I will do 10 more years of Pardon My Take followed by another 10 after that

Here's to 10 more and then probably 10 more after that. Because what the... am I gonna do, this is the best thing in the world. We're going to ride it until we are the biggest old losers that everyone makes fun of.

This will take two decades to fully verify.

Winter is officially over and next week will be golf weather

I think it's the official end of winter. Winter's done. Next week it's gonna be 60. Get the golf shoes out, get the shorts out. We made it another year of winter in Chicago.

College basketball has five absolutely dominant teams this year

We have five, you could even maybe go to six, just absolutely dominant teams. Michigan, UConn, Duke, Arizona, and Florida that are playing at such an insane level.

Not five dominant teams. Florida (1 seed) lost in Round of 32 to 9 seed Iowa. Duke (1 overall) blew 19-point lead. Only Michigan and Arizona performed like dominant teams.

Florida can win the national championship because they can shoot threes now

Florida though, I've been talking about Florida for three weeks. They could shoot threes now. They absolutely kicked [Arkansas's]... They just throttle teams. All four of [Duke, Michigan, Arizona, Florida] would be the best team in the previous five years.

Florida (1 seed) was upset by 9 seed Iowa 73-72 in the Round of 32.

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.

Subjective opinion on marketing and league engagement.
