The Myles Garrett trade to the Rams is a win for both teams

I know this is lame, but My take is wins all around. [The Rams] have proven that they can do this... basically, as an organization, realized that they can figure out a way to still compete without having draft capital. And the Browns, I think is, it's, it's very smart for them because they weren't gonna compete this year for anything meaningful. Now they have two first round picks.

This is a subjective evaluation of a major trade in the show's 2026 timeline.

The Browns are positioning themselves to draft a franchise quarterback in the 2027 NFL Draft

It feels like the Browns are building to a point where they gotta get the QB next year in the draft. And if they do, a lot of the other things are starting to fall into place. ... they now have two first round picks. Now they have flexibility.

The take refers to the 2027 draft (next year from the 2026 season's perspective); the outcome remains pending.

Myles Garrett is the best player at his peak to ever be traded in NFL history

I would say he's probably the best player who's ever been traded in terms of he's the defensive... he just set the sack record. He's the defensive player of the year. I'm saying like the peak, peak powers, Myles Garrett just had.

While historical trades exist (Walker, Faulk), Garrett being a reigning DPOY and sack record holder makes this a strong, albeit debatable, claim.

The 2020 FSU basketball team was a Final Four caliber squad before the tournament was canceled

That team was rolling as probably a Final Four team. ... they had four draft picks, two lottery picks and two second round picks. ... they were loaded for a college team. And that's why they had a good amount of, like, to me, the best college team, best basketball teams. ... That team to me had it all.

A hypothetical tournament result is inherently subjective.

Steph Curry works harder on his conditioning than anyone in the history of sports

He works harder on his condition than anyone in basketball I've ever seen. And it's, it is nonstop... even before Play Style, I was teaching and coaching these guys... He ran off 67 straight threes... he runs off 105 straight corner threes. I'm like, what am I looking at? This is this, there is a few moments in that where as a young coach, like, what am I watching right now?

While 'hardest worker ever' is an opinion, Loucks's specific stories about 100+ consecutive made threes are widely corroborated anecdotes.
