U.S. NFL players would dominate Olympic Handball within months

You play a sport that if we decided to stop playing all the other sports, there would be a lot of guys better than what you're doing. ... If we were to take our best NFL players and put them in rugby uniforms... we would be much, much better. ... I'm not saying that I would be a gold medal handballist. I'd be probably a top pro. [Baker] his arm is better than any handballist's arm.

While untested, the theory is a staple of PMT. The US has never won an Olympic medal in team handball, so the baseline is low.

Andre Iguodala is the finesse king of the world

Andre Iguodala, the finesse king of the world, somehow sat out for half the year and is now getting paid more. He got two years, $30 million at age 36. And to live in Miami. That is... my guy got to promote his book, spend time with his family, get his mind right, and then gets to move to Miami and gets a shitload of money.

Iguodala did indeed sign a 2-year, $30M extension with Miami immediately upon being traded from Memphis after sitting out the first half of the season.

Marcus Morris will be a 'LeBron stopper' for the Clippers because he can annoy him

The Clippers got Marcus Morris, which is going to be awesome when they go up against LeBron. I feel like he's one of those guys in the league who... There's no LeBron stopper, but he's one of the guys who can make him annoyed. He wants to annoy LeBron to no end, and he's got that toughness to him.

LeBron and the Lakers beat the Clippers (and Morris) in the regular season, and the Clippers collapsed in the bubble, never facing LeBron in the playoffs.

Andrew Wiggins will be the new Jeff Green and get traded constantly

Andrew Wiggins, I feel like might be a new age Jeff Green where he will get traded now. This will start the process of him being traded a million different ways. He's better than that, but a million different teams and everyone will keep saying, well, he's only 26. Well, he's only 27. He's got all the upside.

Incorrect. Wiggins actually found a home with the Warriors, becoming an All-Star and the second-best player on a 2022 championship team, staying with Golden State for years.

The Chargers' game against the Raiders is a must-win

The Chargers might have the most must-win game of all time playing the Raiders with the schedule they have. If they don't win this week, it's over.

The Chargers' season outcome and whether the loss effectively ended their season had not been resolved at the time of the episode.

Texas won; Ohio State choked

I'll say Texas win, Ryan Day choke. The play calling, I don't know, maybe they got too conservative. I think they probably did.

This is a retrospective interpretation of the game rather than a purely objective claim; assigning primary blame is subjective.

Oregon is probably out if it loses to USC

The USC game will be massive. If Oregon loses that game, they're probably out.

Oregon's playoff status after the USC game was still unresolved at the time of the episode.
