Doc Rivers has had zero impact on the 76ers since arriving

Dr. Rivers got there. He's been there for two years... they've literally just gone. It was like, they, they they've been just doing the same thing year after year after year, Dr. Rivers has had no impact on it. They were on the exact same trajectory and he's like, we were a mess when I got here, but I fixed it all to get us right back to where we were.

The Sixers continued to struggle with second-round exits and eventually fired Doc Rivers in 2023, largely confirming the stagnation narrative.

The James Harden for Ben Simmons trade was a lose-lose for both teams

I think you go back to the trade and neither team won. It was the classic lose-lose trade, like both teams in, in a weird way, got a little bit worse from this trade.

Both teams struggled significantly post-trade; Simmons barely played for Brooklyn and Harden eventually forced his way out of Philly after more playoff disappointment.

I am the last person in the world who still believes in Ben Simmons

I'm, I'm, I'm the one sucker alive that still believes in Ben Simmons. So I'm like nets could still get some out of them. Crazy, stupid irrational. So I'm not giving up on Ben Simmons. I'm the last person in the world because I'm like six, 10 point cards don't grow on trees.

Ben Simmons' career continued to decline due to injuries and mental hurdles, making the belief that he could still be an elite piece incorrect.

The 'Process' is overrated and Nick Saban is full of shit

I think Nick Saban's full of shit. I think the process is overrated. We're results guys on the podcast, right? It's oh bad. I don't care about the process... just give me the result. I don't care how we get there.

The Sixers' 'Process' era is widely viewed as a failure given they never reached a Conference Final with the core it produced.

American sports dominance is officially over

Are we as a country washed? because this also is on the heels of shams announcing SGA back to back MVP and I think it's been like nine years, I believe eight years since an American has won the NBA MVP... and Aaron Rai, it's the second European to win a major this year and Europeans are now two and oh in majors for the first time since 1934.

While hyperbolically stated, the fact that international players have dominated NBA MVPs (Jokic, Giannis, Embiid, SGA) for nearly a decade is factual.

The Steelers will be stuck with a 7-10 win ceiling with Aaron Rodgers

Aaron Rodgers is back. I feel bad for Steelers fans... he's not the same quarterback... the Steelers just put a finite floor and ceiling on their season. Right? And it's somewhere between seven and 10 wins. That's what we're thinking.

Outcome depends on the 2026 NFL season results for the Steelers.

The Chicago White Sox are no longer a joke and could win the AL Central

White Sox are good. They're actually like, this is finally like, it's kind of, they're not a joke. They've got some sluggers. Big time dude... I don't know what the price is for them winning the AL Central, but they, they, they are not a bad team.

White Sox performance in the 2026 MLB season is ongoing.
