The NCAA should have a single rule: players cannot bet on their own teams

There are no rules in the NCAA anymore. There are no rules. But if there should be one rule, it's that you can't bet on your own team. Like that's the one rule we should all agree. Like, hey, if the sport is gonna ever survive, we can't have that.

This is a normative policy opinion.

Jalen Brunson is the current number one player in the NBA

I rank Jalen Brunson one. That's the whole point of winning a championship, is you get to spend an entire off season and saying your guy's number one. The whole point of winning a title is that then the next four months you get to just say, my guy, my best guy is the best guy in the whole league.

The ranking of current NBA players is subjective, though most analysts would still place Nikola Jokic or Giannis Antetokounmpo above Brunson.

I would not trade Jayson Tatum or Jaylen Brown for Giannis Antetokounmpo

[Big Cat: Do you want Giannis, answer the question, yes or no?] No. We won a championship with Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum. Why would we give that up?

Inherently subjective team-building opinion.

The Knicks would not have won the NBA title without Tom Thibodeau

Listen, I know there's people who've been like, oh yeah, Tibs, like Biggest Loser. They don't win this without Tibs. I really believe that. Tibs inherited a godawful Knicks team and franchise and made them winners pretty quickly and made them competent. And then Mike Brown obviously took him over the top, but the guy before the guy I think still has some importance.

The impact of a previous coach's culture is inherently subjective.

MLB owners are intentionally colluding to let the Dodgers acquire every star to force a salary cap in the next CBA.

I think that a lockout's gonna happen... this is just all collusion and the owners are just letting the Dodgers get these guys because everyone is going to get to the new CBA and be like, how can we not have a lockout? The Dodgers are gonna win it every single year under the current circumstances.

Pending future MLB CBA negotiations.

Tony Romo is likely done at CBS with JJ Watt poised to take over the lead role

Tony Romo is now no longer as of right now going to be calling games. At least for week one. JJ Watt has taken his place. I feel like this might be it for Tony Romo with CBS.

Depends on whether Romo returns to the lead chair later in the season.

The Arizona Cardinals will easily hit the over on their 3.5 win total despite heavy tanking narratives.

The Cardinals having an over under win total of two and a half... oh three and a half. I might have to take this all over. They don't have any tape on Lalo, that's the thing. And they have Jeremiah Love who should've won Heisman.

Pending the outcome of the 2026 NFL season.
