The Jose Quintana trade is a win-win for both the Cubs and the White Sox

The White Sox and Cubs actually pulled off a trade, and I actually like it for both sides... maybe the Cubs got exactly what they needed, a cost-controlled arm, and the White Sox keep building. ... You're getting the sure thing right now to keep your window open.

The trade is widely viewed as a massive win for the White Sox, who received Dylan Cease and Eloy Jimenez, while Quintana was solid but not spectacular for the Cubs.

Floyd Mayweather plays up his illiteracy to have an excuse for tax issues

I have kind of a stay woke actually on Mayweather. I think that Mayweather isn't actually illiterate but he likes to play it up because that way he has an excuse when he doesn't fill his taxes out correctly.

There is no evidence Mayweather's literacy is a calculated tax strategy; he has faced actual tax issues with the IRS.

Conor McGregor is winning the press conferences but will lose the fight to Mayweather

If [McGregor] does go and get his ass kicked, which I think a lot of people probably lean that way... this is definitely a situation where he's winning the press conference and will most likely lose the fight.

Mayweather defeated McGregor via TKO in the 10th round on August 26, 2017.

Conor McGregor should just foul Floyd Mayweather to avoid an embarrassing boxing loss

What if [McGregor] just starts kicking and grabs Mayweather, throws him to the ground, just beats the shit out of him? Obviously he loses the fight, it's a DQ, but he would beat the shit out of Mayweather. That way you don't have to suffer an embarrassing loss and you get paid a shitload of money.

McGregor did not do this; he fought a standard boxing match and lost by TKO in the 10th round.

Victor Wembanyama is already better than LeBron James

I'm gonna enjoy him because he's, he's like, I I said on Wednesday's show, he is, he's already better than LeBron. So I, that's how I'm gonna enjoy him.

People only hate on Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's flopping because his play style is fundamentally boring

I actually think the problem with SGA more than anything is he's just boring. That's really what people are upset about. The flopping like sucks. But... more than anything he's just, he's boring because he is a lethal mid-range guy. He doesn't have flashy dunks. He's not doing... He's just methodically an exceptional basketball player.
