October is the best sports month, but March is a close second

I think October is probably my favorite month in terms of sports because you have football and baseball playoffs. But March is pretty close because there is nothing like wall-to-wall college basketball and championship week.

Subjective ranking of calendar months based on sports volume.

Championship week is better than the NCAA Tournament

Hot take championship week might be better than the tournament. Because you actually know the teams, unlike in the March Madness, when you're like, I don't know how these teams are going to match up.

Subjective sports preference, but it's a common contrarian view among hardcore college basketball fans and gamblers.

Tom Izzo is on the hot seat if Michigan State doesn't reach the Sweet 16

Final Four or bust, is Tom Izzo on the hot seat? You've got to say, if he gets bounced before the Sweet 16, he's on that hot seat.

Michigan State lost in the Second Round to Syracuse. Despite the early exit, Tom Izzo remained the head coach with high job security, making the 'hot seat' claim incorrect.

How close is Sean Miller to owning ESPN? Very close, it sounds like. He's got the keys. He's got a swipe card to the Bristol cafeteria. He's deciding whether to just eat it all or maybe save a little for Bill Polian, who still thinks everything's free.

This was a satirical claim about Sean Miller's leverage over ESPN; Miller never actually owned or took over the network.

Ben Johnson ran the illegal play wrong on purpose

I think Ben Johnson ran it wrong on purpose to put something on tape that then he can run a variation off of it.

This is an interpretation of coaching intent that cannot be definitively verified from the game broadcast.

The Bears are good

I think the Bears are good.

Whether the 2026 Bears are 'good' is ultimately a season-level subjective assessment.

The NFL is testing its way toward Tuesday and Wednesday games

Florio basically was like the NFL is testing out putting teams three times in a row on primetime because we're going to get to a point where they start playing Tuesday and Wednesday games. And I believe it.

This can be evaluated if the NFL introduces regular Tuesday or Wednesday games as described.
