Isaiah Thomas might not be a great second-half player, but rather a terrible first-half player

I think what we're overlooking here when we talk about Isaiah's great second-half performances is he might be the worst NBA point guard in the first quarter... I'm not ready to say that [Isaiah Thomas] is a great second-half player. I think he might just be a really shitty first-half player.

Isaiah Thomas frequently trailed in the first half during this run only to have massive scoring bursts late, supporting the spirit of the take.

The Cavaliers are going to sweep the Raptors

The Cavs are going to sweep the Raptors. Get us to the conference final. Get us to the finals.

The Cavaliers did indeed sweep the Raptors 4-0 in the 2017 Eastern Conference Semifinals.

Sidney Crosby was only injured because there is a lack of fighting in modern hockey

The real issue is Sidney Crosby only got hit in his head like that because there's not as much fighting in hockey as there used to be. Because if this was back in the good old days, then players would know you can't go after another player's head like that. So the Penguins, they're too big of pussies. And they have no enforcer, so they are the ones that got Sidney Crosby injured.

The Penguins won the Stanley Cup anyway, and Crosby returned quickly, but the logic about fighting preventing head hits is highly debated and largely scientifically unsupported in the concussion era.

The Capitals deserve an asterisk if they win the Stanley Cup this year

Capitals, do whatever you got to do, asterisks. Rest of the playoffs, asterisk... If they win the cup, I want an asterisk.

The Capitals didn't even win the cup this year (the Penguins did), making the asterisk moot.

The MLB All-Star Game is boring and the National League should have won easily

This game was pretty boring. I gotta be honest. The Allstar game was kind of boring. Kind of ironic that the American League wins in a year where it feels like the American League is just, you know, they've getting their ass kicked by the National League. And then if you look at the star power on each team, it feels like the National League should win this pretty easily.

The AL did win the 2026 All-Star game, confirming the outcome mentioned in the transcript.

The US is hosting the World Cup and shouldn't be playing weekday matches at 2 PM just to cater to the European TV audience.

I got one thing to complain about with these games. Why are we playing them at 2:00 PM on a weekday? We're trying to get the European audience for sure. But it's our World Cup. We're hosting it. We should be playing these kickoffs, should be at 6:00 PM at the earliest.

This is a subjective opinion about tournament scheduling logistics.

Jared Goff is one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL and should be ranked higher than Dak Prescott and Justin Herbert.

Jared Goff should be higher too. Jared should be six. Jared Goff, if you look at his stats, since he's joined the Lions outside that very first year, but his recent stats, he's been one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL. You can't really make an argument otherwise.

Quarterback rankings are inherently subjective, though Goff's strong statistical performance with the Lions supports PFT's argument.
