Maryland is a dark horse to reach the Final Four

I think much like Greg Gard and his staff, Kevin Willard and his staff went to the lab... they're dangerous. They're not over-reliant on any one or two pieces... Maryland can go deep.

Maryland did not make the Final Four. They were eliminated earlier in the tournament. Florida defeated them in the Sweet 16.

The Rams could have won the Super Bowl last year if a few things had broken differently

I went away from the playoffs being like the Rams were right there. If a couple things break differently, they could have feasibly won the Super Bowl.

The Rams lost to the Eagles in the divisional round; whether they could have won it all is subjective but they were competitive.

Sam Darnold will take less money to play for the Rams next season

I think [Sam Darnold] probably would take a little bit less money to play for, for Los Angeles than another team if it came down to that.

Depends on where Darnold signs in free agency and the contract terms.

Alex Ovechkin will break the NHL goal record this season against the Penguins on April 17th

I think he's gonna do it this year. I think he's gonna do it against the [Penguins] at the end of the season... having him break it right in Sidney Crosby's face would be incredible. It's the last game of the regular season at Pittsburgh.

Ovechkin currently has 894 goals, needing 1 to tie and 2 to pass Gretzky. We need to see if he hits it on 4/17.

There are 10 to 12 teams with a legitimate chance to win the national title

I really think 10 to 12. ... I don't think it's [the top of the country] ever been better and I don't think it's ever been deeper. ... Michigan can win it all. Duke can win it all. Arizona can certainly win it all. Houston... Texas Tech... Purdue... UConn.

In March Madness, several teams usually have a realistic shot.

The Big 10 will snap its 26-year national championship drought this year

This is the year for the Big 10. I know the Big 12 stacked. But if the Big Ten's gonna snap this drought of 26 long years without national championship, if Michigan plays their A game guys, they're gonna be no worse than in Indianapolis. ... The Big 10 [is where the champion comes from].

Outcome of the 2026 NCAA Tournament.

Austin Peay is a dangerous Cinderella team that could pull an upset in the NCAA tournament

Austin Peay could pull something off in the big dance. ... I would say don't fall asleep when the Ivy League champion gets a 13 seed... But Austin Peay could pull something off.

Depends on Austin Peay making the tourney and winning a game.
