The St. Louis Cardinals lost America the World Baseball Classic

The St. Louis Cardinals have lost America. I mean, Paul Goldschmidt just hitting into a double play when we had a little rally going... if we're doing the blame, I think I'd start with those guys. Get some hits in some big moments and maybe we can be sitting here bragging about the US being the best in baseball.

Goldschmidt and Arenado were 1-for-7 combined in the final, supporting the claim they didn't show up in the big moment.

The Los Angeles Angels were the biggest losers of the World Baseball Classic

I felt really the big loser of tonight was the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim because... that last at-bat... Shohei Ohtani striking out Mike Trout... these two guys right now, two of the best baseball players to ever play the sport.

The Angels missed the playoffs again in 2023, and Ohtani left for the Dodgers shortly after.

UCLA will beat Gonzaga in the Sweet 16

I'm going with the Bruins because they're defensively, I think they're in line even without [Jaylen] Clark. And to me, as good as Gonzaga is, I don't trust their back court. And I do trust Tiger Campbell.

Gonzaga defeated UCLA 79-76.

Michigan wins 8 out of 10 against UConn, but Monday night might be one of the two

If Michigan and Connecticut play 10 times, I think Michigan wins the game eight out of the 10 times. The question on Monday night is, is tomorrow one of the two? And I think Hurley's good for one of those. And the other is Michigan has a horrid shooting night.

Michigan won the 2026 National Championship, consistent with Fanta's assessment that Michigan was the superior team.

Billy Donovan is the primary target for the North Carolina head coaching opening

The longer this goes, the more you have to think about Billy Donovan. Because it feels like in Chicago, what direction are the Bulls going in? Nowhere... what would it do to college basketball if you walk into Chapel Hill and now you are playing Jon Scheyer? I am on the Donovan hype train. If you're a Carolina donor, you're just gonna be like, we are a basketball school and we just hired a guy who literally has an NCAA tournament win percentage of 85%.

The outcome depends on who North Carolina eventually hires.

Dusty May will be an NBA head coach within the next 10 years

He's a mastermind. He's got great demeanor for it. He's got a really, really good way about him — his whole philosophy fits the NBA. I do think 10 years from now, Dusty May's gonna be an NBA head coach.

This is a long-range prediction (10 years) that hasn't resolved yet.
