Robert Griffin III should rebrand himself as 'Bobby Griffin' to save his career

I got a new quarterback. He's this kid from Texas. He went to Baylor. He won a Heisman. His name is Bobby Griffin. Tell me that guy's not electric... I think Bobby Griffin gets the juices flowing in a GM's mind because you just need to repackage yourself. I'm not RG3 anymore. I'm Bobby Griffin.

RG3 did not change his name to Bobby Griffin, though the take is satirical in nature.

I'm not betting any over-unders in the NCAA Tournament this year

I've decided that I'm not going to bet any over-unders in the March Madness tournament. I had the realization that I lose all my money just betting overs because that's all I do. I never bet unders.

Big Cat frequently breaks these rules within hours, and specifically in this episode, Sam Dekker's advice later in the show convinces him to take overs.

Someone will eventually make a career out of just rewording Adam Schefter tweets

Some people are going to be really successful. There are going to be some people that make a career off of doing that [rewording other people's tweets] the best, and they'll eventually work their way to the top if they fake it long enough. The person who's going to be the best at marketing themselves doing that is going to be like a legitimate news source in 15 years.

This describes the entire modern sports media landscape of aggregation accounts like Dov Kleiman or MLFootball.

Every NCAA tournament team besides the 16 seeds is 'dangerous' and can 'make some noise'

The tourney is like I looked at the whole bracket besides the 16 seeds. Every team is dangerous. Every team you don't want to play. Every team can make some noise, which we will get into later. I have a list of all the make some noise teams.

This is a subjective mockery of sports media tropes, not a literal claim about team quality.

Kenny Atkinson's 'expected wins' quote is the biggest loser quote in professional sports history.

Kenny Atkinson, the coach of the Cleveland Cavaliers said after they were down 3-0 in the series that analytically they've won two of the games. If you look at the shot quality, if you look at the expected wins, they've won two of the games. Now, I don't want to be hyperbolic here, but I think that is the biggest loser quote that has ever been uttered in professional sports. I do not understand, find me a bigger loser quote than that.

Subjective opinion on the lameness of a coach's quote.

The New York Knicks have the best home court advantage in the entire NBA playoffs

They [Knicks] are so fucking good. And they have the best home court in the entire playoffs. And their fans, I don't know if they'll be able, I don't know if they'll go to OKC or San Antonio, but they take over every arena.

Subjective fan atmosphere metric.

The Oklahoma City Thunder are great for the NBA because they generate 'white-hot' hate from fans

I think though the white hot hate for the thunder, I think the thunder are awesome for the NBA. Because people hate 'em. I think they're great for the NBA. You want a team that everyone can galvanize behind and be like, we hate them.

Subjective opinion on marketing and league engagement.
