The Brooklyn Nets could win the NBA title if Ben Simmons plays alongside Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant

I might take a future on the next one. The title I, if Ben Simmons can play and be like decent—Kyrie and Kevin Durant—and I also would be, it would be awesome if Kyrie just got vaccinated tomorrow and James Harden's face... actually I'm all in.

Incorrect. The Nets were swept in the first round of the 2022 playoffs by the Celtics, and Ben Simmons did not play that season.

Chet Holmgren is very good but he looks like he will get eaten alive by real men in the paint

Chet Holmgren... is like the skinniest dude ever. And people get really mad because... your reaction is going to be, I actually would like to see you do, this is like this guy's, this guy's going to be soft when he plays against real men... he is really fucking good... but it's impossible to watch him once and not be like, oh, he's going to get eaten alive.

Holmgren has been an elite defender in the NBA, though his frame remains a talking point; he hasn't been 'eaten alive' in the way predicted.

If Odell Beckham Jr. does not get hurt, the Rams win the Super Bowl by 10 points

I also think if you want to do a, what if I, what if, what if Odell Beckham doesn't get hurt? Did the Rams run by 10? Like they were looking back at that game. They had three drives or it might've been four drives two punts, two touchdowns. But the two touchdowns were very easy. One Soto [Odell] Beckham goes out. They don't, they don't do anything until that last drive.

Subjective 'what if' scenario about an injury in a completed game.

NFL quarterbacks should bring a 'losing suit' to games so they don't look ridiculous in flamboyant outfits after a loss

I think that every quarterback should have a winning suit and a losing suit. And it's, it's equally to me as a fan of respecting the media. It's equally as disrespectful. When a quarterback who just won isn't dressed up like Cruella, Deville... I don't want a winning quarterback to be wearing like a tattered t-shirt and sweat pants. [Joe Burrow] should have brought a losing pair of clothes to the game because it did look... sad when he was walking out with a limp, losing the super bowl and a zebra suit.

Subjective opinion on NFL etiquette and fashion.

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.
