Accusing someone of being 'triggered' for replying to a comment is a lazy and incorrect assessment of how the internet works

If you actually knew what that was like [working in media]... you would never say to somebody, 'Oh, you're triggered,' because you're like, 'Wait, so the one time I decided to say something... and you think I'm over here fucking sad about it?'

This is a subjective opinion on social media behavior and the psychology of public figures.

Michigan ducked Michigan State during the 2020-21 seasons

Michigan ducked. Michigan ducked Michigan State.

Hot TakeCFBHotSarcastic
Michigan and Michigan State played in 2020 (MSU won) and 2021 (MSU won). The 'ducking' claim usually refers to the 2020 Ohio State cancellation, which Big Cat applies to MSU here for comedic effect.

Brian Kelly is a winner and will have an awesome staff at LSU

Brian Kelly wins everywhere he goes... I think Kelly's a winner. And I think he's going to have an awesome staff. I think there's always a little hesitancy when you're from there [the South]... but he's a winner.

Kelly won 10 games in 2022 and 2023, reaching the SEC Championship in his first year. While not a championship yet, he has maintained his 'winner' status.

Nebraska would have played Georgia closer than Michigan did in the 2021-22 CFP

They [Nebraska] probably would've played Georgia within like eight points. I swear to God. I swear to God.

Nebraska was historically good for a 3-9 team, but Georgia was one of the most dominant defenses in history; assuming a 3-win team plays them closer than a playoff team is extreme hyperbole.

The Indiana Pacers won the trade deadline by adding Ivica Zubac while maintaining a path to a top-four pick

I look at the Pacers, you know, like you add a top five center in [Zubac]... you clean up some of your cap stuff, you bring in a top center who's gonna make you a little different... and then you have a chance at the top four pick here... I like what they did because they were doing something long-term while also making sure that they're tanking.

The success of this move depends on the Pacers' final draft position and Zubac's fit over the coming seasons.

The Milwaukee Bucks should not play Giannis Antetokounmpo for the rest of the season

I don't even think Milwaukee would want Giannis to come back and play... They should want to do whatever they can with this pick 'cause they don't have many of 'em. And Giannis probably shouldn't even wanna play and risk health and risk this contract extension that he can get before next fall. So the tanking is gonna get egregious.

Depends on if Giannis plays and if the Bucks achieve a better long-term outcome by sitting him.

The Clippers made a smart pivot trading James Harden for Darius Garland

I like what the Clippers did... I don't think Darius Garland is this bad. He's a two-time all star. He's 26 years old... when he was right, he was terrific. And Harden... fourth trade request in six years. So the Clippers very quickly on the fly... you'll look at the Garland thing and go, man, they were able to land a player like that for Harden.

The success of the Garland/Clippers pairing would determine this.
