The addition of Kevin Durant to the Warriors was bound to screw up the team's chemistry

This is a classic. There's just one ball. We all predicted this when [Durant] went out there that it was going to screw up the team chemistry. We were right. It just took us a longer time than we thought to get there.

While there was a public spat between Green and Durant, the Warriors still won 57 games and made the NBA Finals that season, though they did eventually lose and Durant left.

Eli Manning is definitely going to be in the Hall of Fame

He's going to be in the Hall of Fame, which we can embrace debate. I actually looked through his numbers. I did some deep diving. It's interesting to be like he's a Hall of Famer for sure and then look at his career and be like half the seasons you had to even ask if he was good.

Eli Manning was not inducted into the Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility (2025 class), despite being a finalist. He is a finalist again for the 2026 class. The take said 'definitely going to be in' — he likely will eventually, but he wasn't first-ballot.

The Rams will have 'super strength' by training at high altitude before returning to sea level

The LA Rams went to Colorado Springs to practice in altitude all week... Will they have super strength by going back down to sea level? Okay, so yes. I was going to say, if there's any other answer, then yes, you're wrong.

While training at altitude has physiological benefits, 'super strength' is a hyperbolic term. The Rams did beat the Chiefs in a high-scoring game following this.

Kevin Durant is definitely leaving the Warriors in free agency

The Golden State Warriors are imploding. And now, this is probably an overreaction. Everything you're about to listen to is an overreaction, but this is what, when a team wins as much as the Warriors, we have to overreact... and they all just go their separate ways.

Kevin Durant did leave the Warriors for the Brooklyn Nets in July 2019.

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.
