia
There isn't much more to this. The Process is dead. It is officially dead. It's over. Doc Rivers is gone a hundred percent. James Harden's gone a hundred percent.
Joel Embiid cannot lead a team deep into the playoffs as the number one guy
He's clearly not a go-to guy in the playoffs. He's just not. Facts. And like that's something like even and if he does go, he is gonna go somewhere where he doesn't have to be the go-to guy in the playoffs. He can't lead a team deep in a playoff run.
NBA Game 7s are a completely different animal where momentum means nothing
Momentum doesn't matter. That's one thing that I've learned is momentum means nothing. Because going into this series, going into this game, all the, all the momentum was going towards the Sixers after the Celtics won two, it looked like the Sixers were dead. Momentum means nothing. Game seven is one game. Throw out everything else.
Joel Embiid will score at least 35 points in Game 3 against the Celtics
He's gonna look so much better tonight... He's gonna drop at least 35 [points].
The Sixers will never play as poorly as they did in Game 2 again in these playoffs
That game [Game 2] will not happen again... we will not see the Sixers look like that again in this playoffs.
The Sixers will win Game 1 against the Celtics and Tobias Harris will score 30 points.
Sixers are gonna win. I think Tobias Harris goes off for 30 tomorrow [tonight].
NFL Draft grades and predictions are meaningless; the only thing that matters is getting a player with fun highlights.
I'm a big believer of draft day means nothing. And it's fun to get excited and watch highlights—draft day's about watching highlights. That's the only thing that matters is getting a guy who has fun highlights that you can go to bed tonight watching them and get you excited for the future. But it means nothing.
The Philadelphia 76ers will defeat the Boston Celtics in six games.
Sixers are gonna win. Sixers in six.
Joel Embiid will play in the next series despite his knee injury
He'll be ready to go. I know Docs have given the whole 50-50 that he's gonna play. [Doc Rivers is saying] he's not gonna play. [I'm saying] he's gonna fucking play.
Joel Embiid falling down on purpose is better for his body's health
The falling is good. The falling is good. Memes and I were watching a video on it... he chooses to fall because it's better for his body. See, you wouldn't understand.
The NBA rigged Game 3 of the Sixers-Nets series to extend it
No, I mean it, it was just blatant at halftime. There was, there was something that happened. There was something that happened at halftime... The Nets had zero fouls in the second half until five minutes to go in the fourth quarter. It was insane. They obviously wanted a series they wanted, but they wanted the game to go more than four games.
Playoff James Harden is dead
My take of playoff James Harden is dead, died last night cuz he was so bad. I was so excited after Saturday and then last night, I mean he like didn't even belong on the court.
UConn didn't play anyone notable during their 2023 championship run
I think they have to face someone better than a three seed. They didn't play anybody the whole tournament. They didn't play the Alabama. Nova beat real teams.
It's more fun to root for the worst team in the NBA than a middling team
There's something about being a fan for the worst team in the NBA that is like even more, it's more fun than being a middling team because you have like a couple young guys that that's all you care about is them playing well. ... Being in the no man's land of like making the play-in and stuff sucks.
Drew Timmy is the best player on the planet
Drew Timmy has become [the] best fucking player on the planet. Every single time he wants the score, he scores.
Combined no-hitters are fake and shouldn't count the same as a single-pitcher no-hitter
There are so many no-hitter. Fake ass, no-hitter mouth. No. I think it's actually history is going to look... in college baseball, it's every single day I see something else for a combined no-hitter. Well, because it's so much easier to get a combined no-hitter. That's fake. ... It doesn't feel the same. Zero hits is not the same as no hits.
UConn does not own Madison Square Garden; Villanova is the program that owns the building
Danny Hurley also said that UConn owns the MSG and he's never even made it to the Big East final. ... There's one program that clearly owns MSG right now in the Big East. Yes, [Villanova] had a down year, but it's certainly not fucking UConn who hasn't been to the Sweet 16 in nine years.
Juju Smith-Schuster is a piece of shit and AJ Brown would beat him up
He's a piece of shit. Like, I don't know who he thinks he is... AJ Brown would beat the absolute fucking... AJ Brown would've. AJ Brown basically said, said that he would, he would beat the fuck out of him if he's keep talking about him.
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.
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 still won. That was the biggest NBA rig thing of all time. Andre Iguodala absolutely dominated that dunk contest.
JuJu Smith-Schuster is a huge piece of shit for trolling James Bradberry after the Super Bowl
[Jake mentions Juju Schuster's post-game tweet] He's a huge piece of shit. Oh, that's, that's tough. No, that's the difference between Eagles and the Chiefs though, is that the Eagles, you know, we've taken accountability for everything.
I would beat the fuck out of Hank and it would do huge numbers
The thing about me is I would beat the fuck outta Hank. And it would do numbers too. Nueys too. I would beat the fuck out of this guy.
Jalen Hurts is definitively a franchise quarterback and no one can say anything bad about him
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 Sixers will lose to the Celtics in the playoffs this year
We're gonna lose to the Celtics in the playoffs this year and it's going to be like the most devastating thing of all time.
Jason Kelce is definitely retiring
Jason Kelce is definitely retiring. That was his last... I love Jason Kelce. I'm gonna miss him so much.
The Eagles roster is better than the Chiefs at every position group except quarterback and tight end
The Eagles are probably better than the Chiefs at every position group other than quarterback. Tight end—quarterback and tight end. Yeah. But offensive line, defensive line—I'm taking the birds. Receiver room, birds. Running game, birds. Secondary, birds. Like the Eagles have the better roster.
The 49ers are the only remaining team in the playoffs that can 'win ugly' and are the scariest matchup for the Eagles
The Niners can win the game ugly. If there was one team left right now... the Niners are probably the last team that I would like to see left on both sides. They're respectable foes.
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.
Jalen Hurts is only 82-85% healthy heading into the Divisional Round
That's my analysis. I've seen some throws of practice this week. I'm giving [Jalen Hurts] 82 to... I'm giving 85%.
The 'candy ass' Dolphins will suck against the Patriots because they are playing in the cold
Patriots minus three. No Tua going up North. Candy ass Dolphin suck.
Lane Johnson is a warrior and will be 100% back for the playoffs after choosing not to have surgery
Lane Johnson is pretty important... He has confirmed that he will be back for the playoffs... He's choosing not to get surgery so that he can, he can 100%. He's a warrior.
Nathaniel Hackett is the worst coach of all time
Nathaniel Hackett officially fired... worst coach of all time.
If Lane Johnson is back, the Eagles will be 100% fine
I came out of that game feeling better than I did going into it... If Lane Johnson is back by the second round of the playoffs, I'm as confident as I could be.
The Eagles will beat the Saints and the roster will be fully healthy for the playoffs
We're going to beat the Saints at home next week. Like that's just, that's just going to happen. And then you have, you're going to have three weeks for everyone to get healthy for the second round of the playoffs.
The James Harden to Houston rumors are true
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.
Jalen Hurts is elite because of his running ability, and people shouldn't complain when he gets hurt doing it.
I'm sick of people online getting all pissed off that Jalen Hurts runs that. Because that's the number one thing is that, oh, this is what happens when you have running quarterback. They're just gonna get hurt. ... That's what makes Jalen Hurts good. Jalen Hurts is good because he can throw the ball and because he can run. And if you don't run then you don't get the good parts with Jalen Hurts.
The Eagles' special teams is bad enough to cause a catastrophic loss in the playoffs.
Special teams looks bad. Defense looks bad. ... We're the worst kickoff team in the league. They get to the 40 three times a game off kickoff and it makes such a difference. And it's just frustrating to see. [Big Cat adds]: Special teams will always rear its ugly head... it will turn everything in a playoff game.
The Seahawks will beat the Cardinals because Arizona sucks
Seahawks plus two against Cardinals. I hate the Cardinals. Seahawks win.
