LeBron James added six years to his career by missing the playoffs last year

I swear to God last year like just probably added another six years to his career just being able to sit out... it's incredible that he's still [playing like this].

LeBron led the Lakers to a title in 2020 and has remained elite well into his late 30s.

I think we're going to break the record this year for the amount of times 'This is March' is uttered

I think we're going to break a record this year for the amount of times 'This is March' has uttered shout-out to our friend John Rothstein for creating that phrase.

The phrase became a massive staple of the show's March coverage in 2020 (until the tournament was canceled due to COVID-19).

Tony Romo shouldn't have signed for $17M if it means he can't skip games for golf tournaments

Does [Romo] get to skip certain games to go playing golf tournament still? ... if he's getting paid that much ... Tony Romo can't sneak away to play in like the Bob Hope program ... is it really worth it?

The take is subjective based on personal values regarding work-life balance versus $17 million.

ESPN wanted Tony Romo so the NFL would give them better matchups

I think they were just ESPN was thinking if we get [Romo] in our booth then maybe we'll get like some Steelers Patriots matchups on Monday Night Football figure it out later... having a guy that Roger Goodell likes working for your company will make Roger Goodell just like give you all the business advantages.

While speculative, networks often use high-profile booths to lobby for better game slates, and ESPN did eventually get a better schedule with the addition of Buck and Aikman later.

Spain is entering a period of absolute soccer dominance and will win the next Euro.

They won the Euro two years ago. They won the World Cup. They're probably gonna win the Euro in two years. They're just different generation dominating soccer.

Euro 2028 has not happened yet.

Goals scored in the World Cup third-place game should not count toward the Golden Boot.

I also had one bone to pick. The third place game, which is hilarious that they still do this... The fact that those goals count for the Golden Boot is such bullshit. That's stupid. That should not count. Like that's not a real game.

This is a subjective opinion about tournament rules.

LeBron James will announce his free agency decision tonight.

I'm fully expecting him to announce at 9:00 PM tonight. Yep. Like shit like that where it's like, I went to a movie on Thursday night. I was like, oh, LeBron's gonna fucking announce during the movie. He's, he's now fucking us... I think that's what's gonna happen. I think he's gonna decide tonight.

Depends on exactly when LeBron actually announced his decision following this episode.
