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.

The next coach at Kentucky will win a national championship

I'm gonna go one step further. Big Cat, I'm gonna say the next coach at Kentucky will win a national championship. Yeah. Whoever you are. Whoever you're about to hire right now. Future National Championship coach sign up.

Kentucky hired Mark Pope shortly after this. Whether he wins a title is pending.

Michigan was definitively the better team in the National Championship and it never felt like UConn was in danger of winning.

Michigan was the better team. We all saw it. It never felt like [the game] was in danger. Like the only moment that I was like, oh, UConn might have a chance, was when there was like maybe five and a half minutes left and Mullens missed that three to cut it to four.

The episode presents Michigan winning the 2026 National Championship as a fact within the show's timeline.

Michigan was the best team all year — outside of Duke, who would have won the championship by a lot

They were the best team. They were the best team all year outside of Duke. 'Cause that actually was my other big takeaway — Duke just completely, Duke beat this Michigan team a month and a half ago.

Subjective comparison of team quality. Duke did beat Michigan during the regular season in 2025-26.

Danny Hurley is 18-1 against the spread in his last four NCAA tournaments, which is insane

Danny Hurley remains 18 and one in the last four tournaments against the spread. How insane is that? Furman is the only one that they didn't cover. That was the first round this year.

This is a factual claim about Hurley's ATS record over the last four NCAA tournaments. Based on UConn's remarkable tournament run, this is plausible and presented as a known stat. Cannot fully verify exact record but the claim is stated as fact.
