The Clippers are going to be a problem in the NBA this season

John Wall moving to the Clippers. Club's going to be a problem. So Clippers are an issue right now. Playoff P is back this season... Kawhi is him. They have three hims. He plays every other year... he comes back and plays one insane year and they're like Kawhi, best player in the league.

The 2022-23 Clippers were a 5th seed and lost in the first round of the playoffs, largely due to injuries again. They were not the dominant 'problem' predicted.

Kyrie Irving's teammates probably don't enjoy the drama despite what they say publicly

I would guarantee his teammates don't love this. I don't know. But he gets so much... I feel like all of his teammates that have ever talked about him publicly have said how much they love him. They like go out of their way to come up them playing with him. Yeah. But he, the problem is he hasn't been playing that much.

While speculative, subsequent reports of internal friction and Kyrie's eventual trade suggest his teammates likely grew tired of the distractions.

Deshaun Watson will be suspended for an indefinite year

We're first reporting on Pardon My Take that Deshaun Watson will be suspended for an indefinite year. Yep. On Friday. Yeah. So we just know Roger Goodell that much, that that's what could happen... My guess is it will be a suspension for a year. And then the appeal is going to come through... And then Goodell is going to be like, okay, I'll reduce it to 14 games or 12 games.

Watson was eventually suspended for 11 games following an appeal, which is very close to Big Cat's '12 games' guess during the appeal reduction phase of his take.

Wait until the last week of August to do your fantasy football drafts

Just a reminder. Don't do your fantasy drafts until the last week of August. Yeah. Even maybe the Tuesday before the Thursday kickoff. That's usually what I do that Monday or that Tuesday. The freaks out there that draft their fantasy team in July and then they're shocked when half the roster is gone before the season starts stop doing that.

This is logically sound advice to avoid drafting players who might get injured in training camp or preseason.

Betting the over on Alabama basketball is a cheat code

Alabama by the way is a cheat code if you want to get in on it. It's just betting their overs. They just never stopped missing. This has been like, oh, two weeks now they're over under for the first half was 45 and a half points last night. They scored 69 in the first half.

The 'cheat code' status of a team's over is based on a specific run of games; eventually, Vegas adjusts the lines.

Tua Tagovailoa's market value is non-existent relative to his contract

Everything's on the table for the Dolphins. Tua could be a fullback. What would you... What do you think the Dolphins would say yes to for a trade for Tua? Like a sixth round pick for Tua? A jugs machine? I don't know what the hell would Tua's market be?

The Dolphins' internal view on 'everything being on the table' is a subjective claim about team strategy.
