Gonzaga is so good that you shouldn't overthink their dominance

Gonzaga had the classic situation tonight where everyone is so sick of how good Gonzaga is that they all said to themselves, USC is the toughest opponent they'll ever meet... And I tweeted, obviously I lost the Michigan bet, but I said, don't overthink it. Gonzaga's that good.

Gonzaga beat USC by 19 and reached the National Championship game, proving they were indeed 'that good', though they did eventually lose the final to Baylor.

10:00 PM tip-offs separate the real college basketball fans from the casuals

The late start times, I initially was like, you know what? This separates the casuals from the real fans like me, if you're willing to stay up until 10 for a tip-off. Two school nights in a row of 10 o'clock tip-offs. I think I've seen enough.

The concept of 'real fans' is subjective and cannot be definitively proven.

Zach Wilson's cross-body pro day throw was absolutely insane

Zach Wilson had an insane throw where he rolled out left and then cross body through towards the right pylon, like 70 yards in the air.

The throw was widely considered impressive by scouts and media at the time, though its translation to NFL success is a different story.

Mac Jones' pro day was not good and Bill Belichick was clearly unimpressed

As entertaining as it is, Mac Jones' pro day was not good... Bill Belichick was watching and he was like shaking his head no... He was putting the binoculars on the opposite way to look further away from Mac Jones because he was not happy.

This is a subjective evaluation of a player's performance and a coach's perceived body language.

UNC is one of the true blue blood jobs in college basketball

This is a job that doesn't come open very often. And it is a true blue blood job... It is the logo of a team that's won a ton of national titles and a ton of Final Fours. It is literally one of the blue bloods.

UNC's historical success, tournament wins, and titles objectively categorize them as a blue blood.

I've fallen hard and fast for Ben McCollum - he's a rock star coach

I've fallen hard and fast for Ben McCollum. He just wins everywhere. Ben McCollum always talking about toughness. I've fallen hard. I've read a lot of Ben McCollum this last week after beating Florida. This guy fucking rocks.

Subjective opinion on a coach's quality.

The Cubs are the second best team in the NL and will reach the NLCS

I think the Cubs are gonna be really fucking good. I think they're the second best team in the NL so I guess my expectations might be a little too high, but I think they're gonna be really, really good. I think they should definitely win the NL Central and be in the NLCS.

Predicting the Cubs to be the second-best team in the entire National League is a bold stance given the Dodgers and Braves.
