I want to put a take out there into The Ether real quick. I think this is your Gonzaga makes a Final Four.

The 2020 NCAA Tournament was cancelled due to COVID-19. Gonzaga made the Final Four the following year (2021).

I think we're going to break the record this year for the amount of times 'This is March' is uttered

I think we're going to break a record this year for the amount of times 'This is March' has uttered shout-out to our friend John Rothstein for creating that phrase.

The phrase became a massive staple of the show's March coverage in 2020 (until the tournament was canceled due to COVID-19).

Tony Romo shouldn't have signed for $17M if it means he can't skip games for golf tournaments

Does [Romo] get to skip certain games to go playing golf tournament still? ... if he's getting paid that much ... Tony Romo can't sneak away to play in like the Bob Hope program ... is it really worth it?

The take is subjective based on personal values regarding work-life balance versus $17 million.

ESPN wanted Tony Romo so the NFL would give them better matchups

I think they were just ESPN was thinking if we get [Romo] in our booth then maybe we'll get like some Steelers Patriots matchups on Monday Night Football figure it out later... having a guy that Roger Goodell likes working for your company will make Roger Goodell just like give you all the business advantages.

While speculative, networks often use high-profile booths to lobby for better game slates, and ESPN did eventually get a better schedule with the addition of Buck and Aikman later.

The Brewers have the Dodgers beaten psychologically

I feel like Brewers kind of got 'em where they want him psychologically—two in a row, started the series off, and the Dodgers are panicking now.

This is an interpretation of the teams' mental state, so it is inherently subjective.

The Rams will win at least 11 games

If you're gonna look for a bet right now, take the Rams over 10 and a half wins. They're fine. I'll say they'll be seven and three at or six and four at worst—seven and three most likely—going into the Packers game on Thanksgiving.

The Rams' 2026 regular-season win total will not be resolved until the NFL regular season ends.

Shohei Ohtani's slump started when the Dodgers owner came under investigation

What is going on truly with Shohei? You look at when this cold streak started, and it was August 18th. The Los Angeles Lakers were sold on August 17th, and I believe news of the investigation kind of hit a peak shortly thereafter. I just think it's interesting timing.

There is no established causal link between the ownership investigation and Ohtani's performance; the claim is speculative.
