Bobby Knight once had his players stop a scripted play for the movie 'Blue Chips' because he didn't want to lose the possession

The director come in the huddle and he says, all right, we need about 15, 20 minutes to set up the last play. So Penny Hardaway is gonna throw the lob past the Shaquille O'Neill and then they win... As we're leaving the huddle to go play defense. Coach Knight says, 'Don't let him get it. Grab him.' So they run the play... We grab Shaq, the ball goes out of bound and he's yelling the director's yelling. Cut, cut, cut.

This is a firsthand account from someone on the set. It is widely accepted as a true anecdote from the filming of Blue Chips.

UConn is a wagon, but my 'minus sign' luck might be the kiss of death for them

Yukon is a wagon and that might be the kiss of death cuz I'm the minus sign of King and I'm about to lay a brick. I'm about to lay a brick on Yukon and it's given me vibes of how sure I was that there were gonna be no DOKs.

UConn won the national championship, so PFT's 'kiss of death' did not manifest.

Playing basketball in a football stadium is a knock against the atmosphere

It's a knock against the whole idea of playing basketball in a football stadium... it doesn't have, the arena doesn't rock as much, you know, it's not as loud.

Subjective take on arena atmosphere.

San Diego State players struggle with free throws because they are too muscular from living on the beach

My theory on San Diego State... They're both too jacked up. Yeah, because they live on the beach in San Diego. So they're like, I gotta have guns swell when I go outside all the time. They're too strong and they don't have any touch on their fellow shots.

The take is inherently subjective and satirical, connecting free throw touch to beach culture.

Forte will be the Kentucky Derby favorite and has a great chance to win

I love Forte. I've watched Forte a few times... I think he'll be the Kentucky Derby favorite, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, he's gotta win today. But yeah, I got a good feeling about Forte. Yeah. That's, that's my pick.

Forte was the betting favorite but was a late scratch on race day (May 6, 2023).
