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.

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.

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 Knicks will sweep the Cavaliers in four games

Yeah. I mean it's, it is over Knicks in four. It's over.

Depends on the outcome of the specific 2026 playoff series.

Victor Wembanyama is a disappointment if he doesn't win seven championships

He has to win a minimum seven championships... has to. If he doesn't, disappointment.

Winning seven rings is nearly impossible in the modern NBA; even one or two would be a success.

Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner are going to have sex with each other because of their mutual respect

These guys are gonna fuck if they haven't fucked already. Holy shit. They're, they respect each other so much as competitors and as rivals, they're going to fuck each other. It's not even a question.

Inherently unresolvable and based on a fake quote anyway.
