The NHL needs to implement a soft cap and luxury tax

I think it's ridiculous the fact that because of all that stuff that some teams got jammed up where they can't even keep the players that they drafted and developed... I think that in that case, maybe they can eliminate that or, or penalize that more. I just feel that if you're drafting and developing players and then you're being punished for it... it seems a little bit contradictory.

This is a policy opinion on sports business and cannot be 'correct' in a factual sense, but the NHL has not yet implemented a luxury tax.

Ben Simmons should just quit playing basketball

I think at this point, Ben Simmons should just quit playing basketball. I think he should quit. I think he just doesn't like it. I think it's pretty obvious that he doesn't like playing basketball... if he doesn't like doing it, he should just quit.

Simmons continued his career with the Nets and later the 76ers, but his career has been marred by lack of availability and decreased performance, though he did not quit.

Also the Bucks... what if the Bucks are maybe the biggest lock tonight? The rosters coming allly back. You saw that video with Giannis with the jump shot. This is like the greatest basketball player of all time.

The Bucks beat the Nets 127-104 on October 19, 2021.

The Bills will finish as the 1-seed in the AFC despite the Titans loss

The bills will be fine. They have, I think the second easiest or easiest schedule for the rest of the year. So they'll, I still think they'll probably end up with the one seed because they, I mean, even their next three games, the bills play the dolphins, the Jaguars, the jets.

The Bills finished 11-6 and were the 3-seed. The Titans actually took the 1-seed.

The NHL should move to a longer 3-on-3 overtime to avoid shootouts

I actually think that they should move to a longer three on three. Even if you added two extra minutes... I think would, would make a lot more games end in in in overtime as opposed to going to a shootout.

Shootouts remain a divisive topic in hockey, and many fans/players share this sentiment.

Brad Marchand is a lock for the Hall of Fame

That's why I believe he's a hall of famer is because he was one of the best clutch wingers in the game for a significant almost a decade... Brad Marchand [is] the leader in Stanley Cup finals goals [among active players].

Marchand is still active, so HOF status is pending retirement.

The Florida Panthers will win the Stanley Cup in 6 games

I personally believe... that Florida's gonna close out at home in six games... they're gonna close this fucker out at home. And unfortunately for McDavid and Draisaitl, they just don't have a good enough overall team.

The Florida Panthers won the 2025 Stanley Cup, defeating the Edmonton Oilers 4-2 in the Final. They won in 6 games as predicted.
