Connor McDavid will win a Stanley Cup, but it will not be in Edmonton

Can [Connor McDavid] win the big one? Yes. Not in Edmonton. Oh, okay. I like that. That's a good take.

McDavid is still on the Oilers and has not yet won a Cup. If he wins with Edmonton, this is incorrect.

Cooper Flagg could make close to a billion dollars in the NBA by age 32

If everything goes well for [Cooper Flagg] and he signs all of his extensions and everything... he could make close to a billion dollars in the NBA by age 32. He has a $62 million rookie deal... then he'd get the 30% supermax, which would be $359 million. And then he would get the 35% supermax, which would be $509 million.

This is a long-term prediction dependent on the NBA salary cap increasing and Flagg performing at a Supermax level.

The Pelicans' trade from pick 23 to 13 was the worst trade ever

Pelicans. Oh boy. Yep. That was the worst trade ever. They traded from 23 up to 13 and they gave away their unprotected first round pick next year. Actually worse than that... they gave whichever one is better, is higher. And if the Bucks trade Giannis, that could literally just be two shots at getting the one pick.

The value of the traded pick will be determined after the 2026 NBA Draft lottery.

The Wizards must change their name back to the Bullets to fix their culture

They need to change their name so bad. They gotta go back to the bullets. I think you go back to the bullets day one, culture change, different mentality. Your shooters again.

This is a subjective opinion on branding and team culture.

Connor Hellebuyck is the best goalie in the world

Connor Hellebuyck just saying, 'Hey boys, hop on my back. I got this for you. Just jump on in and ride me to this fucking gold medal.' It's incredible. We had the best goalie in the world and our defense is way better than Canada... I don't care if he gave up 50 goals before that game, the way he played that game, he should have won MVP.

Hellebuyck's status as the best is subjective, but his 41-save performance in the Gold Medal game is a factual anchor for the claim.

This gold medal win will have the same impact on US hockey growth as the 1980 Miracle on Ice

The 1980 Olympic gold medal meant so much for guys like me as an American hockey player to be able to live out your dream. This game right now, what it meant to the world... there's going to be a lot of parents who bring their kid down to the local rink and sign them up because I watched that game. I truly believe it is more than a game for what it can mean for a sport.

Impact on sport growth is long-term and difficult to quantify vs 1980, but the conviction is high.

Dak Prescott would be just as successful as Jalen Hurts if he played for the Eagles

I'm more thinking the defense was nasty... I think it's kind of hard to definitively say that Dak Prescott couldn't do what Jalen Hurts [does] if he had that much.

This is a hypothetical comparison between two players in different systems.
