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.

The Brewers' pressure created their 'lucky' breaks

That's not luck. That's just the Brewers and what they did to you mentally, where it's like you have to be perfect and almost made teams just become a worse version of themselves because of what the Brewers were doing to them.

This is an evaluative baseball argument rather than a claim with one definitive result.

The Bears are building around Jeffrey Simmons correctly

Jeffrey Simmons is an absolute game wrecker. Top three at his position, changes everyone around him. The Bears had a weakness in their defense, especially run defense. They made it a strength.

The assessment of Simmons' impact and positional ranking is partly subjective and will depend on his Chicago performance.

Jeffrey Simmons makes the Bears Super Bowl contenders

I thought they could win the Super Bowl before Jeffrey Simmons. Now I really do.

The 2026 NFL season and Super Bowl outcome have not yet been resolved from the episode date.
