The Rio Olympics tragedies are a marketing strategy by Brazil

The only way to remind people that the Olympics are coming is to continually have tragedies and threats... There are some guys in Brazil right now sitting in a marketing office patting themselves on the back. We really did this. We're making the news. Yeah, we threw out Zika. We threw out terrorists, a guy with a gun. There's sewage. There's poop water. Hey, let's throw some old body parts... Front page news. Oh, yeah. And the Olympics are on NBC. Tune in.

This is a satirical conspiracy theory and is factually incorrect as a serious claim.

I have a .001% chance of blacking out and eating 80 hot dogs at the Nathan's contest

I also, .001% chance, I think I could just black out and eat 80 hot dogs.

Big Cat did not eat 80 hot dogs; Joey Chestnut's record at the time was 69.

Big Cat will fail to hit double digits in the hot dog contest; the over-under should be 7.5

I'd be shocked if you hit double digits. I would say that the over-under should be set at about seven and a half.

Big Cat managed to hit 10, so PFT's prediction that he wouldn't hit double digits was incorrect.

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.

Series over, you can't lose that game if you're the Cavs. When it went into overtime, we said the Cavs have to win this. This is must win. You can't give this up. All time choke.

The series has just begun as of the episode date.
