Right now off the top my head. There are more teams that nobody wants to play in the playoffs in the NBA at this point than there have ever been... No one wants to play Toronto... the Heat... Oklahoma City... the Blazers... the Rockets.

Subjective assessment of playoff matchups.

He's dealing with coronavirus and all his players like oh my god... and they're like ha just kidding gotcha... take this seriously. Let's all learn a lesson from this.

Bill Belichick might opt out of the 2020 season to sabotage Josh McDaniels and tank for Trevor Lawrence

My big-time stay woke on this is that Bill Belichick, he might opt out if coaches can opt out... he's got so many players on defense that are out, right? If Bill Belichick opts out McDaniels probably takes over, right? They go 4-12. All of a sudden no one wants to sign Josh McDaniels to a head coaching contract next year. He keeps the team together maybe gets Trevor Lawrence.

Belichick did not opt out of the 2020 season, and the Patriots finished 7-9, missing out on Trevor Lawrence.

The MLB will successfully implement a 'virtual bubble' by banning players from going out to dinner

The MLB is trying to get to a virtual bubble. They have new rules that basically... if you get caught doing these things you can't play anymore. Yep. They actually did that. So, thanks for listening, Rob Manfred.

The MLB did finish its 2020 season successfully outside of a strict physical bubble, though it did have some early outbreaks.

UNC is one of the true blue blood jobs in college basketball

This is a job that doesn't come open very often. And it is a true blue blood job... It is the logo of a team that's won a ton of national titles and a ton of Final Fours. It is literally one of the blue bloods.

UNC's historical success, tournament wins, and titles objectively categorize them as a blue blood.

I've fallen hard and fast for Ben McCollum - he's a rock star coach

I've fallen hard and fast for Ben McCollum. He just wins everywhere. Ben McCollum always talking about toughness. I've fallen hard. I've read a lot of Ben McCollum this last week after beating Florida. This guy fucking rocks.

The Cubs are the second best team in the NL and will reach the NLCS

I think the Cubs are gonna be really fucking good. I think they're the second best team in the NL so I guess my expectations might be a little too high, but I think they're gonna be really, really good. I think they should definitely win the NL Central and be in the NLCS.

Predicting the Cubs to be the second-best team in the entire National League is a bold stance given the Dodgers and Braves.
