If Brooks Koepka wins the 2019 US Open, he is the 'new Tiger'

I want Brooks to win... If Brooks wins this one, he's the new Tiger. I'm going to say it. He's a Blake and a Tiger and a Brooks.

Brooks Koepka finished 2nd at the 2019 US Open, losing to Gary Woodland. Since then, while Koepka has won more majors, he hasn't reached Tiger-level ubiquity or sustained dominance.

Teams will still give Kevin Durant a max contract despite his Achilles injury

Teams are, I think it was Skip Bayless actually that was saying, are teams really going to want to pay for Kevin Durant? Let me stop you right now, Skip. Yeah, they're going to. Shut up, Knicks fans. You're still going to pay for Kevin Durant. He's still going to be awesome when he comes back.

The Brooklyn Nets signed Kevin Durant to a four-year, $164 million max contract on June 30, 2019, just weeks after this injury.

The Achilles injury should be renamed the 'Kobe Heel'

We need to rebrand the Achilles injury. We named it after a dude that lost a war like 5,000 years ago. And we're still calling it the Achilles. It should be the Kobe heel.

This is a subjective proposal for a linguistic rebrand.

You can't ask a player like Kevin Durant to change his style of play to accommodate an injury

Saying that [Durant] should change his game to fit the injury that he's coming off of... It is bullshit. It's like you don't tell a guy to completely change what they're doing and become like Klay Thompson if you're Kevin Durant. Only catch and shoot. Don't try to create anything off the dribble. Like you don't tell a lion, okay, only chase down a wildebeest if it's making a left.

This is a subjective opinion on athlete management and psychology.

The Brewers have the World Series sealed

I think the Brewers have this thing sealed up after an insane Monday night where they were just awesome.

The episode says Tampa Bay extended the series to Game 5, so the prediction was not yet resolved at the time of this transcript; the eventual World Series result is not established in the provided context.

There will be no MLB lockout

They'll figure it out. There's too much at stake. They'll figure it out. It's not 1994 anymore. They'll figure it out.

The transcript is from October 2026 and the provided context does not establish whether MLB games were ultimately missed.

A 24-team College Football Playoff is starting to make sense

I'm starting to grow on it. My problem is, I'm thinking about it in just this year where we actually had parity.

This is a subjective opinion about playoff format and cannot be definitively judged.
