Jeff Bezos is still interested in buying the Celtics despite reports to the contrary

I'm gonna dispute that report and say [Jeff Bezos] is not done [being interested]. He probably wants to buy a football team... but if you're a billionaire like Bezos, it's probably easier to buy a team that's not in complete disrepair and take that over like the Celtics. You've got a winner, a proven winner already. So I'm gonna dispute that report and say he's not done.

Bezos did not buy the Celtics, and subsequent reporting reinforced his lack of interest.

The PMT crew would beat any other podcast in a swimming relay

I think as a podcast though, we could beat pretty much any other podcast in a swimming relay. We showed some impressive skills [at Barstool Summer Camp].

This is a hypothetical matchup that likely can't be resolved unless they host a literal podcast swimming meet.

If you are ultra-wealthy and don't own a sports team, you're a weirdo

I'm fully supporting Jeff Bezos buying any team because it goes back to my original, my longtime take that if you're that rich and you don't own a sports team, you're a fucking weirdo.

Subjective opinion on the lifestyle of billionaires.

Texas will win the National Championship

The Texas Longhorns. I like the Texas Longhorns... Texas is back. We might see Arch Manning if Ewers has any issues. But I think that Ewers is still obviously one of the best quarterbacks in college football. And their hardest game is Georgia. They have that at home. And with the expanded playoffs... Texas will also benefit.

Texas did not win the National Championship. They lost to Ohio State 28-14 in the Cotton Bowl (CFP semifinal). Ohio State won the title.

The Celtics are statistically a better team without Jaylen Brown

Jalen Brown has the second worst plus minus of any five time All Star over the past 10 years... Also the Celtics win more games without Jalen Brown than when he is playing... Last year with, with Jalen Brown, they won 66% of their games without, they won 80%... Their entire career with Jalen Brown. They are 263 and 1 31. That's 67% without Brown. There're 60 and 26, 70%.

The stats provided are fictional/hypothetical within the 2026 setting, but presented as fact to support a 'Ewing Theory' style take.

The Celtics are no longer eligible to be the NBA's team of the 2020s without Jaylen Brown

If the Celtics rebuild and they get back to like the NBA finals, let's say in like 2029, let's say they win another chip in 2029, that's a different team. Like the core is completely different without Jalen Brown. I don't know that you could consider the Celtics to ever even be eligible for team of the 2020s. Because it's gonna be two different iterations of the team.

Inherently subjective criteria for what constitutes a 'team of the decade'.

FIFA must change the rule so a red card does not result in a next-game suspension

I think it's just a, a terrible rule that if you get a red card from a game that you're also suspended for the next game. Yeah. You're already serving your punishment by, by sitting out the rest of that game and your team has to go down one player. Why do you have to sit out the next game?

This is a subjective opinion on sporting rules.
