Kevin Durant misses and appreciates Steph Curry more after playing with Kyrie Irving and Ben Simmons

I actually think the internet might have bullied [Kevin Durant] a little too hard with the legacy talk... playing with James Harden, Ben Simmons and Kyrie [Irving] I would say makes you appreciate Steph Curry a lot more... He probably writes out text messages to Steph at like two in the morning and then deletes them being like, 'I miss you. I'm sorry... I should have been okay with [it being your team]'.

This is a subjective assessment of a player's private feelings.

Kirk Cousins' Pro Bowl victory proves he can win big games

Kirk Cousins leads NFC to a comeback. So there you go. All the haters that say Kirk Cousins can't win a big game. He just won the Pro Bowl Flag Football challenge.

Literally correct that he won the flag football game, but the take is entirely ironic.

Kyrie Irving to the Mavericks is a good move because there's only half a season for his 'team cancer' to spread

I think it's a good move for the Mavericks because he only has half a season for his team cancer to spread. So this is like a good window for Kyrie... it's hard to destroy a brand new team in like four months.

The Mavs actually missed the playoffs and even the play-in tournament entirely in 2023 after the trade, so it did not work out well in the short term.

The Kyrie Irving trade raises the Mavericks' ceiling but makes their floor 'lava'

This trade to the Mavericks raises their ceiling but makes the floor lava. And that's perfect... In a world where this all works out, you now added like... a walking bucket.

The Mavericks finished 11th in the West, missing the postseason, which arguably hit the 'lava' floor in the immediate aftermath.

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The trade was literally rescinded, but the 'nefarious loophole' theory is a subjective interpretation of front office tactics.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