The NBA off-court drama is more entertaining than the actual games

The NBA is like – I find the off-court stuff more entertaining than the actual product itself and that's why I think that it's it's such a [successful] league... because people are just obsessed with the drama. It's like an episode of WAGS but you don't even need the wives or girlfriends, you need the players.

Subjective opinion on entertainment value.

No work gets done in corporate America between the day before Thanksgiving and January 3rd

I would go one step further than that and say the year's over. No work gets done in corporate America between the day before Thanksgiving and, you know, after New Year's... and January 3rd. Get those out-of-office replies ready.

This is a subjective observation of corporate culture, though many would agree the 'holiday slide' is real.

I'm still holding onto my take that Aaron Donald is too undersized to be successful

What Aaron Donald is doing as an interior lineman is insane. I still think [Donald] is too undersized to be successful... the people who are yelling that this is not football anymore, I think that's a little bit of an overreaction.

Aaron Donald is one of the greatest defensive players ever, making the 'too small' take hilariously wrong.

I'm taking the Bears -3.5 against the Lions on Thanksgiving

Right now the Bears are favored by 3.5 points. I like the Bears. The defense looks legit... I would take them by 10.

The Bears beat the Lions 23-16 on Thanksgiving 2018, covering the 3.5 point spread.

The Toronto Maple Leafs hiring John Chayka as GM is laughable given his track record

to get the the the one of the biggest, if not the biggest jobs in hockey as far as the general manager with the track record he has is laughable. Listen, maybe he ends up going on to have success. But to get... the biggest jobs in hockey... with the track record he has is laughable.

The hire was highly controversial in the hockey community, but its ultimate success will be judged by the Leafs' playoff performance.

John Chayka is a 'snake oil salesman' who lost his credibility in the NHL

I've talked to 20 people around the league and 19 of 'em have told me that this guy has no credibility. He's a snake, snake oil salesman. He's full of and just basically like like question completely question the guy's character.

Chayka's reputation in the league is a matter of widely reported controversy, making Biz's characterization consistent with many reports.

Gavin McKenna... who a kid I wanna follow. He's gonna be, I think he's gonna be a phenom. I'm gonna follow wherever he goes. Well now I don't get to follow him... because I'm sure the Leafs are gonna draft him.

McKenna is widely considered the top prospect for his draft class and a future NHL star.
