Markelle Fultz has the yips

Markel Fultz stinks... He's got the yips. And what's a great solution to the yips? Jimmy Butler, who's going to come in and basically walk in and say, I'm the alpha.

Fultz was later diagnosed with thoracic outlet syndrome, though debate continues on how much was physical vs. psychological.

Eli Manning is definitely going to be in the Hall of Fame

He's going to be in the Hall of Fame, which we can embrace debate. I actually looked through his numbers. I did some deep diving. It's interesting to be like he's a Hall of Famer for sure and then look at his career and be like half the seasons you had to even ask if he was good.

Eli Manning was not inducted into the Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility (2025 class), despite being a finalist. He is a finalist again for the 2026 class. The take said 'definitely going to be in' — he likely will eventually, but he wasn't first-ballot.

The Rams will have 'super strength' by training at high altitude before returning to sea level

The LA Rams went to Colorado Springs to practice in altitude all week... Will they have super strength by going back down to sea level? Okay, so yes. I was going to say, if there's any other answer, then yes, you're wrong.

While training at altitude has physiological benefits, 'super strength' is a hyperbolic term. The Rams did beat the Chiefs in a high-scoring game following this.

Kevin Durant is definitely leaving the Warriors in free agency

The Golden State Warriors are imploding. And now, this is probably an overreaction. Everything you're about to listen to is an overreaction, but this is what, when a team wins as much as the Warriors, we have to overreact... and they all just go their separate ways.

Kevin Durant did leave the Warriors for the Brooklyn Nets in July 2019.

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.
