Lacrosse is the sport of the future

My cool throne is lacrosse, sport of the future. Yep. Paul Rabel figured out betting, so they're doing an event in the summer. People are going to be able to bet on it.

While the PLL has grown, Lacrosse has not overtaken major sports as 'the' sport of the future in a mainstream sense.

Billionaire MLB owners should pay for their own rosters instead of asking for player concessions

Billionaires should pay for their own fucking rosters. It's also crazy because... there's no salary cap in baseball. So now you're saying there's going to be a salary cap for one year? ... I'm not going to be someone who being like, players, you have to take less just because the guys are saying that they're, the people in charge are saying they're losing money, even though they won't tell you how they're losing money.

The 2020 MLB season was ultimately played with pro-rated salaries after a lengthy labor dispute, aligning with Big Cat's stance that players shouldn't cave to revenue splits.

An 82-game MLB season would be a 'sprint' that generates massive TV ratings

I actually think the TV – people will watch it a lot more on TV not only because it's captive audience but an 82-game that's a sprint. If you have a five game losing streak in the 82-game you're sunk. It just means more. Yeah, I like the 82-game season.

The MLB eventually played an even shorter 60-game season. While it was a 'sprint,' World Series ratings in 2020 actually hit an all-time low, largely due to pandemic viewer shifts, though early regular season games saw some boosts.

If the Lakers win the 2020 title, people will put an asterisk on LeBron James' championship

If the Lakers win, [Hank] is absolutely putting an asterisk on LeBron James' title. ... It will be an asterisk next to that team forever.

The Lakers did win the 2020 NBA Bubble title, and the 'asterisk' debate persists among fans and media today.

Tom Brady could still throw for 4,000 yards and 30 touchdowns in the NFL right now

Tom Brady... It's football. They had the flag football event this past weekend. Tom Brady played in it. I mean, he could go out next year in the league and probably get 4,000 yards, 30 touchdowns.

Brady is 48 and retired; the likelihood of him returning and putting up elite stats is nearly zero.

Aaron Judge is an absolute choke artist who delivered nothing for Team USA

Aaron Judge, like you knew he was striking out. And he did. He's an absolute joke, absolute choke artist. Expected nothing else from him and he delivered nothing.

This reflects the consensus opinion of the hosts following the game's outcome as described in the show.
