Joel Embiid was high post-surgery based on his Villanova tweets

Joel Embiid who apparently after he broke his face he's been tweeting... oh yeah he's probably been high. Very high. Some of the tweets he had during the game was, 'Man, am I high?' I guess that's confirmed.

Embiid himself joked about being high on pain meds in the tweets Big Cat is referencing.

Gino Auriemma is on the hot seat after UConn's second straight Final Four loss

We need to start asking the question if women's college basketball is bad for UConn because they're 0 for 2 in the last two years. Gino [Auriemma] on the hot seat? I think we should put him there.

Gino Auriemma was never actually on the hot seat and continued to coach UConn to multiple Final Fours after this.

Michigan will lose to Villanova by at least 10 points in the National Championship

Michigan had like a five-minute run in the second half of their game against Loyola where they looked really, really, really good. If they can play that way for the entire game, maybe they'll lose by 10.

Villanova beat Michigan 79-62, a 17-point margin, which makes this prediction correct.

San Antonio is the worst city in America for cell phone reception

San Antonio not only has the most chips in any city ever, it also has the worst cell phone reception in any city ever. And we have not been able to tweet or do anything basically on our cell phones the entire weekend.

Likely an exaggeration caused by the high density of people at the Final Four saturating local towers.

The intentional-grounding penalty was the right play

I actually think he had, that's an OC problem because there was no underneath route. If he throws that deep and, like, everyone had—it just was a shit show. He couldn't throw it deep because he was basically getting chased. If he takes a sack, everyone has to come back. It probably is more than 10 seconds to get the next play. So that one, I had no problem.

Whether the decision was optimal is an inherently debatable football judgment.

The Colts needed a complete reset after Chris Ballard's firing

Chris Ballard was there for 10 years, never won an AFC South. You finally just—it's inexcusable. The Andrew Luck retirement is probably what bought Chris Ballard a lot more years. He basically could just keep on saying, 'Well, our plans were screwed up because Andrew Luck retired.'

This is an evaluative judgment about a general manager's tenure and cannot be objectively resolved.

The NBA should start on Christmas Day and play 60 games

The NBA should start on Christmas day. It should be a 60-game schedule. It'd be so much better.

This is a preference about league scheduling and cannot be objectively resolved.
