Bill Belichick trading back in the draft just to spite the Jets was a brilliant move

The Patriots traded that draft pick to the Steelers because they knew that the Jets wanted to take Broderick Jones... They even got less than they should have gotten from the Steelers because they wanted to move that pick so badly... specifically so they could fuck the New York Jets. That's brilliant.

This was widely reported as the intended outcome of the trade, as Jones was the last top-tier tackle on the board and the Jets were forced to pivot.

LeBron James might be better as a Robin than a Batman for the Lakers

I think what we're seeing is LeBron might be better as a Robin than he is as a Batman. They've got a true number one option finally on the Lakers in AD who looks healthier than we had predicted.

The Lakers did lean heavily on Davis during their 2023 WCF run, but the dynamic remains a shared leadership. LeBron's role as a playmaker makes the Batman/Robin dynamic subjective.

My fear of the Lakers making a championship run has reached a new level

My fear of LeBron and the Lakers making a championship run has elevated to another rung. So I do think this is gonna be a great series. I obviously, you know, like game one, especially the Warriors coming off of game seven, I don't know how they're gonna solve for the fact that the Lakers are just taller than them.

The Lakers did make a run to the Western Conference Finals, though they were ultimately swept by the Nuggets. Big Cat's fear was justified as they beat the defending champ Warriors.

NBA playoff teams should only wear their classic home and road jerseys

When you're in the playoffs, you wear your jerseys, you wear your classic jerseys, you wear your home, you wear your road. Like don't fuck it up. ... I don't want your city connect. I don't want your 17th Nike jersey. ... I do sound like an old man right now, but I want your classic jersey playing in the playoffs.

This is a matter of personal aesthetic preference and tradition.

Duke would have won the National Championship by 50 points if they had reached the final.

I think if Duke plays in the championship game, they win by 50. Easily. That was a wasted opportunity.

This is a hyperbolic counterfactual that cannot be proven, making it subjective.

Michigan is already the favorite to win the National Championship again next season.

Michigan I think is right now the favorites to win next season. Tough to win back to back, but he has to hit the portal. He has to be active... which he already is.

This is a prediction for the next college basketball season.

College basketball is now 'pay to win' and that's unsustainable

It's a pay to win tournament. Like basketball is ruined. Unsustainable. Yeah, that's the new word that I keep hearing.

Subjective opinion about the direction of college sports governance.
