Chris Bosh is the rare example of a player who actually gained 'that dog in him' after joining the Heat

What about Chris Bosh? Did he kind of get a little dog with the heat? Because remember he at the Raptors, he was called Soft. He might be the example of a guy who gained some dog. He got heat culture. Got Dwayne Wade, he got Haslem, LeBron. Getting him tougher.

Subjective assessment of a player's mentality and career arc.

Betting on the Heat to win the series while up 3-0 was a 'sharp' bet based on expected value and ROI

It was a plus expected value on the bet, by the way... I was getting 10% return on investment. It should have been about 5% given the history of the NBA in three-nothing leads. So it was a sharp bet. I don't regret anything. I'm a process guy, not a results guy.

The Heat did eventually win the series, so the bet paid out, though the 'sharpness' is subjective.

If the Celtics win Game 6 in Miami, Game 7 at home is a guaranteed win

Game six is definitely a tossup. But if you win Game six, game seven at home is ours.

The Celtics won Game 6 in dramatic fashion but then famously lost Game 7 at home to the Heat.

Joe Mazzulla visiting a hospital before Game 5 is 'Gary V adjacent' and psycho behavior

He said watching a girl dying and smiling and enjoying her life, that's what it's really all about. So he gained some perspective. It's kind of some psycho shit, but I guess it's nice... it is Gary V adjacent what he's doing. He's just reminding, he's trying to force himself to work harder by looking at people who are dying.

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.
