Drew Dalman's retirement is a massive blow to the Bears' offensive line

The first instant reaction was fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck. Then you have to be a human about it and realize like, hey, the guy's able to walk away while he still feels healthy. That's awesome for Drew Dalman. And then it's right back to fuck, fuck, fuck. Because... the offensive line was a significant strength... and now they go into the draft and it's like, fuck.

Duke is the best team in the country and it would be an all-time failure if they don't win the title

This is the best team in the country. It would be an all time epic failure if Duke doesn't win the national title. They are the first time I believe that a team has reached plus 40 in Ken Palm since 1999. Duke... This team has it all.

Duke was #1 overall seed and blew a 19-point halftime lead to lose 73-72 to UConn in Elite Eight. It was an all-time failure — Duke was 134-0 when leading by 15+ at half in tournament history.

If Duke loses this year, they will be a dynasty of chokers

If they lose this year, that would without question be the best two year... they'd be a dynasty of chokers. Like back to back all time choking losses in the NCAA tournament. I hope that doesn't happen, PFT. We would've never seen anything close to this before.

Duke blew a 19-point halftime lead in 2026 Elite Eight to UConn, one year after a 2025 Final Four collapse. Two consecutive years as top team with epic collapses validates 'dynasty of chokers.'

Duke not winning the national title would be the most consequential sports story of all time

I think it would be the biggest sports story of all time. If Duke did not win the national title this year. All time. I think all time story... Duke not winning at all this year would be the biggest, the most consequential sports story of all time. Not our lifetimes of all time.

Duke's Elite Eight collapse was a massive story but calling it 'the most consequential sports story of all time' is hyperbolic by nature. Subjective claim.

Kenny Atkinson's 'expected wins' quote is the biggest loser quote in professional sports history.

Kenny Atkinson, the coach of the Cleveland Cavaliers said after they were down 3-0 in the series that analytically they've won two of the games. If you look at the shot quality, if you look at the expected wins, they've won two of the games. Now, I don't want to be hyperbolic here, but I think that is the biggest loser quote that has ever been uttered in professional sports. I do not understand, find me a bigger loser quote than that.

Subjective opinion on the lameness of a coach's quote.

The New York Knicks have the best home court advantage in the entire NBA playoffs

They [Knicks] are so fucking good. And they have the best home court in the entire playoffs. And their fans, I don't know if they'll be able, I don't know if they'll go to OKC or San Antonio, but they take over every arena.

Subjective fan atmosphere metric.

The Oklahoma City Thunder are great for the NBA because they generate 'white-hot' hate from fans

I think though the white hot hate for the thunder, I think the thunder are awesome for the NBA. Because people hate 'em. I think they're great for the NBA. You want a team that everyone can galvanize behind and be like, we hate them.
