You must win a championship to be considered the face of the NBA

When has there ever been a face of a league that didn't win? Right. You have to win when it matters. You have to win a championship to be considered a face of this league. Agreed. It's not. And obviously if you win, that doesn't automatically mean you're the face of the league.

The definition of 'face of the league' is subjective but historically tracks with MVPs and champions.

Matthew Stafford staying with the Rams makes the most sense because they still have a Super Bowl window

Matthew Stafford staying in Los Angeles with the Rams... I always, always thought made the most sense because the Rams were, you could make the argument like they, they played the Eagles the toughest in, in the playoffs. It feels like they still have a window with Matthew Stafford. I think it's a two-year deal.

Stafford signed a 1-year extension in July 2024 to keep him under contract through 2026, though the 'two-year' phrasing here refers to the remaining window.

Aaron Rodgers will try to bring Davante Adams with him to the Raiders

Aaron Rogers will go. Raiders. I've heard that he's trying to bring Davante [Adams] with him again. So he has a wishlist. And I feel like if I were Aaron, I would just wanna stay in New York and just go to the other locker room.

Aaron Rodgers signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers, not the Raiders. Adams was also not part of the Steelers' plans in this scenario.

The Commanders fleeced the 49ers in the Deebo Samuel trade

I was pumped about the Deebo News... Deebo is very fun to watch when he's in good shape. Fifth round pick? Fleeced.

Commanders acquired Deebo Samuel from the 49ers in March 2025 for just a 5th-round pick — widely regarded as a steal.

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.

Subjective analysis of fan sentiment regarding a player's style.

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.
