No one is beating Duke in the 2019 NCAA Tournament

I mean, it's Duke's year. No one is beating Duke. No one. This is not happening. They are a special team with a special coach.

Duke lost to Michigan State 68-67 in the Elite Eight of the 2019 tournament, failing to even reach the Final Four despite the hype.

The AAF outrating the NBA proves America loves football over everything else

We [the AAF] outrated the NBA game, the primetime NBA game, showing that America loves football over everything else, which we already know and we agree with.

The AAF debut on CBS did indeed outrate the NBA's primetime game that weekend, drawing 2.9 million viewers.

The AAF should schedule their season to end exactly when March Madness begins

What would be great is if they did the schedule... when you get to February, you can play the remainder of your season so that the Super Bowl of the AAF ends right before March Madness begins. Because I'm just being totally honest... there are certain points in the year of sports that I just won't choose a minor league football team... over what I usually watch.

The AAF folded mid-season in April 2019, never completing its first year or reaching a Super Bowl. Future spring leagues like the UFL have struggled with this exact scheduling conflict.

Tom Brady is a prisoner of his own success because of his extreme superstitions

Tom Brady's success is so successful and won so many Super Bowls, how many little things like this do you think he does in a day-to-day basis where he's like, well, it's helped me get to where I'm at? He's basically stuck in the most superstitious life of all time... He's permanently stuck upside down because he keeps winning Super Bowls... He's a prisoner of his own success.

Brady's superstitions and rigid lifestyle are well-documented (TB12 method, etc.).

The Chiefs' window never closed

I don't think we ever actually closed the Chiefs' window. I think Mahomes was just in bed because he was injured, far away from the window.

The Chiefs' long-term contention status is ultimately subjective, though their dynasty remained active at the time of the episode.

Mahomes will be back to himself by season's end

By the end of this season, Mahomes is gonna be back to being Mahomes.

Whether Mahomes returned to his established level by the end of the 2026 NFL season had not yet been resolved.

The Oregon loss could turn Dan Lanning into a psychopath

I don't think that Dan Lanning has slept since that loss. I think Dan Lanning has turned into an absolute psycho because of this loss. He's sick. It actually might be a dangerous thing for the rest of the Big Ten that Oregon lost that game.

Whether the loss made Oregon more dangerous over the rest of the season is a future, testable team-performance claim.
