The 76ers should shut down Joel Embiid and tank for Cooper Flagg

They stink. Joel Embiid, they should shut him down for the season and they should tank for Cooper Flagg.

The 76ers did effectively shut down Embiid (he played only 19 games before knee surgery) and finished 24-58, 13th in the East. However, the Dallas Mavericks got the #1 pick and drafted Cooper Flagg, not the 76ers.

The Rams could have won the Super Bowl last year if a few things had broken differently

I went away from the playoffs being like the Rams were right there. If a couple things break differently, they could have feasibly won the Super Bowl.

The Rams lost to the Eagles in the divisional round; whether they could have won it all is subjective but they were competitive.

Sam Darnold will take less money to play for the Rams next season

I think [Sam Darnold] probably would take a little bit less money to play for, for Los Angeles than another team if it came down to that.

PFT Commenter predicted Sam Darnold would take less money to play for the Rams. Darnold signed a 3-year, $110.5M deal with the Seattle Seahawks, not the Rams. He did not take less money or go to Los Angeles.

Alex Ovechkin will break the NHL goal record this season against the Penguins on April 17th

I think he's gonna do it this year. I think he's gonna do it against the [Penguins] at the end of the season... having him break it right in Sidney Crosby's face would be incredible. It's the last game of the regular season at Pittsburgh.

Ovechkin broke the NHL goal record on April 6, 2025, against the New York Islanders at UBS Arena, not against the Penguins on April 17th as predicted. He scored goal #895 to pass Gretzky's record of 894.

AJ Brown's time with the Philadelphia Eagles is officially over

Well, AJ Brown is no longer a member of the Eagles. That's, he is not gonna be... There's so many, there's so many suitors out there.

AJ Brown signed a massive contract extension with the Eagles and stayed with the team.

Daryl Morey is a good talent evaluator but a bad team builder

Daryl Morey has done a lot of good things for the future of the 76ers... He is a very good drafter... He's very good at evaluating talent. He's not very good at putting a team together, which is probably pretty important for a GM.

This is a subjective assessment of a GM's career tenure.

The Bucks would be idiotic not to trade Giannis Antetokounmpo now

You gotta turn the page and this is the best way to do it. 'Cause you can get real, you get real [picks] and like jumpstart your next chapter. You gotta trade him. You have to, it would be idiotic not to trade him at this point.

Subjective team-building philosophy.
