The Buffalo Sabres are a legitimate up-and-coming team with elite young talent

Things are changing in Buffalo. And Jack Eichel... there was so much baggage and drama there. It ended. They got a couple really good players in for him. And they've taken off and they have the youngest team in the NHL, I would say they have like six legit studs that are under the age 24.

The Sabres finished one point out of a playoff spot in 2022-23, showing major improvement, though they regressed the following year.

I bet on the Baltimore Ravens to win the Super Bowl at 13 to 1

I have made a wager on the Baltimore Ravens to win the Super Bowl at 13 to one... Everyone's like, Oh, you know, no one's gonna be able to keep up with the bills and the chief's offense. Why not defense? Why aren't we looking for defense?

The Ravens lost in the Wild Card round to the Bengals. The Chiefs eventually won Super Bowl LVII.

Lamar Jackson will pull a 'Joe Flacco' and win the Super Bowl in a contract year

Wouldn't that be so Ravens too? I was about to say for Lamar [Jackson] to win the Super Bowl in a contract year... And they have to pay him the Flacco. That would be, he would pull a full Flacco on you.

Jackson did not win the Super Bowl that year; he was injured late in the season and missed the playoffs.

Carson Wentz was not the problem in Indianapolis; it was everyone else

I think I actually take Carson Wentz's side in the breakup. Because like they remember how much they bashed him and were like, he's not a leader. He's the reason we lost the Jags. Now that we've moved away from it, you know, eight months and we've seen some more stuff. I think Carson Wentz was not the problem. It was just all the other guys.

While the Colts were indeed a mess after Wentz left, Wentz also struggled significantly in Washington, suggesting he was still part of the problem.

Connor McDavid is playing the best hockey of his career in this Olympic tournament

I don't know if McDavid's ever been this good... It's incredible. Like I think he gave guys maybe six or seven grade A scoring chances. He had seven shots on his own. Then the Finnish coach today said, yeah, McDavid is the best player in this tournament by a mile.

McDavid's brilliance is widely acknowledged, though 'best ever' is always debatable.

Sidney Crosby's Olympic injury is likely an MCL sprain

He was trying to stabilize on his right leg and it just, it opened up, which to me speaks MCL sprain... I'm hoping it's not too bad and it's just a grade one, maybe two MCL sprain.

Ryan Whitney correctly diagnosed Sidney Crosby's Olympic injury as an MCL sprain. Former NFL doctor David Chao confirmed Crosby likely sustained a low-grade left knee MCL sprain after his collision with Radko Gudas. Crosby missed the rest of the Olympics and was placed on IR for at least four weeks upon returning to the Penguins.

Team USA has a better defensive corps than Canada, but Canada has significantly better forwards

The D's better overall. I believe their forwards are significantly better than ours... Crosby being out, it's scary. And if he's out, that's a big difference... On D our D's better, their forwards are better.

A widely held scouting assessment of the two 2026 Olympic rosters.
