Mark DeRosa intentionally threw the game to Team Italy because of his Italian heritage

A lot of people were talking about, the last name [DeRosa] is Italian. Very Italian. And he seemed to throw this game to Italy. I'm just saying connect the dots. Paesan.

This is a humorous conspiracy theory based on a surname coincidence.

Miami of Ohio 100% deserves to be in the NCAA Tournament despite their first-round loss

I think a hundred percent they should be in. We need to just focus on the fact that there, I believe 31 and one and not do anything about strength of schedule. If you're able to go an entire season without losing a game that's hard to just wake up every day and not stumble once. I wanna see what happens when they play their first quad win one game in the middle of March.

This is part of the satirical 'Future' bit; Miami of Ohio was not 31-1 in 2026 (or 2024).

Villanova is 100% in the tournament and has a 0% chance of reaching the Sweet 16

Nova's just gonna be the team. They're gonna get in and then everyone's gonna be like, oh yeah, this team's losing first round. Yes, they'll probably drop a drop to the 8-9 [seed], which sucks because then there's a 0% chance that Villanova gets to the Sweet 16.

Villanova made the tournament as an 8 seed and lost in the first round to Utah State. Both parts of the prediction were correct.

Conference tournaments are bad for top teams because they don't improve your seeding and lead to unnecessary fatigue

I'm kind of done with the conference tournaments. Like they just fuck you. It doesn't make your seed better and you end up being more tired today. If you have to play four games, you're just gonna get screwed.

The value of conference tournaments for high-seeded teams is a perennial debate in sports media.

The Knicks have priced out real fans at Madison Square Garden

I do think it got to the point where they priced out the real fans a little bit... I think the lowest ticket price was like 8,000.

While subjective, secondary market data for Finals often supports the 'pricing out' theory in major markets.

Victor Wembanyama is a dirty player

I guess specifically, like, I think [Wembanyama] might be a dirty guy. I think he might be a dirty player... The [shove on] Jalen Brunson, like the, what was that? That was crazy.

Whether a player is 'dirty' is inherently a matter of opinion.

College football is now on an honor system with no ability to enforce rules

College football is on the honor system now now. So if you wanna self-report, if you wanna suspend your own players for stuff, you're more than welcome to do so. But just know that the rest of the schools probably won't be doing that.

The legal landscape currently supports the idea that the NCAA has lost significant enforcement leverage.
