Thomas Walkup will never play in the NBA

He's a 6'4 white dude who when he goes to the NBA, he'll get like his ankles broken in two seconds and dunked on. So he won't even get to go to the NBA.

Thomas Walkup went undrafted in 2016 and has never played in an NBA regular season game, though he has had a very successful career in Europe.

The inconsistency of NCAA tournament referees makes it impossible for players to adjust

The refs not only aren't consistent game to game, they're not consistent in game. If you watch the Wisconsin Xavier game, the first 10 minutes they let them play. They let them bang down low. Then the last 30 minutes, it was ticky-tack all the way through. They were calling every little contact. I just don't know how, as a player, you can handle that.

Referee consistency is a perennial debate in college basketball.

Watching the first half of any March Madness game is a waste of time

What are you even doing if you're watching the first five minutes of a March Madness game? I don't think I've ever done that.

Wisconsin will probably beat Notre Dame and then lose in a tragic, heartbreaking fashion

They'll probably beat Notre Dame and then maybe... be up by 10 against UNC. And I'm like, oh, man, I cannot believe the Badgers are going back to the Final Four. And then there'll be tragedy and heartbreak. And people will be sending me mean tweets.

Wisconsin lost to Notre Dame 61-56 in the Sweet 16 on March 25, 2016. While they didn't beat ND as he thought 'probably' would happen, his prediction of 'tragedy and heartbreak' was accurate as they lost a close game late.

The Spurs vs. Thunder series is the most toxic series in NBA history

The most toxic series in the NBA is going seven... the Sj discourse, Wendy's henchman, Wemby not going to do media after game five, the blowouts, the officiating. It's toxic. Everyone hates everyone. I love every second of it, but it is toxic.

Whether a series is 'the most toxic in history' is subjective and part of the show's hyperbolic sports discourse.

Victor Wembanyama skipping the media after a bad game is a 'lame ass move' for a future face of the league

I like Wemby a lot. That's a lame ass move to not go and talk to the media, especially when you want to be the face of the league... You gotta just go and face the music when you have a bad game. We criticize Rory [McIlroy] when he does this... when you lose, you gotta just face the music.

The value of media availability is a matter of sports etiquette and opinion.

The Vegas Golden Knights reaching three Stanley Cup Finals in nine years while only missing the playoffs once is a crazy level of success.

The Golden Knights are, it's pretty shocking the fact that they have been a franchise for nine years and this is their third trip to the Stanley Cup final. They have won one, lost one. This is their third. They have also gone to the playoffs in those nine years. They have missed the playoffs one single time. It's a crazy run by them.

The Golden Knights have indeed had unprecedented success for an expansion franchise, though the specific 2026 counts depend on the episode's fictional timeline.
