College football conferences are completely made up and mean nothing

The conferences are just, they're not—they're made up, completely made up. So you can have SEC pride or you can have Big 12 pride, but at the end of the day, it really doesn't mean anything. Once [the leaders] get exposed for really just keeping things strung together with duct tape and string so that they can make a shitload of money, they don't really have any sort of a moral or legal recourse to anything.

Given the massive realignment that followed (Pac-12 dissolving, regionality dying), this take proved to be quite prescient regarding the priorities of college sports.

Aaron Rodgers is a diva for returning to the Packers and taking Blake Bortles' job

Aaron Rodgers decided that he was going to be a diva and take Blake Bortles' job. [Bortles] got cut, Aaron Rodgers un-retired. I know deep down I was like he's obviously gonna come back, but I also believed that maybe he would actually retire.

Rodgers did return to Green Bay and Bortles was indeed cut. The characterization of Rodgers as a 'diva' is subjective but widely debated.

Tennis is a lifestyle or a leisure, not a real sport

I would say that tennis is more of an event. Yeah. Tennis is a lifestyle. Not really a sport. If you pick up a sport after you retire, that's not a sport. The thing they always say like, 'Hey, take up golf and tennis because you can play it for your whole life.' Well, that's not a sport. It's a leisure.

This is a hyperbolic, subjective definition of 'sport' used for comedic effect.

The Green Bay Packers are the least desirable team to play for in the NFL

The Green Bay Packers are a classless organization by cutting Blake Bortles. Probably least desirable team to play for in the NFL, according to Aaron Rodgers, not me, Aaron Rodgers. If you're a free agent listening to the show right now, Will Compton, don't you dare go to the Green Bay Packers because they will mistreat you.

Whether they are the 'least desirable' is a matter of opinion, but Rodgers' press conference did objectively highlight many of these internal issues.

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.
