Kevin Durant requested a trade because he is sick of Kyrie Irving

Instant takes, turns out. He might not like Kyrie anymore. It turns out he might've thought, Hey, Kyrie, isn't that much fun to be around.

Durant and Irving were both eventually traded from the Nets within months of each other, and subsequent reports confirmed the instability of the Nets' core.

Gamblers should bet Northwestern at home at 11:00 AM versus USC when they join the Big Ten

I got to imagine that this is going to provide a great opportunity to gamblers out there who get to finally like hammer Northwestern at home versus USC at 11:00 AM when there's like a tornado in Chicago. And the Trojans quarterback has like never seen a cloud before.

USC played Northwestern at home in 2024 and won 31-23, though it wasn't a morning game or in a 'tornado'.

Adding USC and UCLA to the Big 10 is a more natural fit than Rutgers and Maryland

What made more sense? Like from a traditional standpoint, adding Rutgers and Maryland or USC and UCLA? Like this actually is more of a natural fit than Rutgers and Maryland were.

Subjective opinion on conference fit.

In 10 years, major college athletic programs will be separate entities from the schools

Probably like 10 years from now where schools are now, like the athletic programs, the big time college football and college basketball will just be separate from the school. They'll just have the name of that school... they won't have to follow fall under the jurisdiction of the NCAA and they'll just license the name out.

This is a long-term prediction. Trends in NIL and revenue sharing are moving in this direction, but it hasn't fully happened yet.

Miami of Ohio 100% deserves to be in the NCAA Tournament despite their first-round loss

I think a hundred percent they should be in. We need to just focus on the fact that there, I believe 31 and one and not do anything about strength of schedule. If you're able to go an entire season without losing a game that's hard to just wake up every day and not stumble once. I wanna see what happens when they play their first quad win one game in the middle of March.

This is part of the satirical 'Future' bit; Miami of Ohio was not 31-1 in 2026 (or 2024).

Conference tournaments are bad for top teams because they don't improve your seeding and lead to unnecessary fatigue

I'm kind of done with the conference tournaments. Like they just fuck you. It doesn't make your seed better and you end up being more tired today. If you have to play four games, you're just gonna get screwed.

The value of conference tournaments for high-seeded teams is a perennial debate in sports media.

Kyler Murray will be the next Sam Darnold now that he's with the Vikings

Kyler Murray is a Viking. We all kind of expected it. It happened. He's going to be the next Sam Darnold. The NFC North now has three number one picks at quarterback with Kyler Murray, Caleb Williams, Jared Goff. Kind of cool.

Kyler Murray did not sign with the Vikings; this is part of the episode bit.
