Conor McGregor is winning the press conferences but will lose the fight to Mayweather

If [McGregor] does go and get his ass kicked, which I think a lot of people probably lean that way... this is definitely a situation where he's winning the press conference and will most likely lose the fight.

Mayweather defeated McGregor via TKO in the 10th round on August 26, 2017.

Floyd Mayweather plays up his illiteracy to have an excuse for tax issues

I have kind of a stay woke actually on Mayweather. I think that Mayweather isn't actually illiterate but he likes to play it up because that way he has an excuse when he doesn't fill his taxes out correctly.

There is no evidence Mayweather's literacy is a calculated tax strategy; he has faced actual tax issues with the IRS.

Conor McGregor should just foul Floyd Mayweather to avoid an embarrassing boxing loss

What if [McGregor] just starts kicking and grabs Mayweather, throws him to the ground, just beats the shit out of him? Obviously he loses the fight, it's a DQ, but he would beat the shit out of Mayweather. That way you don't have to suffer an embarrassing loss and you get paid a shitload of money.

McGregor did not do this; he fought a standard boxing match and lost by TKO in the 10th round.

The Jose Quintana trade is a win-win for both the Cubs and the White Sox

The White Sox and Cubs actually pulled off a trade, and I actually like it for both sides... maybe the Cubs got exactly what they needed, a cost-controlled arm, and the White Sox keep building. ... You're getting the sure thing right now to keep your window open.

The trade is widely viewed as a massive win for the White Sox, who received Dylan Cease and Eloy Jimenez, while Quintana was solid but not spectacular for the Cubs.

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.
