Alex Ovechkin will return to the Capitals for another year next season

Does that mean that Ovie's coming back for another year next year? I think he might. I think if we make the playoffs, he might be back next year. I realized this this last week because he's played pretty good.

Ovechkin's status for the 2026-27 season is still technically unknown at the time of the take.

Rory McIlroy is ducking this podcast and it is a glaring empty spot on his resume

A lot of people are saying that Rory can't go on the big one. That he's been ducking this and that's gonna be the one glaring empty spot on his resume when everyone looks at it, when it's all said and done.

While Rory has never appeared on PMT, the idea that it is a 'glaring empty spot' on his actual professional resume is humorously subjective.

Rory McIlroy would have choked this Masters away if he hadn't won last year

I actually think that if he didn't win last year, this one, he would've probably choked away because he kind of had that huge lead. He had a six-stroke lead going into the weekend. He did not play great on Saturday. Everyone kind of caught up to him. He didn't make any huge, huge mistakes on the back nine because he felt confident.

This is a psychological counter-factual that cannot be proven, but it aligns with Rory's history of major struggles prior to 2025.

Scottie Scheffler missed his critical putt on 17 because he knows the course too much and overthinks it

The putt on 17 just didn't turn at the last second. It was like half a ball that he missed by. Sometimes these guys know the course too much and they overthink the course. It's like if you're married to somebody for like 60 years, all you do is fight. You know, you lose sight of what makes that person so great.

A common golf trope about over-reading greens, though impossible to verify.

The NBA should implement dynamic beer pricing based on team records to solve tanking

NBA mandates that all beers cost $10 for all teams at the start of the season. Teams can increase prices by 35 cents per win and must decrease them by 20 cents per loss. One beer at a Oklahoma City Thunder game would cost $22.70. One beer at a Washington Wizards game would cost 10 cents. You can tank if you want, but you're not gonna make any money off beer sales.

While it's a satirical proposal, the logic behind the financial penalty for bad teams is soundly argued.
