Purdue is the best sleeper team in the tournament because they never give up
Purdue is a great sleeper pick. They don't give up. They claw back into games. They're so young, they almost don't understand when you're supposed to fold. Trevion Williams is awesome... they have shooters. I like Matt Painter as like the second best coach behind Izzo probably in the Big Ten.

View episodeRyan Fitzpatrick is the most fun quarterback Washington could have hoped for
I am under no illusion that Ryan Fitzpatrick is going to come in and immediately turn the football team into a Super Bowl contenders because we already are Super Bowl contenders, but he is the most fun quarterback that I could have hoped for, besides [Jameis] Winston.

Every NFL contract is effectively a two-year deal
The way to look at every single contract in the NFL is it's a two-year deal. No matter how many dollars they throw out there, how many years they throw out there, everyone just signed a two-year deal and then they can cut. If you look at every contract like that, it all kind of makes sense.

Last year I came and I, and I, I made the argument that we're probably gonna get chalk. That's exactly what happened... for the second year in a row, I don't see [Cinderellas] at all... Arizona, Michigan and Duke are, in my estimation, they've been head and shoulders better than everybody else all season. So I I, with that, I feel like it's gonna be kind of chalky.
South Florida will beat Louisville in the first round
I like South Florida to beat Louisville. I think Louisville has been a big disappointment this year. I think injuries have, it's a lot of injuries... I like South Florida. I don't know, maybe it's the Bosco effect, but like, he got me watching a lot of South Florida the last few days and, and they play hard.
Arizona will win the 2026 National Championship
I'll just spoiler, I, I picked Arizona to win the national championship. I think what excites me about Arizona is they could beat you in so many different ways... They have shooters, they have multiple shooters... I can't say enough great things about Arizona.
