Duke basketball is back

Duke's back... They beat Arizona State by 50 in a scrimmage... They might be back. God damnit they might be back.

Duke made the Final Four as a #1 seed in 2025, with Cooper Flagg as a dominant freshman. They beat Alabama 85-65 in the Elite Eight before losing to Houston in the semis. Duke basketball was indeed 'back' as a national contender.

Jayden Daniels' rib was never actually hurt

I have a theory that his rib was never actually hurt. I think that after that first run of the Panthers game, the coaching staff was like, 'Hey Jayden, it's the Panthers. You just ran easily for 50 yards. First play of the game, let Marcus take over, go to the training room.' And then all week long it was all secret.

Jayden Daniels was genuinely on the injury report and it was widely reported he had a rib issue, though he did play through it.

I am not selling any stock in Caleb Williams despite his poor performance

Caleb, what he did in the fourth quarter is why I'm not, I'm not selling any of my stock in him. I know people will be like, he sucks, he's a bum, he's a bust. I got about a billion tweets of that. I don't care what he was doing in the fourth quarter. That throw to DJ Moore hanging in there where he is. Got no time getting killed. Yeah, I'm not. And then he threw that, that like sidearm underhand one. I'm not gonna change my opinion on Caleb Williams.

This is a long-term developmental opinion that remains subjective but shows high conviction during a low point.

The Bears coaching staff is a joke and needs to be replaced immediately

I reaffirmed my opinion that this coaching staff is a joke. And we need to get rid of them as soon as possible because it's like they're, they're, they're a joke. They're a joke. Like that's a bye week. You come out of a bye-week looking like that.

The Bears eventually fired Shane Waldron and later Matt Eberflus, confirming the organizational failure.

Tom Brady helping Mike Macdonald prepare for the Patriots would be a huge slap in the face to the New England region.

That would be egregious if that was true. I don't believe it is true. But if it were, that would be unforgivable. Not unforgivable. That would be a, a blemish, a big blemish. Big time. It'd be a slap in the face of the whole region.

Subjective opinion on how a hypothetical rumor would be perceived.

Jayson Tatum is playing cute by claiming he found out about the Jaylen Brown trade on social media.

I'm sure he knew that he was on the trading block and he didn't know specifically when he got traded and he found out just like everyone else... all Brad Stevens, Jaylen Brown, they talked about how, you know, he was gonna be on the trading block and they were gonna try and move him. So I'm sure Jayson Tatum was also aware of that. But in terms of, he's probably playing a little, a little cutesy there where like no one specifically told him, 'Hey, this is the trade.' He found out like everyone else. But I'm sure he was not surprised and fully aware what the plan was.

Subjective interpretation of Tatum's PR framing.

The trade just happened in the fictional 2026 timeline provided; further moves are pending.
