The double dribble by Virginia against Auburn was a clear foul that should be called 90% of the time.

I'm telling you, they missed the double dribble. I mean, that's clear. But... that play that went to the review, everybody that just two days ago was saying, we need to get every call inside two minutes right is all of a sudden anti-replay.

Broad consensus among officials and rules experts was that it was a missed double-dribble.

Virginia's national title run is one of the coolest stories in sports history

UVA now becomes one of the coolest stories in all of sports going from the loss to UMBC last year as a one seed to a 16 seed never happened before to then get all the way back and go to the national title and win the national championship. It's all like one story. And it all kind of erases. I feel like if they don't have that low, they don't get to this high.

Virginia did win the 2019 National Championship after losing to a 16-seed in 2018.

The best sports teams are usually the luckiest ones

To me, it seems like the best teams are always the ones that get the luckiest. You can make the case like, oh, Tom Brady shouldn't have as many Super Bowls because the interception bailed him out at the end of the Seattle game... But it turns out that if you have luck that adds up a lot, you're probably just good.

This is a philosophical observation about sports success that is inherently subjective.

Unders in the first half are a strong betting trend for games played on raised floors in football stadiums.

I've noticed that teams, when they're on that raised floor... in the first half, it seems to me like all the first half unders were hitting on any game that's ever been played on an elevated floor, like in a football [stadium].

The shooting struggles in domes are a well-documented phenomenon in college basketball, though the 'trend' of unders is hard to verify without specific historical data.

Jalen Hurts is being disrespected, but he needs to raise his floor after a low-production 2025 season.

To deny that there's pressure on the guy would be ridiculous. It's also ridiculous to say that he's a bad player. You just wanna see a little bit more production in the middle of the field. You wanna see the timing get a little bit better, and you wanna see the floor raise in that passing offense.

The Houston Texans' defense does not have a single weakness.

That defense is so fun to watch. They really don't have weaknesses defensively. I can't say that about another team in the NFL. And so that's a major strength.

While an opinion, it's a verifiable assessment of a roster's depth during the 2026 season.

The 49ers will take a step back this season because of coaching changes and ownership drama.

I don't know how the Niners... I really respect the program, but you lose [Robert] Saleh, you're changing the defense up a little bit with Raheem coming into town and you know, you've got injuries up front... The Aiyuk situation was bizarre. I don't know how they don't take a little step back.

The 2026 NFL season has not yet concluded.
