The NFL Draft is an unbreakable TV event because of the 'transaction of hope'

I totally geek out about it. I do not care what anybody else might say. I think it's, it's unbreakable. It's something As long as everybody wants to actually gather around a television set for three days and watch an event where the power brokers are not physically there.

The draft continues to see high ratings and cultural relevance.

The Heat's defensive strategy of letting Nikola Jokic score while shutting down his passing works

[The Heat's] strategy was we're gonna let Jokic score as many points as he wants to... Just be a scorer... because two points is not as much as three points. And so their zone defense was kind of predicated on allowing him to be a scorer, not a passer.

The Heat won Game 2 with Jokic scoring 41 points but only having 4 assists, though they eventually lost the series in 5 games.

The Miami Heat will win the NBA Championship because they are the only remaining team without a Taylor Swift tour stop

Every NBA team that made it to the semi-finals this year has had a Taylor Swift Eras tour stop through their city, and they've all been eliminated. The Denver Nuggets had Taylor Swift perform there. The Miami Heat is the only team that has not had Taylor Swift perform in their city. So if you're a swifty... Miami is going to win these championship.

The Nuggets won the championship despite the Taylor Swift tour stop.

Erik Spoelstra is the best coach in the NBA

The [Miami Heat] are a really fucking good team. And Spo is the best. Yeah. He is the best coach.

This is a subjective assessment of coaching talent, though widely supported by peers and media.

Luke Fickle will be awesome at Wisconsin

And we hopefully will find somebody like Luke Fickle. Yes. Who I told you prior to the, you know, our taping here. I think he's awesome. Yeah. And I, all Wisconsin fans will not know what to do with themselves when like a fifth wide receiver steps on the field. Even once. I love him... He's funny, he's engaging, he's young. He's exactly who Wisconsin should be going for.

Luke Fickell has not been 'awesome' at Wisconsin. After going 7-6 in year one, he went 5-7 in 2024 with no bowl game. The hire has been disappointing so far.

The Detroit Lions will win the NFC North

Lions were one of 'em. Which I think we can all probably agree. They seem poised to make the playoffs. I think they win the division.

The Detroit Lions did indeed win the NFC North in the 2023-24 season.

The Falcons will make the playoffs in 2023

Falcons that division's completely wide open. Yeah. Who do you think wins it? The Saints. Just cuz they got Derek Carr. I mean, I need to see what that looks like. I like what they did on defense and I like the coach.

The Falcons finished 7-10 and missed the playoffs in 2023.
