The Hurricanes will get bounced in the Eastern Conference Finals again — they do this every year

The Carolina Hurricanes won the Eastern Conference Finals in five games against the Montreal Canadiens, not losing in four. They subsequently won the 2026 Stanley Cup.

The Cardinals taking Jeremiah Love when they have a million roster holes was the wrong call

Arve Reese falling all the way to five — with the Cardinals taking Jeremiah Love. Anytime you have a million holes and you can add a running back, you gotta do it.

The Giants had a great draft — Burns, Abdul Carter, Arve Reese and a right tackle to protect Jackson Dart is a loaded haul

I love what the Giants did because the Giants now, they could probably trade Thibodaux. They have Burns, Abdul Carter and Arve Reese. And then they got an offensive lineman to hopefully protect Jackson Dart.

Caleb Downs was the best overall player in the 2026 draft

Caleb Downs was my favorite player in this draft. I have to, like, as of the end of this day, I have to move on and pretend that I've always hated Caleb Downs [now that he's a Cowboy], but I thought he was the best player in the draft.

Downs' career trajectory compared to other 2026 draftees will determine this, but it's a bold claim for a safety/defender.

The Chargers' game against the Raiders is a must-win

The Chargers might have the most must-win game of all time playing the Raiders with the schedule they have. If they don't win this week, it's over.

The Chargers' season outcome and whether the loss effectively ended their season had not been resolved at the time of the episode.

Texas won; Ohio State choked

I'll say Texas win, Ryan Day choke. The play calling, I don't know, maybe they got too conservative. I think they probably did.

This is a retrospective interpretation of the game rather than a purely objective claim; assigning primary blame is subjective.

Oregon is probably out if it loses to USC

The USC game will be massive. If Oregon loses that game, they're probably out.

Oregon's playoff status after the USC game was still unresolved at the time of the episode.
