Bartolo Colon's obesity is a genius life hack because nobody suspects fat people of using steroids

Bartolo Colon, I'll tell you, that guy, he is a walking, talking life hack. ... when you're that fat, no one ever thinks you do steroids. So he just made a fucking 20-year career in Major League Baseball.

Colon's suspension in 2012 actually proves that he was caught despite the 'mask' of his physique, though Big Cat's point about perception is largely true.

Phil Jackson's master plan was to get paid for screwing up the Knicks

Phil's master plan was to get paid for screwing up a franchise and he's getting paid. He's just like [fucking] the ground, having a good time, getting paid for it. He played James Dolan like a fiddle.

Jackson was fired with two years left on his $60 million contract, effectively getting paid a massive sum not to work for the team.

Chris Paul hated Doc Rivers because of the preferential treatment given to Austin Rivers

Chris Paul hated Doc Rivers ever since he brought Austin Rivers on and basically didn't yell at Austin Rivers and treated him exactly like his child.

Reports at the time from ESPN and others heavily suggested that the relationship between CP3 and Doc soured due to Doc's handling of his son Austin.

James Harden and Chris Paul will be fighting over the ball within two months

I give that about two months before we get James Harden doing something weird and being like, 'hey, I need the ball.' And Chris Paul's like, 'well, I'm the point guard and I need the ball.'

The Harden/Paul pairing was incredibly successful in its first year (2017-18), finishing with the NBA's best record. While they eventually clashed in 2019, Big Cat's two-month window for conflict was way off.

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.

Whether Florida wins the title or performs as an elite team will be decided by the end of March Madness.

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.
