I would rather break my hip than have the hiccups for an entire year

I would absolutely say if you said, Hey, you can break your hip or you can have hiccups for a year. I'd take the broken hip all day, every day. Cause at least you know, like, this is how I can rehab and I know that there's an end in sight.

Personal preference on suffering, impossible to verify but stated with high conviction.

If you are a top five player, you have to be able to pull your team out of the depths of hell

If you're a top five guy—and actually Jayson Tatum said it after the game, humbly, 'I'm one of the best players in the world'—if you're that guy, you have to be able to take your team out of the depths of hell in those moments. And that's exactly what [Tatum] did.

This is a subjective standard for superstardom.

NBA Game 7s are a completely different animal where momentum means nothing

Momentum doesn't matter. That's one thing that I've learned is momentum means nothing. Because going into this series, going into this game, all the, all the momentum was going towards the Sixers after the Celtics won two, it looked like the Sixers were dead. Momentum means nothing. Game seven is one game. Throw out everything else.

The Celtics won Game 7 decisively (112-88), arguably carrying the momentum from their Game 6 road win.

The pairing of James Harden and Doc Rivers in a Game 7 does not look good on paper

If you have James Harden and Doc Rivers with their powers combined in a game seven, that doesn't look very good for the 76ers on paper.

This proved correct as the Sixers were blown out in Game 7 and Doc Rivers was subsequently fired.

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.
