The New York Liberty will be the next New York team to win a championship

The honest question is probably the liberty. ...I love their team. I love Stewie and all I love the whole team. I think they could do it this year.

The Liberty lost in the 2023 WNBA Finals to the Aces shortly after this episode aired, but Sam was right that they were the closest NY team to a title (and they won in 2024).

Ron Rivera should never be called 'Riverboat Ron' again

Ron Rivera just kicked another field goal. The Bears have won. He loves field goals. That guy loves field goals, so we should never ever call him riverboat Ron again after this game and the game against the Eagles, he's, he's lost riverboat Ron. He's no longer riverboat. Ron.

Rivera continued to face criticism for conservative decision-making throughout the season and was eventually fired in January 2024.

Justin Fields is a good quarterback and I was right for not wavering on him

I'm oh, I'm thinking Justin Fields is a good quarterback. I was right about that. Credit to me for not wavering on that take.

Fields had a brief resurgence in late 2023 but was ultimately traded to the Steelers after the season as the Bears opted for Caleb Williams.

The Bears are going to go 4-1 over their next five games

I did look at the schedule coming up and I've convinced myself they could potentially go four and one in the next five... Vikings, Raiders, chargers, saints, Panthers. And I was like, that could be four and one.

The Bears went 2-3 over that stretch (Loss to Vikings, Win vs Raiders, Loss to Chargers, Loss to Saints, Win vs Panthers).

Jalen Brunson is a top 10 player in the NBA

I can't remember loving a player this much... I think it's fair to say he's at, he's in the convo of a top 10 guy in my opinion. He's definitely in my top 10.

Subjective ranking, though Brunson finished top 5 in MVP voting in 2024.

The ESPN NBA halftime show is terrible compared to TNT's Inside the NBA

I don't wanna watch [Stephen A. Smith's] halftime show. It's awful. When they go from TNT to him, I'm like, this is the biggest turnaround [downgrade] I've ever seen. ... It's just not good TV to me.

Media quality is inherently subjective.

Jayson Tatum has no aura

Boston is an amazing team, but they're just not fun. No. Tatum is not fun. He has no Aura. Tatum is like, once your mom starts being like, this isn't fair. It's like, shut the fuck up dude... No, you don't get greatness from a supportive mom. You need a bit of like, yeah, maybe he should be on the bench.

Aura is an inherently subjective social media concept.
