The Washington Capitals are too good to never win a Stanley Cup

They're too good to never win one. But, I mean, they were the Presidents' Cup trophy winners last year... They have the most points in the league.

The Capitals won the Stanley Cup in 2018, just one year after this take.

The Falcons choked the Super Bowl away to the Patriots

I think the Falcons choked it away pretty hard. I didn't realize how bad the choke was until I saw the Patriots should have lost in four different wins.

The Falcons leading 28-3 in the third quarter and losing is statistically the greatest collapse in NFL history.

The Falcons lost the Super Bowl because Kyle Shanahan got 'too smart' and stopped running the ball

I don't know why they stopped running. Kyle Shanahan... Got a little too smart. You know what would have been funny is if they had just pulled his offer [to coach the 49ers]. Actually, you know what? The 49ers would probably kill half their homeless population just to get to a Super Bowl.

The Falcons famously led 28-3 and stopped running late in the game, leading to the Patriots' historic comeback.

I think that Brady's going to win one more Super Bowl. I think we'll get two. I think he'll win six.

Brady finished with 7 rings, winning two more after this podcast aired.

Rory McIlroy's Masters win was primarily 100% relief

It was almost all relief. And the thing that Andy North described to me... you feel so much more relief than joy... it was so obvious that sure there's joy in there... but clearly it was like, just thank God I did it.

Rory himself later admitted it was a burden, supporting this view.

Now that he's won the Masters, Rory McIlroy could stack three or four more majors

This is the damn burst that now frees them up to be truly like, fuck it. I'm gonna go do like... he's got a ton of runway in front of him. He could stack three or four more of these.

This will be proven over the next several years of golf majors.

Maryland needs Florida's Clayton to sprain an ankle to win the Sweet 16 matchup

I think we need Clayton to sprain his ankle. Not badly, not bad. I'm not rooting for it and I'm not rooting for an injury like that guy's got such big balls... Maryland needs to play its best, the best be the best version of itself and I think they can win the game.

Florida defeated Maryland and advanced to the Final Four. Walter Clayton Jr. was healthy and named the tournament's Most Outstanding Player, leading Florida to the national championship.
