Isaiah Thomas might not be a great second-half player, but rather a terrible first-half player

I think what we're overlooking here when we talk about Isaiah's great second-half performances is he might be the worst NBA point guard in the first quarter... I'm not ready to say that [Isaiah Thomas] is a great second-half player. I think he might just be a really shitty first-half player.

Isaiah Thomas frequently trailed in the first half during this run only to have massive scoring bursts late, supporting the spirit of the take.

Sidney Crosby was only injured because there is a lack of fighting in modern hockey

The real issue is Sidney Crosby only got hit in his head like that because there's not as much fighting in hockey as there used to be. Because if this was back in the good old days, then players would know you can't go after another player's head like that. So the Penguins, they're too big of pussies. And they have no enforcer, so they are the ones that got Sidney Crosby injured.

The Penguins won the Stanley Cup anyway, and Crosby returned quickly, but the logic about fighting preventing head hits is highly debated and largely scientifically unsupported in the concussion era.

The Capitals deserve an asterisk if they win the Stanley Cup this year

Capitals, do whatever you got to do, asterisks. Rest of the playoffs, asterisk... If they win the cup, I want an asterisk.

The Capitals didn't even win the cup this year (the Penguins did), making the asterisk moot.

Josh Allen is playing quarterback on easy mode

We're a Josh Allen podcast. People sometimes get upset about how much we glaze him. I don't think we glaze him enough because he's playing quarterback on easy mode. It looks like that for him. The flick of the wrist, the runs, everything—it all looks like the game is slowed down for him. He's in just total control of the game.

Subjective assessment of Josh Allen's play and dominance.

The Bears will beat the Vikings, but they won't score 59 again

I think the Bears are gonna win. I do not think they're gonna score 59 points. I do think they're gonna win.

The Bears-Vikings result and Chicago's point total will determine this prediction.
