This is the easiest sports letdown of all time because fans can't attend games or have parades anyway

This is the easiest letdown of all time because you can play that game in your mind like, 'What's the point of even winning a cup if you can't go to games or go to the bars with your friends?' ... If your team loses, just enjoy the fact that this will be the easiest letdown of all time that we will ever have as fans.

This is a subjective take on the fan experience during the pandemic.

The Capitals made a massive mistake not re-signing Stanley Cup-winning coach Barry Trotz

The fact that the Capitals didn't re-sign their Stanley Cup winning coach after he won a Stanley Cup is still so fucking crazy to me. I know there's money and all that stuff, but how do you win a cup and not bring that guy back? ... He's a fun coach. He's a player's coach and once it gets to the playoffs, it's all about just making your team comfortable. Todd Reirden is not that guy.

Barry Trotz won back-to-back Jack Adams nominations with the Islanders while the Capitals were eliminated in the first round in consecutive years under Reirden, who was fired in 2020.

The Lakers are going to fuck the Blazers up. Put it up, put it right down, quote it. Five games. Maybe [four]. ... The Blazers play pickup basketball. They do not play defense. And they play against the Lakers. I think the Lakers just need to get three consecutive stops and the game's over.

The Lakers did beat the Blazers 4-1 in the first round of the 2020 NBA playoffs.

Florida can win the national championship because they can shoot threes now

Florida though, I've been talking about Florida for three weeks. They could shoot threes now. They absolutely kicked [Arkansas's]... They just throttle teams. All four of [Duke, Michigan, Arizona, Florida] would be the best team in the previous five years.

Miami of Ohio will make the tournament even if they lose in the conference tournament

I'm saying right now, winning every... If they go undefeated in the conference, that is so hard to do. I think if they go undefeated in the conference and then lose in the conference tournament, I think they will be in.

This will be resolved on Selection Sunday, March 15th, 2026.
