The Colorado 'Rato Curse' is the price the city must pay to trade for Aaron Rodgers.

The Rato Curse... to not have a win, have two teams deep in the playoffs and not have a fucking win in the two weeks... It's the bargain with the devil that you have to make in order to get Aaron Rodgers traded to your city.

Aaron Rodgers was eventually traded to the New York Jets, not the Denver Broncos.

The Suns fan from the 'Suns in 4' fight needs a championship ring

The bottom line is if they [the Suns] win, if they win the NBA finals this year, that guy needs a ring. He needs a ring for sure. And he needs to do the pregame ceremony.

The Suns reached the Finals but lost to the Bucks, and the fan did not receive an official ring.

Nikola Jokic's ejection in Game 4 was total bullshit

The Jokic ejection was bullshit. It was bullshit. Having that be an ejection was so, so stupid. I don't know if that changes the game... but yes, ejecting the reigning MVP, that's going to have an effect on it.

This is a subjective opinion on officiating, though widely shared by commentators.

'Same height parties' should be normalized.

Normalize same height parties where you show up and they measure you at the door. And depending on how tall you are, they give you these like lifts that you walk around in that bring you up to the exact same height as the tallest person at the party.

Social norms are subjective; there is no objective measure for whether they should be normalized.

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.
