The 2020 Stanley Cup will have an asterisk and should be called the 'Corona Cup'

I've called it it's going to be the corona Cup this year. So they're actually only going to take off the top bowl of the Stanley Cup and handed to the winners. So forever a little bit of an asterisk people have argued with me over that but still I just think it's different it's odd.

The term 'Corona Cup' didn't stick widely, but the debate over the legitimacy of the bubble championship persists, though most fans now accept it.

The Bears were right to sign Nick Foles because there were no other good quarterbacks available

Looks like the Bears were really right to sign Nick Foles because there's no other good quarterbacks out there. Yeah.

The Bears signing Foles was widely panned after Newton signed for a minimum deal, and Foles' tenure in Chicago was ultimately unsuccessful.

The NBA blatantly rigged the schedule so that Zion Williamson makes the playoffs

The schedule is awesome because we are going to have day games... except for the fact that they rigged it so that Zion gets into the playoffs and that's awesome. Yeah. Absolutely. We're a hundred percent behind that... They basically play the bottom teams.

Despite the favorable schedule, the Pelicans struggled in the bubble and did not qualify for the 2020 playoffs.

The Patriots are going to make the Super Bowl with Cam Newton

Cam Newton is going to be the starter. It's going to be electric. The Patriots are going to make the Super Bowl. It's going to be the Patriots and the Bucs and I'm going to be so excited.

The Patriots finished 7-9 and missed the playoffs. While the Bucs won the Super Bowl, the Patriots were nowhere near it.

Connor McDavid is playing the best hockey of his career in this Olympic tournament

I don't know if McDavid's ever been this good... It's incredible. Like I think he gave guys maybe six or seven grade A scoring chances. He had seven shots on his own. Then the Finnish coach today said, yeah, McDavid is the best player in this tournament by a mile.

McDavid's brilliance is widely acknowledged, though 'best ever' is always debatable.

Sidney Crosby's Olympic injury is likely an MCL sprain

He was trying to stabilize on his right leg and it just, it opened up, which to me speaks MCL sprain... I'm hoping it's not too bad and it's just a grade one, maybe two MCL sprain.

Crosby's injury status was a major storyline during the 2026 Olympics.

Team USA has a better defensive corps than Canada, but Canada has significantly better forwards

The D's better overall. I believe their forwards are significantly better than ours... Crosby being out, it's scary. And if he's out, that's a big difference... On D our D's better, their forwards are better.

A widely held scouting assessment of the two 2026 Olympic rosters.
