LeBron James' absence was extremely odd and under-reported

He left the Lakers a few days ago... there was, you know, internet rumors circulating that he was maybe getting arrested. That he was disappearing... it was weird the way it was, you know, he left and with LeBron and the media, they, you know, will talk about him nonstop and it kind of got swept under the rug.

Subjective take on media coverage and personal speculation.

The Commanders are not gonna win a playoff game if they keep playing like this

The commanders, they're, they're a good team, but I don't think that they're where they, they're not gonna win a playoff game if they keep playing like this.

The Commanders made the playoffs but were eliminated in the first round (Wild Card) by the Buccaneers.

Patrick Mahomes will be totally fine despite his high ankle sprain

Do we believe it? Do we think it matters? Because he, I feel like this happens to him once a year and he ends up being totally fine and everyone's like, oh man, he's banged up, but it'll be fine.

Mahomes did not miss time and the Chiefs continued their run to the Super Bowl.

Jameis Winston's time as the starting quarterback in Cleveland is over

The bigger story is it might be over for Jamis [Winston] in Cleveland... When you get benched for DTR, it's bad. He was on, I'll say this, if you watch this game, the Chief's defensive line was on fire and Jamis had no time.

Winston actually started the final three games of the season for Cleveland despite being benched in this specific game.

Roman Anthony is a defensive liability for the Red Sox because everyone is successfully running on him in left field.

Roman Anthony, world baseball classic hero. But he has been, he's become a meme basically. If he can't, he just can't throw anyone out from left field. Everyone's just running on Roman. Shane tried to tell me he was great last year, but he was playing right field. Now he's playing left field... it's just not good.

Whether a player is a 'liability' is subjective, though defensive stats can provide some evidence over time.

AJ Brown will be traded to the New England Patriots

[AJ Brown is] gone no matter what... New England. [In my] unbiased mind, he's still gone.

AJ Brown was not traded to the Patriots in the immediate aftermath of these rumors.

UConn can't win the championship

I hope UConn can get it done. I don't think they can win it all.

UConn was in the 2026 Final Four. Resolution depends on whether UConn won the championship.
