Roger Goodell is actually awesome at his job despite everyone hating him

For everything that he has hated for and he's hated for a lot... he does an incredible job. It's like he was designed in a lab just to absorb blows and make a shitload of money for the NFL. And he's done both, like basically the best you could possibly do.

Goodell's metrics (revenue growth, labor peace) are factually strong from the owners' perspective, which is his primary audience.

The St. Louis Cardinals lost America the World Baseball Classic

The St. Louis Cardinals have lost America. I mean, Paul Goldschmidt just hitting into a double play when we had a little rally going... if we're doing the blame, I think I'd start with those guys. Get some hits in some big moments and maybe we can be sitting here bragging about the US being the best in baseball.

Goldschmidt and Arenado were 1-for-7 combined in the final, supporting the claim they didn't show up in the big moment.

The Los Angeles Angels were the biggest losers of the World Baseball Classic

I felt really the big loser of tonight was the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim because... that last at-bat... Shohei Ohtani striking out Mike Trout... these two guys right now, two of the best baseball players to ever play the sport.

The Angels missed the playoffs again in 2023, and Ohtani left for the Dodgers shortly after.

UCLA will beat Gonzaga in the Sweet 16

I'm going with the Bruins because they're defensively, I think they're in line even without [Jaylen] Clark. And to me, as good as Gonzaga is, I don't trust their back court. And I do trust Tiger Campbell.

Gonzaga defeated UCLA 79-76.

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.
