If Illinois or Arkansas wins their first-round game by double digits, bet everything on Kansas to beat them in the second round

If, if Arkansas or Illinois wins that game by 10 or more, okay, take Kansas by a billion because that is exactly what will happen. Like Illinois would beat Arkansas, he'd be like, holy shit... Kids better watch out than Kansas. Like No, no, no. That's not how this works.

Arkansas beat Illinois by 10, but then Arkansas UPSET Kansas 72-71.

Somebody got fleeced in the Bears-Panthers trade, but we won't know who for three years

The Bears have made a big trade on Friday afternoon... Fleeced, they fleeced somebody got fleeced, I don't know who asked me in three years, but somebody got fleeced.

Whether a trade is a 'fleece' is a long-term subjective evaluation, and Big Cat correctly identifies the uncertainty.

Rutgers got screwed and completely fucked by the NCAA tournament committee

I do wanna say Rutgers got screwed. Let's just throw that out there. Rutgers got fucked. I I, one of my favorite parts of when they do the bracket reveal and you have the last four out and one team always gets fucked. That team gets maybe like three minutes of everyone feeling bad for 'em. And then you're like, oh shit. I have a bracket in my head.

Whether a team 'deserved' to be in is inherently subjective and a matter of debate.

UNC are cowards for refusing to participate in the NIT

UNC preemptively declaring that they're not going to participate in the NIT [are] cowards, which is a bullshit thing that they're doing. It's disgusting that UNC is bowing out... This is, it's disgusting. It's a slap in the face to all of college basketball.

UNC did officially decline the NIT invitation in 2023.

The Ravens are using a physical loophole to back out of the Maxx Crosby trade

I'm calling bullshit on all this. It does feel like something's fishy here. And maybe it's just the Ravens using the loophole of, hey, we can see, we can trade for Maxx Crosby, see how the rest of free agency plays out, knowing that this stupid legal tampering and then official free agency, there's a two day gap and then just figure it out later.

The trade was literally rescinded, but the 'nefarious loophole' theory is a subjective interpretation of front office tactics.

The NFL needs a 'no-backsies' rule for players who post elaborate social media goodbye videos

If you post a 13 minute goodbye video on social media like Maxx Crosby did, that should just be trade final. You can't come back on that... I actually am rooting for Maxx Crosby to be on the Raiders now because that will be so awkward and funny.

This is a humorous rule proposal, not a verifiable prediction.

The Panthers were right to overpay for Jaelan Phillips

The Panthers getting Jaelan Phillips, even though it was a lot of money, I feel like you gotta do it. Cap went up and I feel like you have to do those type of moves, especially when you are a playoff team from last year. Your defense was a problem... I'd be like, oh, Howie's interested? I'll give him more money.

The success of the Panthers' defense with Phillips will determine if the overpay was justified.
