Clay Matthews might be over the hill because of his slow reaction time

I think Clay Matthews might be over the hill because his reaction time was really bad. It was pretty slow. Really slow. This was a softball... You should be able to get your glove up.

Clay Matthews had only 3.5 sacks in 2018, his lowest total to that point, and was released by the Packers after the season, suggesting Big Cat was somewhat prescient about his decline.

I think the Cavaliers will win at least one game at home in the Finals

I do think the Cavs will win a game at home. But that was like... When David West is hitting threes, when JaVale McGee and Sean Livingston go 11 for 1...

The Warriors won Games 3 and 4 in Cleveland, sweeping the series 4-0.

Steph Curry could finally win Finals MVP to get the torch passed to him

But the big knock on Steph Curry was he was never the best guy in the finals when his teams won. And tonight he was the best guy for the Warriors. So now Steph Curry, could he finally get the torch passed to him for an offseason by winning an MVP?

Kevin Durant was named Finals MVP for the second consecutive year in 2018.

Michigan was definitively the better team in the National Championship and it never felt like UConn was in danger of winning.

Michigan was the better team. We all saw it. It never felt like [the game] was in danger. Like the only moment that I was like, oh, UConn might have a chance, was when there was like maybe five and a half minutes left and Mullens missed that three to cut it to four.

The episode presents Michigan winning the 2026 National Championship as a fact within the show's timeline.

Michigan was the best team all year — outside of Duke, who would have won the championship by a lot

They were the best team. They were the best team all year outside of Duke. 'Cause that actually was my other big takeaway — Duke just completely, Duke beat this Michigan team a month and a half ago.

Subjective comparison of team quality. Duke did beat Michigan during the regular season in 2025-26.

Danny Hurley is 18-1 against the spread in his last four NCAA tournaments, which is insane

Danny Hurley remains 18 and one in the last four tournaments against the spread. How insane is that? Furman is the only one that they didn't cover. That was the first round this year.

This is a factual claim about Hurley's ATS record over the last four NCAA tournaments. Based on UConn's remarkable tournament run, this is plausible and presented as a known stat. Cannot fully verify exact record but the claim is stated as fact.
