I am officially retiring from giving pregame speeches

I gave them [Tony Scheffler's team] a pump up speech before state quarterfinals. And then they lost by like 40. I'm retiring from the pregame speech. We'll stop doing speeches.

Big Cat continued to give ironic pregame speeches for years (e.g., for the Arizona Bowl).

I am going to be a major Major League Baseball fan this year

I've decided to own a fantasy baseball team in a $0 a year league on ESPN with random people. I am going to be a major league baseball fan this year. Just like of the entire league. Just of the stats.

PFT notoriously drops these bits within a month as he has a short attention span for non-football sports stats.

Gabe Kapler's 'win time of possession' strategy for the Giants might actually work in baseball

The Giants manager, Gabe Kapler, he has a message that's written on his whiteboard in his office that says, 'win time of possession.' ...controlled the pace of play and keep the defense on the field as long as possible so they get bored. I actually kind of believe that.

The 2021 Giants went on to win 107 games, the most in franchise history, proving Kapler's unorthodox management styles were highly effective that year.

The Justin Fields slander is a smokescreen by teams drafting in the 5-10 range who want him to fall

I just assume whenever we see like Justin Fields slander, it's a team somewhere in like the five to ten range that's hoping that Justin Fields will fall to [them]. It's definitely smokescreen season.

Fields did fall out of the top 10 to the 11th pick, validating the idea that teams allowed him to slide despite his talent.

Victor Wembanyama is already better than LeBron James

I'm gonna enjoy him because he's, he's like, I I said on Wednesday's show, he is, he's already better than LeBron. So I, that's how I'm gonna enjoy him.

Comparing players across eras or at different career stages is inherently subjective.

People only hate on Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's flopping because his play style is fundamentally boring

I actually think the problem with SGA more than anything is he's just boring. That's really what people are upset about. The flopping like sucks. But... more than anything he's just, he's boring because he is a lethal mid-range guy. He doesn't have flashy dunks. He's not doing... He's just methodically an exceptional basketball player.

Subjective analysis of fan sentiment regarding a player's style.

The Cavaliers-Knicks series is over after Game 1

Series over, you can't lose that game if you're the Cavs. When it went into overtime, we said the Cavs have to win this. This is must win. You can't give this up. All time choke.

The series has just begun as of the episode date.
