The Washington Commanders name won't matter once the season starts

The team name, I think I said it on Wednesday's show, but, like, people get mad about it for 24 hours. No one, like, will remember it, care. Then football will be back, and we'll be like, who cares? It's not going to be – I don't think it makes or breaks anything.

The name remains controversial and unpopular with the fan base years later, and there are ongoing discussions about changing it again under new ownership.

You can safely drive 70-80 MPH on icy highways as long as the road is straight

Thankfully, a lot of the highways going out into the south are straight... once we hit Ohio, which was mostly straight highway, you can still carry 70 to 80 miles per hour safely. Whereas going around the corners, we had to go like 50 miles. So with this ice, the big thing will be stopping. Not many two people are on the roads, so no one's going to stop short in front of us. So as long as we just cruise, we're going to make awesome time.

Driving 80 MPH on ice is extremely dangerous regardless of how straight the road is, as any loss of traction or need to brake would result in a total loss of control.

The NFL will force Stephen Ross to sell the Dolphins because match-fixing is the only thing owners will actually vote a peer out for

I think that they're going to force him [Stephen Ross] to sell the team. I think this is the only way that an owner could be forced to sell. Because owners have so many skeletons in their closet that they're never going to vote another guy out... But when you start involving like changing the outcomes of games and bribing coaches... I feel like this is a great excuse for owners to try to sell the team or try to vote them out.

Ross was suspended and fined $1.5 million following an investigation into tampering and tanking allegations, but he was not forced to sell the team.

Major Biden should be the animal mascot for the Washington Commanders

I'm hoping that since we're the commanders, which is the name of one of Joe Biden's dogs, the good one, Major Biden becomes the animal mascot. That'd be awesome to have him just patrolling the sidelines, biting the opponent, pissing and shitting all over himself. That's what I want.

The Commanders eventually debuted 'Major' the Hog as their mascot in 2023, not the President's dog.

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.
