Robert Kraft is the reason for the 'sneakers with suits' revolution

Robert's wearing sneakers. He's worn sneakers for as long as I've known him, and he's made it cool, and I think so many other people are doing it now. I think he actually kind of kicked that off. So I think I give him 100% credit for the sneaker revolution, for guys wearing those with suits.

The Purdue vs. Tennessee game was the best game of the tournament so far, second only to Duke

Matt Painter, you have slightly less of a stupid face, and I'm going to say some nice things about Purdue, but that [Purdue vs. Tennessee] was the game of the tournament other than the Duke game.

The 2019 tournament had several classics (including Virginia-Purdue and Duke-UCF), so while subjective, this was widely considered one of the top games.

Tennessee should not be allowed to wear their Indiana-style warm-up colors

My big takeaway was the Tennessee uniforms. They should not be allowed to wear those pants and those warm-ups and those colors. Those are Indianas. Those are Indianas.

The aesthetic similarity is widely noted by college basketball fans.

The 76ers will win the NBA championship this year

The second I sold, I went out and said the Sixers are winning the championship this year. I fully believe that's happening. I think it was my sale of the ownership that motivated everybody to play that much harder.

The 76ers lost to the Boston Celtics in the Eastern Conference Semifinals in 2023.

I have 'closed, closed' the door on future sports ownership because it would get in the way of Fanatics' success

are you closing the door on sports ownership going forward?... Closed. Closed. You're closed, closed. Look, here's the reality... I have so much to do to improve in everything that we do... for me, the opportunity to build fanatics into one of the most valuable companies in the world... I don't want anything to get in the way of that. And sports ownership would be in the way that.

As of late 2024, Michael Rubin has not returned to sports team ownership.

Josh Harris will successfully buy the Washington Commanders

I believe that Josh will get this done. That's my prediction. I believe that Josh will get this done... and I'm rooting for him. He grew up in Washington. I think he'll be a really good owner of that team.

Josh Harris officially bought the Commanders in July 2023.
