The 2023 NCAA tournament deserves an 'A' grade despite the lack of traditional blue bloods in the Final Four

I like this tournament delivered. It always delivers. It's the fucking March Madness. I love this tournament so much... I'm giving this tournament maybe it wasn't an A-plus, but I actually don't think any tournament could be less than an A. So I'm giving it an A.

The quality of a tournament is an inherent matter of opinion.

UConn is officially basketball royalty and a blue blood

The Connecticut Huskies are officially basketball royalty. Officially they have hemophilia. Five [titles] in 24 years is insane. They are basketball royalty. Five in 24 years is insane... The only other team to do [titles in four consecutive decades], North Carolina.

UConn's 5th title since 1999 cemented their status as one of the most dominant programs of the modern era.

Villanova should be kicked out of the Blue Bloods to make room for UConn

Welcome to the Blue Blood Club. I think they kick Villanova out, right? And then they move [UConn in].

The definition of a Blue Blood is subjective, though UConn's continued success has made their inclusion consensus.

Dan Hurley is the arrival of the next great era of basketball coaching

Dan Hurley has arrived officially as a coach of the national title. He feels like he's the next era, which I love because Dan Hurley is like a throwback to the next era. He's got that scowl, he's got that anger.

Dan Hurley went on to win back-to-back titles in 2024, confirming he is the dominant coach of the new era.

Ben Johnson ran the illegal play wrong on purpose

I think Ben Johnson ran it wrong on purpose to put something on tape that then he can run a variation off of it.

This is an interpretation of coaching intent that cannot be definitively verified from the game broadcast.

The Bears are good

I think the Bears are good.

Whether the 2026 Bears are 'good' is ultimately a season-level subjective assessment.

The NFL is testing its way toward Tuesday and Wednesday games

Florio basically was like the NFL is testing out putting teams three times in a row on primetime because we're going to get to a point where they start playing Tuesday and Wednesday games. And I believe it.

This can be evaluated if the NFL introduces regular Tuesday or Wednesday games as described.
