The Mountain West conference cannot play in March

The only problem with Creighton winning is there are no Mountain West teams left to fade cause they are a quick 0-4 and out of the tournament. I don't know what's up with that conference. They just, for whatever it is, they just cannot play in March.

Historically, the Mountain West has struggled significantly in the NCAA tournament relative to other conferences, though individual teams eventually break the trend (like SDSU in 2023).

I am officially never betting on futures again

I talked like I'm never doing futures again... I'm never doing a future. Again. I was very excited about it [Kentucky] because I never get futures where I get the right price... that goes up in smoke.

Big Cat famously continues to bet on futures (futures bets) constantly in the years following this claim.

Kentucky's blue blood status should be on the hot seat

I actually think that we should not talk about coach Cal being on the hot seat as much as we should just put the status, the blue blood status of Kentucky on the hot seat. What have you done for me lately Kentucky?

Kentucky's struggles continued with early tournament exits in subsequent years, leading many to actually debate their blue blood dominance.

Ben Johnson ran the illegal play wrong on purpose

I think Ben Johnson ran it wrong on purpose to put something on tape that then he can run a variation off of it.

This is an interpretation of coaching intent that cannot be definitively verified from the game broadcast.

The Bears are good

I think the Bears are good.

Whether the 2026 Bears are 'good' is ultimately a season-level subjective assessment.

The NFL is testing its way toward Tuesday and Wednesday games

Florio basically was like the NFL is testing out putting teams three times in a row on primetime because we're going to get to a point where they start playing Tuesday and Wednesday games. And I believe it.

This can be evaluated if the NFL introduces regular Tuesday or Wednesday games as described.
