Losing in college hurts more than the pros because you aren't millionaires yet

In professional sports, if you lose, there's no real losers in the NFL, MLB or NBA hockey... you're all millionaires... it's like, well, I'll go home in my Maserati and call it a night. And college, it's different.

This is a subjective perspective from a former high-level athlete.

The 2017 UConn women's team are frauds

The UConn women's team lost. So they're bad for college basketball, but for a different way because they're frauds now. So I'm the first person on the Fire Gino train.

OpinionCBBScorchingSarcastic
The UConn women had won 111 straight games before this loss; calling them 'frauds' is purely satirical.

The Red Sox and Mariners will meet in the ALCS, the Cubs and Mets in the NLCS, and the Red Sox will beat the Mets in the World Series

I think the Red Sox and the Mariners are going to be in the ALCS... Cubs-Mets [in the NLCS]... Red Sox-Mets [World Series].

The 2017 World Series was Astros vs. Dodgers. The Mariners didn't make the playoffs, and the Mets finished 70-92.

The Nationals will win the 2017 World Series

I've got the Nats and the Dodgers [in the NLCS]... and then I'm going with the Red Sox [in the AL]... Red Sox-Nats [World Series]. World Series champion? Nats.

The Nationals did not win the World Series in 2017; the Astros did.

John Stockton never stretched before games or practices during his career

John never stretched. I don't think anybody would believe it. He'd warm up, go up and down maybe twice with a basketball and then go 'Alright, let's go' and just bust everybody's asses. Unbelievable... he played 16 years without missing a game. So I guess it worked for John.

Stockton's durability and lack of traditional stretching routines are well-documented parts of his NBA lore.

Gonzaga is America's team because everyone's main team is secondary to them

I would describe us [Gonzaga] as America's team because we're always like, right? You have your main team, but everybody kind of cheers for Gonzaga, right?

Subjective claim about national perception of a mid-major powerhouse.

A major college basketball coach always knows when players are getting paid

There's no way a coach of a major program doesn't know exactly what's going on at his program. 100%. Totally agree. ... Especially with the sneaker companies doing that type of stuff, you have to kind of know that somebody's getting greased on the backside.

While often suspected, the degree of specific knowledge by head coaches is a matter of debate and varies by program.
