The NBA first round this year has been far superior to the NHL first round

The NBA first round this year has been far superior to the NHL first round. I know there's been a lot of overtime games, but like you said, there's no Game 7s. And the NBA feels like... last year was really bad. This year, there have been some really compelling stories, and we have a lot of fights going on.

This is a subjective opinion comparing two different sports seasons.

I am more confident than ever that the Capitals will beat the Penguins

I'm more confident than i've ever been going into this [series]. We just beat a bunch of yahoos that dump gravy and cheese all over their fries. We can beat a city that puts it in their sandwiches.

The Capitals lost to the Penguins in 7 games in the 2017 second round.

Jeff Teague has been swept out of the playoffs by LeBron James for three consecutive years

I'm pretty sure Jeff Teague has been swept by LeBron three years in a row. That's amazing.

LeBron's teams swept Teague's Hawks in 2015 and 2016, and then Teague's Pacers in 2017.

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.
