I've heard that the FBI is snooping around, sniffing around Duke.

Duke was never formally implicated or named in the 2017 FBI college basketball corruption scandal.

Hey, LeBron James, you could learn a lot from Gordon Hayward about how to establish a pivot foot. [LeBron] travels.

LeBron's traveling is a subjective, ongoing debate among NBA fans and media.

Kevin Durant lacks the clutch gene and will never win an NBA championship where he is the alpha on the team

Kevin Durant lacks the clutch gene. Doesn't get the ball off on time. [He will never win an NBA championship] where he's the alpha on the team. Beta ball.

Durant won back-to-back NBA championships and Finals MVPs in 2017 and 2018. While on a stacked team, winning Finals MVP twice directly contradicts the idea he couldn't win as the alpha.

The Yankees are going to win the World Series because they have 'the aura'

The Yankees, I think, are going to win the World Series. I'm actually going to say that right now. I think they have what we call the look. I was going to say the aura, actually. The aura.

The Yankees lost the 2017 ALCS in 7 games to the eventual champion Houston Astros.

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.
