Bengals rookie Shamar Stewart has all the leverage in his contract holdout

Shamar Stewart Bengal's first round pick... could reenter the 2026 NFL draft. If he remains unsigned and the Bengals don't sign him by the deadline... Shamar Stewart has all the cards. He can just train for a year.

A rookie re-entering the draft is extremely rare and usually results in lower draft stock, so 'all the cards' is likely a hyperbole.

The Oilers will start Stuart Skinner in Game 5 despite his benching

He's gonna start game five. I think they'll go back to him. I mean, he got 'em there. Obviously the last two, whatever four periods have not looked good, losing six-one and then tonight in the first period. But I think they'll go back to him.

In the 2024 Stanley Cup Finals (which the transcript events describe), Skinner did start Game 5 and helped the Oilers win.

The Oilers will win the Stanley Cup Finals in six games

Oilers in six. I don't wanna go to Edmonton for seven, maybe, maybe, but Oilers in six there.

The Oilers lost the 2024 Finals in seven games to the Panthers.

Hockey has tricked fans into loving overtime by simply taking away the fourth quarter

I have a question for you... has hockey tricked us into saying free hockey just by taking away the fourth quarter. And then whenever it gets to the fourth quarter, we're so grateful to have a fourth quarter.

This is a subjective observation about fan psychology.

Ben Johnson ran the illegal play wrong on purpose

I think Ben Johnson ran it wrong on purpose to put something on tape that then he can run a variation off of it.

This is an interpretation of coaching intent that cannot be definitively verified from the game broadcast.

The Bears are good

I think the Bears are good.

Whether the 2026 Bears are 'good' is ultimately a season-level subjective assessment.

The NFL is testing its way toward Tuesday and Wednesday games

Florio basically was like the NFL is testing out putting teams three times in a row on primetime because we're going to get to a point where they start playing Tuesday and Wednesday games. And I believe it.

This can be evaluated if the NFL introduces regular Tuesday or Wednesday games as described.
