The 2022 Winter Olympics are failing because the NHL players aren't participating

The Olympics are a fucking fact that hockey, like the pros don't play. That's what draws everyone in. Like if team USA was playing Russia tomorrow morning, we would wake up and watch it. We'd wake up and watch it.

The 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics were the lowest-rated ever in the U.S. While many factors contributed, the absence of NHL stars in the hockey tournament was widely cited as a major loss for the Games' marquee event.

The Rams have a better roster in almost every spot, but Joe Burrow is good enough to win Super Bowl LVI

The Rams are probably better in pretty much every spot but Joe Burrow. And then I say, but Joe Burrow's worth the win. And that's where I'm like the Rams feel like if you did it on paper and you just did a guy off, like, all right, the Rams are easily better, but Joe burrow is Joe burrow.

The Rams defeated the Bengals 23-20 in Super Bowl LVI. Burrow was unable to overcome the Rams' superior defensive front.

Odell Beckham Jr. will score a touchdown in the Super Bowl if his child is born before the game

Odell Beckham Jr. looks like he's going to have his first kid in the next couple of days. If he does, you know what that means? He's scoring a touchdown, Odell Beckham to score a touchdown in the super bowl.

Seeing Matthew Stafford succeed is a slap in the face to the Lions organization

Everything that they, when they say something nice about Matthew Stafford, it's such a slap in the face to the Lions. And I know that like, look, bad organizations are bad organizations... but they're like, yeah, Matthew Stafford, this is moment. He was spent so many years just on that terrible team with that terrible organization. Yes. It's like, he got out of hell. It's like, he's the first man to ever escape the devil.

Stafford won the Super Bowl in his first year away from Detroit, confirming the premise that the organization was the primary hurdle.

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.
