Paying a running back is never worth it

Tell me when paying running back is worth it. It's never worth it. It sounds like a good idea at the time. And if you're a new head coach, this is such a new head coach move... it's like ordering shots of Jagermeister. Well, sounds good. And then later on it's like having sex raw dog. It's good in the moment. Nine months later you're like, 'fuck, I definitely should have done that.'

Historically, teams that pay running backs huge contracts rarely win Super Bowls during those contracts (e.g., Ezekiel Elliott, Todd Gurley).

A star-studded WrestleMania would be the most electric event to kick off the return of sports

If there was going to be one event that's like kicking off sports being back, a star-studded WrestleMania where it's like this is the event tonight. You have all the celebrity cameos, you're gonna have all the athletes, all the crowd, and then it's like starting after tonight sports are back on. It would be the most electric event of all time.

This is a subjective hypothetical about what would be most 'electric'.

Aaron Rodgers is the fourth greatest quarterback since 1980

My number four [is] Aaron Rodgers. Aaron Rodgers is the best quarterback that I've ever seen in terms of like the throws he can make, everything that they can do. Now granted the last couple years not as great, but in his prime... the Packers were never out of a game.

Subjective quarterback ranking.

Dan Marino was Patrick Mahomes before Patrick Mahomes

Dan Marino had five years where he led the league in passing... he was like Patrick Mahomes before Patrick Mahomes. When you talking about his second year in the league when he had 48 touchdowns in 1984... which is fucking ridiculous.

Statistically, Marino's 1984 season was as much of an outlier as Mahomes' 2018 season.

Victor Wembanyama is already better than LeBron James

I'm gonna enjoy him because he's, he's like, I I said on Wednesday's show, he is, he's already better than LeBron. So I, that's how I'm gonna enjoy him.

Comparing players across eras or at different career stages is inherently subjective.

People only hate on Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's flopping because his play style is fundamentally boring

I actually think the problem with SGA more than anything is he's just boring. That's really what people are upset about. The flopping like sucks. But... more than anything he's just, he's boring because he is a lethal mid-range guy. He doesn't have flashy dunks. He's not doing... He's just methodically an exceptional basketball player.

Subjective analysis of fan sentiment regarding a player's style.

The Cavaliers-Knicks series is over after Game 1

Series over, you can't lose that game if you're the Cavs. When it went into overtime, we said the Cavs have to win this. This is must win. You can't give this up. All time choke.

The series has just begun as of the episode date.
