A three-quarter-inch bottom-line ticker is unnecessary and sports broadcasts are better without it

I'll take sports back on TV... you can take [the ticker] away, that I can live without... I've seen some games where the bottom line just like not working sometimes... and the games I think are actually better without that, you know, eighth of an inch at the bottom of my screen taken up.

This is a subjective aesthetic preference regarding broadcast graphics.

Bringing in outside free agents will backfire for the Falcons by destroying Dan Quinn's 'locker room loyalty' weapon

The Falcons look great on paper, but if you're bringing in all these like new people from the outside that's taken away Dan Quinn's best weapon, which is just having a locker room full of guys that know him and like them... you get these new voices in and they're not going to be going bad for you when you start four and seven.

The Falcons started 0-5 in 2020 and Dan Quinn was fired in October, suggesting the team culture/loyalty did indeed collapse.

Bill Belichick should tank the 2020 season to draft Trevor Lawrence

Is there a chance that the Patriots Bill Belichick is going to tank this year with Brian Hoyer as the quarterback... he's greatest coach of all time. Would that not also make him the greatest tanker of all time and then they somehow get Trevor Lawrence and it's another 20 years.

The Patriots did not tank; they signed Cam Newton and tried to compete, finishing 7-9. Trevor Lawrence went #1 overall to the Jaguars.

Bill Belichick believes his system can carry a team to 11 wins even with a below-average quarterback

I actually think the Belichick with Hoyer, he's trying to recapture that magic he had and what was it 2009 when Matt Cassel took over for a season, I think Belichick thinks like if I have an average-ly talented or slightly below average quarterback and he knows my system, my system will will us to 11 wins.

The Patriots finished the 2020 season 7-9 and missed the playoffs, so Belichick's system did not carry them to 11 wins with Cam Newton/Brian Hoyer.

The Knicks will probably win the series in five games or even sweep the Cavs

I still think that the, the Knicks are probably gonna win in five. They could even pull off the sweep. I guess the only real question we have for you, 'cause we already, we declared that the New York Knicks have won the series after game one. Correct.

The series is currently ongoing with the Knicks leading 2-0.

The NBA should rebrand the 'granny shot' as the 'pimp grip' to encourage players to use it

Nobody, no player in the NBA wants to shoot a free throw granny style. But if it's pimp grip, that sounds pretty fucking cool. Listen, if it goes in, it doesn't matter. Like if he and he would, he actually probably get some endorsements from it.

This is a comedic suggestion and not a verifiable fact claim.

I want the Thunder to win so we can love Victor Wembanyama longer before the inevitable hate cycle starts

I know who I want to win. I want the Thunder to win this series. And the reason why I want the thunder to win this series is because I think if the thunder win, we get to restart the clock on how much longer we get to love Weby before we hate 'em. If the Spurs win this series and then they win their first championship and Weby dominates, we're gonna eventually hate Weby.

The outcome of the series is pending, and the 'hate cycle' is a subjective sociological prediction.
