The NBA needs a Celtics-Lakers Finals for the ratings

The Lakers were scaring me. They've been, you know, they won eight straight. They were playing really well and it, you know the conspiracy of how does Luca end up in la? The NBA needs a Celtics. Lakers NBA finals for ratings. Yep.

Historically, Lakers-Celtics matchups do generate high ratings, but the 'need' for it is subjective.

The Browns proved they are committed to a championship by paying Myles Garrett a massive contract

I think they [the Browns] just show that they are committed to winning. Yeah. They're, the Brown's football organization is one that is, they're putting their best foot forward trying to deliver championship in Miles Garrett said, you know what? Now I believe you. Yeah, I I think that we're actually gonna gonna do it. And step number one towards committing to a championship is to pay Miles Garrett a shitload of money.

The Browns signed him to a record deal as stated in the transcript, but whether this leads to a championship is a matter of opinion.

Whoever signs the largest contract in the NFL should get seven days to wear a crown

I think there should be a new rule that if you sign the biggest contract, whether it be a, the biggest quarterback contract, the biggest non quarterback contract, you should get seven days to wear the crown. Miles Garrett should have had to wait seven days [to take it from Max Crosby].

This is a subjective proposal for a rule change.

The Cowboys and Bengals are the biggest losers of the Myles Garrett contract because it raised the price for edge rushers

The losers in all of this, I would say are the Dallas Cowboys, the Cincinnati Bengals or anyone who's trying to trade for an Edge restaurant has to pay them because the price has gone up. Yeah. Micah Parsons is now gonna take that Crown. Trey Hendrickson, Jamar Chase. Yeah. All these guys. The price just keeps going up and up and up.

Financial experts generally agree that top-of-the-market deals reset the floor for subsequent negotiations.

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.
