The NBA In-Season Tournament is a success

My Cool Throne is the NBA in season tournament because it kind of rocks... It was an awesome crowd. The crowd was awesome... I was critical at first. It didn't make sense in the beginning, but now that it's more organized... I'm a fan.

The first In-Season tournament was widely praised for its ratings and competitiveness, with LeBron James winning the first MVP.

Jake Browning is elite and his performance against the Jaguars proves he is 'Him'

Jake Browning has arrived. He is Elite. I got a question. Is Jake Browning him? He might be... 32 for 37. 354 yards. And a Bengals win.

While Browning had a very respectable run as a backup (finishing with a 98.4 passer rating), he was not 'elite' in a long-term sense and returned to a backup role in 2024.

The NFC is a more difficult conference than the AFC this year

Now it all switches to Is the NFC the real gauntlet? Is NFC really the actual conference this year? Because Yeah. I mean, if you had to do a power rankings of teams, the NFC would have what, three of the top five teams right now?

The 49ers and Lions (NFC) reached the conference championship and were considered elite, while the AFC was dominated primarily by the Chiefs and Ravens.

Jacksonville should have forced Trevor Lawrence to use a golf cart instead of letting him walk to the locker room

Jacksonville, Florida probably has the most golf carts. And they didn't use a single one on Trevor. He said he wanted to walk to the training room... At that point, you need to be like, no, we're gonna get you a cart. You've had, gimme your keys. You've had too much.

This is a subjective opinion on team protocol, though largely echoed by many in the media following the optics of the injury.

Spain is entering a period of absolute soccer dominance and will win the next Euro.

They won the Euro two years ago. They won the World Cup. They're probably gonna win the Euro in two years. They're just different generation dominating soccer.

Euro 2028 has not happened yet.

Goals scored in the World Cup third-place game should not count toward the Golden Boot.

I also had one bone to pick. The third place game, which is hilarious that they still do this... The fact that those goals count for the Golden Boot is such bullshit. That's stupid. That should not count. Like that's not a real game.

This is a subjective opinion about tournament rules.

LeBron James will announce his free agency decision tonight.

I'm fully expecting him to announce at 9:00 PM tonight. Yep. Like shit like that where it's like, I went to a movie on Thursday night. I was like, oh, LeBron's gonna fucking announce during the movie. He's, he's now fucking us... I think that's what's gonna happen. I think he's gonna decide tonight.

Depends on exactly when LeBron actually announced his decision following this episode.
