Signing Aaron Judge to a mega-deal was a mistake

Build around Aaron Judge. ... I don't know if you wanna build around Aaron Judge. He's like 32 isn't he? They just signed him to a mega deal. I know that was a mistake. ... He's gonna be 32 before next season. Okay. Whew. And he's got like 14 years left on his contract.

Judge won the 2024 AL MVP and had an all-time great season, making the 'mistake' label look very early.

The Steelers are my surprise team for the 2023 season

Kenny Pickett. Yes. Two touchdown drives. Diced them up. Diced him up. ... Steelers Look ready to go. Steelers are my surprise team. Yeah. No one's talking about the Steelers. We are.

The Steelers finished 10-7 and made the playoffs as a Wild Card, but they weren't a major 'surprise' contender in the AFC.

Trey Lance sucks and doesn't know how to play football

Trey Lance sucks. Yeah. Well that's, doesn't even know how to play football. ... The one clip of him throwing, just standing there with no pressure while guys were open, feeling pressure that wasn't there, and then mis-throwing it. That was a bad look.

Lance was traded to the Cowboys and remained a backup; his career trajectory currently supports the 'not an NFL-caliber starter' view.

Bijan Robinson is already the best running back of all time

My other one is Bijan Robinson is the best running back of all time. That was a great, great performance by him. That's, he's a clip monster. Everyone's like, look at this. It's just Bijan finding [room].

Bijan had a very good rookie season, but is obviously not the literal greatest running back of all time.

Michigan was definitively the better team in the National Championship and it never felt like UConn was in danger of winning.

Michigan was the better team. We all saw it. It never felt like [the game] was in danger. Like the only moment that I was like, oh, UConn might have a chance, was when there was like maybe five and a half minutes left and Mullens missed that three to cut it to four.

The episode presents Michigan winning the 2026 National Championship as a fact within the show's timeline.

Michigan was the best team all year — outside of Duke, who would have won the championship by a lot

They were the best team. They were the best team all year outside of Duke. 'Cause that actually was my other big takeaway — Duke just completely, Duke beat this Michigan team a month and a half ago.

Subjective comparison of team quality. Duke did beat Michigan during the regular season in 2025-26.

Danny Hurley is 18-1 against the spread in his last four NCAA tournaments, which is insane

Danny Hurley remains 18 and one in the last four tournaments against the spread. How insane is that? Furman is the only one that they didn't cover. That was the first round this year.

This is a factual claim about Hurley's ATS record over the last four NCAA tournaments. Based on UConn's remarkable tournament run, this is plausible and presented as a known stat. Cannot fully verify exact record but the claim is stated as fact.
