Mick Cronin is an awesome basketball coach

But we should also acknowledge the fact that Mick Cronin is a fucking awesome coach. I'm going to say Mick Cronin is a G. Yeah. And you know what? He is smooth. I'm not talking about his personality. I'm not talking about his coaching style. I'm talking about his body.

Cronin took UCLA from the First Four to the Final Four in 2021, and has since maintained them as a top national program.

The under is the best bet for the remainder of the NCAA Tournament

Unders are back big time, with the exception of this game that's happening right now and then that miracle overtime game with UCLA and Alabama. I think every under hit, right? So it's in the middle of the Oregon-USC game right now... But, yeah, unders are back.

The 2021 tournament was notoriously low-scoring in the later rounds, including the National Championship game which stayed well under the total.

Oregon State is the greatest team of all time

Oregon State, Loyola Chicago. Oregon State is just the greatest team of all time. And I'm going to say that about pretty much every team, just be warned that I don't have a lot in my repertoire right now, but they are the greatest team as of right now.

Oregon State reached the Elite Eight as a 12-seed, an incredible run, though they obviously weren't the greatest team of all time as they lost to Houston in the next game.

Baylor is beatable because they are a streaky shooting team

I'm caught between that they [Baylor] didn't play their best and still won, so they're really good, and they're beatable because they went three for 19 from three, and they were a little bit streaky. Their best players didn't play their A games.

Baylor went on to win the National Championship, proving they were the most dominant team in the field despite any perceived streakiness.

American sports dominance is officially over

Are we as a country washed? because this also is on the heels of shams announcing SGA back to back MVP and I think it's been like nine years, I believe eight years since an American has won the NBA MVP... and Aaron Rai, it's the second European to win a major this year and Europeans are now two and oh in majors for the first time since 1934.

While hyperbolically stated, the fact that international players have dominated NBA MVPs (Jokic, Giannis, Embiid, SGA) for nearly a decade is factual.

The Steelers will be stuck with a 7-10 win ceiling with Aaron Rodgers

Aaron Rodgers is back. I feel bad for Steelers fans... he's not the same quarterback... the Steelers just put a finite floor and ceiling on their season. Right? And it's somewhere between seven and 10 wins. That's what we're thinking.

Outcome depends on the 2026 NFL season results for the Steelers.

The Chicago White Sox are no longer a joke and could win the AL Central

White Sox are good. They're actually like, this is finally like, it's kind of, they're not a joke. They've got some sluggers. Big time dude... I don't know what the price is for them winning the AL Central, but they, they, they are not a bad team.

White Sox performance in the 2026 MLB season is ongoing.
