2018 is the 'Year of the Blake' because Griffin and Bortles are back

Cool Throne, I have Blake. Blake's. Plural. Both of our Blake's. Blake Griffin, 50 Burger... and Blake Bortles, named starter. So we're back. It's been a big year for Blakes.

Both Blakes had temporary resurgences in late 2018, though Bortles would be benched again shortly after.

The Dodgers' bullpen is their one true weakness

The bullpen wasn't great for the Dodgers. That's their one weakness that they have. Bullpen pitchers are just pitchers that couldn't be starting pitchers.

The Dodgers bullpen struggled in the 2018 World Series, particularly in Game 4 where they blew a 4-0 lead.

An ugly win provides a bigger confidence boost than a pretty close win

An ugly win is actually worth more than a pretty close win. Because if you can win ugly, that's like a confidence boost. Like, okay, we didn't have our stuff [but we still won].

Subjective sports psychology take.

Eli Manning is no longer a good quarterback

Eli Manning is not a good quarterback anymore... That means he was a good quarterback, two Super Bowl rings, Hall of Famer, all that stuff. He's not a good quarterback anymore, and I can't stand the offensive line talk because, yes, the offensive line is bad, but Eli Manning is the king of pressures coming, just turtle, and not look downfield.

Eli Manning's stats and eye test in 2018-2019 confirmed he was at the end of his career.

Victor Wembanyama is already better than LeBron James

I'm gonna enjoy him because he's, he's like, I I said on Wednesday's show, he is, he's already better than LeBron. So I, that's how I'm gonna enjoy him.

Comparing players across eras or at different career stages is inherently subjective.

People only hate on Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's flopping because his play style is fundamentally boring

I actually think the problem with SGA more than anything is he's just boring. That's really what people are upset about. The flopping like sucks. But... more than anything he's just, he's boring because he is a lethal mid-range guy. He doesn't have flashy dunks. He's not doing... He's just methodically an exceptional basketball player.

The Cavaliers-Knicks series is over after Game 1

Series over, you can't lose that game if you're the Cavs. When it went into overtime, we said the Cavs have to win this. This is must win. You can't give this up. All time choke.

The series has just begun as of the episode date.
