Jimmy Butler is an incredible bargain because he signed his max contract before the salary cap spiked

I dropped Jimmy Butler contract truth, because Jimmy Butler is actually a great deal. He signed the max contract before the new salary cap, so he's going to be cheap for the next three years.

Butler signed a 5-year, $95M deal in 2015; by 2017 standards, this was considered high value relative to the new cap.

Larry II committed suicide because he couldn't face an NFL offseason without football

Possible suicide because Larry was a football guy. He loved gambling. He was really good at it. He liked the games. He got a little taste of what the offseason looked like... the week without football really crushed him, and he couldn't bear looking ahead to the next six months without any games.

The goldfish died of natural causes/poor care, not suicide.

Buddy Hield should retire in a year or two because he is an old rookie

Buddy Hield is also, like, he's the Chris Weinke type, where everyone's like, oh, Buddy Hield's a nice young piece, and it's like, well, actually, he was a four-year starter, and he's like 25 years old. Oh, okay, well, Buddy Hield should retire in a year or two.

Buddy Hield had a long, productive career after this, playing many seasons in the NBA beyond 'a year or two.'

The Warriors vs. Pelicans first-round series will be lame because Draymond Green will just punch Boogie Cousins in the dick

So what you're going end up seeing here is the Warriors taking on the Pelicans in the first round... I'm here to tell you that it's not [going to be awesome]. It's going to be lame. Draymond Green, all he does is punch people in the dick, and getting punched in the dick is real weakness in [Boogie Cousins'] game.

The Pelicans finished 10th in the West and missed the playoffs entirely in 2017.

The Chargers' game against the Raiders is a must-win

The Chargers might have the most must-win game of all time playing the Raiders with the schedule they have. If they don't win this week, it's over.

The Chargers' season outcome and whether the loss effectively ended their season had not been resolved at the time of the episode.

Texas won; Ohio State choked

I'll say Texas win, Ryan Day choke. The play calling, I don't know, maybe they got too conservative. I think they probably did.

This is a retrospective interpretation of the game rather than a purely objective claim; assigning primary blame is subjective.

Oregon is probably out if it loses to USC

The USC game will be massive. If Oregon loses that game, they're probably out.

Oregon's playoff status after the USC game was still unresolved at the time of the episode.
