The success of the Golden Knights makes the rest of the NHL look bad for giving up those players

It's kind of going to make the rest of the league look really bad because all the other teams gave up all these guys, and they're all like the quote-unquote NHL rejects.

Vegas went to the Stanley Cup Finals in their first year, which historically supported the idea that they found massive value in other teams' castoffs.

The NCAA vacating titles is the dumbest penalty because you can't actually take away a title that people watched

Is this not the dumbest, most NCAA penalty? Just being like, yeah, all those memories don't exist anymore. [Louisville's] fans are just... Really, the only thing that it punishes Louisville in is that Kentucky fans can now say they didn't win that. But other than that, you can't just take away a title. That doesn't work.

Whether vacating titles is 'dumb' is a matter of opinion, but his claim that fans will still treat them as champions is generally true.

Ice dancing is just figure skating for betas

Ice dancing is just figure skating for betas. It's figure skating for people that weren't good enough to do the jumps.

Subjective value judgment on a sport.

You can't have a tie in the Olympics; make them go again

I also saw that the bobsled team from Canada and Germany tied. Both got golds. How is that possible? Again, I'm not trying to be an Olympic hater, but you can't have a tie in the Olympics. You can't. It's the Olympics. Make them do it again. Go down one more time. What the hell are they doing?

This is a subjective opinion on how sports should be structured.

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.

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.
