The obsession with velocity is destroying MLB pitchers' arms

Everyone's obsessed with velocity... everyone just looking at the numbers being like, you gotta throw a hundred, you gotta throw a hundred. And arms are just getting pushed to this max at a early age and everyone's destroying their arms.

This is a widely held opinion among baseball analysts and experts as the data shows a correlation between max effort velocity and ligament damage.

John Calipari leaving for Arkansas is a huge win for Kentucky because they avoid a massive buyout

I think it's actually a huge win for Kentucky. Kentucky fans like they wanted him gone two weeks ago. Not only that, but it's a huge win for Kentucky for a couple things. One, you don't have to pay him any money. So the part of the deal is that if Cal goes, there's no buyout for Arkansas to pay Kentucky, but there's also no money that Kentucky has to pay Cal.

This is a subjective assessment of a coaching change, but the financial facts are correct.

I personally guarantee Kentucky will win a national title before Arkansas

I'll do my what's the Cavs owners name? Dan Gilbert. Sense. Personally guarantee it. Right. Personally guarantee... I just think Kentucky will be good. I think they'll be, they'll be fine immediately.

This is a long-term prediction. Both programs are currently in a transition period under new coaching.

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.

Comparing players across eras or at different career stages is inherently subjective.

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.
