The Sixers are easy to guard in the playoffs because Ben Simmons can't shoot

Ben Simmons can't shoot, so if you just take them out of his hands, it's a lot easier to guard a team with four players instead of five.

Simmons' shooting remained a major liability throughout his Sixers tenure, contributing to multiple playoff exits.

I would have had a perfect bracket this year if I had filled one out

Last night, I got a little high, and I did some thinking, and I think with everything I know now, I would have had a perfect bracket if I had filled out a bracket. ... I just pick the four hottest teams in basketball. Put them in the Final Four. ... I did it.

The 2018 bracket was historically difficult (UMBC over Virginia, Loyola Chicago in the Final Four), making a perfect bracket statistically nearly impossible, even retroactively.

The Los Angeles Rams are going to suck and miss the playoffs despite their talent

I think the Rams are going to suck. They have too much talent... They're a surefire lock to win the NFC West, possibly go to the Super Bowl. They're going to miss the playoffs.

The 2018 Rams went 13-3 and played in Super Bowl LIII.

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.
