Lonzo Ball's shooting form will get stuffed to the rafters in the NBA

I'm liking that left ear release. It's going to get stuffed to the rafters in the NBA, but I love it. It's going to be great to watch, though. At first, when I'd watch [Lonzo Ball] shoot, I'd be like, that's like watching Jim Furyk swing a golf club. No way can this guy be good.

Lonzo Ball did struggle with shooting efficiency early in his career and eventually had to rework his mechanics, though he became a serviceble shooter before injuries.

The ACC is soft

The ACC is dead... The ACC is soft. Sucks, and they're soft.

The ACC famously struggled in the 2017 tournament, with only one team (UNC) reaching the Sweet 16 despite having 9 bids.

The Big Ten is back

The Big Ten is back.

The Big Ten had three teams in the Sweet 16 in 2017, which was considered a bounce-back year for the conference.

Upsets in the first round usually mean bad games in the second round

Upsets in the first round usually mean bad games in the second round. We didn't have a lot of upsets in the first round. We had some pretty good games in the second round.

Subjective sports theory, but generally supported by the idea that higher seeds provide better competition.

The Detroit Pistons are moving in the right direction despite their Game 7 loss

The progression of the Pistons along the way is like, what were they, two years ago? They won like 16 or 18 games. They were so bad. Last year they had competitive series against The Knicks. Then this year, the natural progression from that is, let's take the regular season super seriously. Let's win all the games that we can get a high seed... I would say the totality of this season, we're still going the right direction in Detroit.

The Pistons did indeed improve from 14 wins in 2023-24 to a high seed in 2026, making the trajectory claim historically accurate within the show's timeline.

I will renounce my American citizenship and become French if the Canadiens win the Stanley Cup

I will renounce American citizenship and become French if the Canadiens win the Stanley Cup this year... I'll probably need somebody to come and hang out with me and... the south of France is nice.

The 2026 Stanley Cup winner is pending. If Montreal wins, we await PFT's French naturalization.

Patrick Reed is the first PAWG in the history of professional golf.

Patrick Reed, let me tell you, I think he might be the first PAWG golfer. He is. He's thick as hell. Like he was filling out. He also wears... the tight pants... he looks like early era Meghan Trainor... He bends over. He's like, ooh.
