Ben Simmons will hit a three-pointer in his first game back in the NBA bubble

I guarantee in [Ben Simmons'] first game, he'll hit a three... in this environment, he'll shoot it because the anxiety won't be there.

Ben Simmons did not hit a three-pointer in his first bubble game against the Indiana Pacers on August 1, 2020. He finished 0-0 from deep.

NFL owners will never force Dan Snyder to sell because they all have similar skeletons in their closets

I think that the other NFL owners, and I think a lot of NFL teams are going to look at this report and be like, well, we can't force [Dan] Snyder to sell because we all have some of the same stuff probably happening under our own roofs.

Snyder was eventually forced out by pressure from other owners and financial issues, but it took three more years (sold in 2023) and multiple investigations.

Media members who hyped the Redskins report to boost their own social cloud are douchebags

The media part pisses me off to no end because anyone who said out loud, there's a big report coming just to flex their own muscles and boost their own fucking social cloud and say, I know something you don't know... you're a douchebag because you basically made it about that.

The best part of being a Redskins fan for the last 23 years was beating a spleenless Chris Simms in the playoffs

The number one best part of the [Dan] Snyder era was we won a playoff game. We beat Chris Simms on the road in a playoff game, and we scored one offensive touchdown... he beat a spleenless quarterback by seven points and scored a touchdown on offense.

While satirical, the Redskins truly had very few highlights under Snyder; this 2005 wild card win was indeed one of only two playoff wins during his entire tenure.

LeBron James is not currently a top-five player of all time

Is [LeBron James] on a trajectory to jump into the top five of all time? For sure. But with three championships and he's still on that trajectory, he's not there yet, in my opinion... I would have Bill Russell, Michael Jordan, Wilt Chamberlain [ahead of him].

NBA players will play better in the bubble because there is no away crowd or travel anxiety

The lack of anxiety is going to allow players that you probably didn't think were great players go out... they're going to play better. So if you want your things, some guys are going to average more than 10 points that typically don't.

The 2020 bubble saw significantly higher offensive efficiency and several 'bubble breakout' stars like TJ Warren and Tyler Herro, validating this take.

The Rockets would have beaten Michael Jordan's Bulls in the mid-90s because the Bulls were too small without Horace Grant

I think the reason they lost to Orlando, even when Michael [Jordan] came back... I just think his team wasn't good enough because Horace [Grant] was in Orlando. So they were small, Shaq killing him inside... If they had Rodman, I'd have been like, I don't know... but without Horace Grant and without Rodman, no, I don't think they would have done it.
