The NFL schedule release will eventually become a massive corporate primetime event with a bracket

At some point Roger Goodell is gonna do to the schedule release what he's done with the draft and just market the shit out of it and like take it on the road each year and turn it into like an hour long, two hour long primetime event where he just announces like one week's worth at a time... it's gonna be a massive fucking corporatized sensation.

The NFL has already turned it into a primetime TV special, though they haven't yet reached the 'traveling road show' level of the Draft.

If you are a top five player, you have to be able to pull your team out of the depths of hell

If you're a top five guy—and actually Jayson Tatum said it after the game, humbly, 'I'm one of the best players in the world'—if you're that guy, you have to be able to take your team out of the depths of hell in those moments. And that's exactly what [Tatum] did.

This is a subjective standard for superstardom.

NBA Game 7s are a completely different animal where momentum means nothing

Momentum doesn't matter. That's one thing that I've learned is momentum means nothing. Because going into this series, going into this game, all the, all the momentum was going towards the Sixers after the Celtics won two, it looked like the Sixers were dead. Momentum means nothing. Game seven is one game. Throw out everything else.

The Celtics won Game 7 decisively (112-88), arguably carrying the momentum from their Game 6 road win.

The pairing of James Harden and Doc Rivers in a Game 7 does not look good on paper

If you have James Harden and Doc Rivers with their powers combined in a game seven, that doesn't look very good for the 76ers on paper.

This proved correct as the Sixers were blown out in Game 7 and Doc Rivers was subsequently fired.

The Knicks will probably win the series in five games or even sweep the Cavs

I still think that the, the Knicks are probably gonna win in five. They could even pull off the sweep. I guess the only real question we have for you, 'cause we already, we declared that the New York Knicks have won the series after game one. Correct.

The series is currently ongoing with the Knicks leading 2-0.

The NBA should rebrand the 'granny shot' as the 'pimp grip' to encourage players to use it

Nobody, no player in the NBA wants to shoot a free throw granny style. But if it's pimp grip, that sounds pretty fucking cool. Listen, if it goes in, it doesn't matter. Like if he and he would, he actually probably get some endorsements from it.

This is a comedic suggestion and not a verifiable fact claim.

I want the Thunder to win so we can love Victor Wembanyama longer before the inevitable hate cycle starts

I know who I want to win. I want the Thunder to win this series. And the reason why I want the thunder to win this series is because I think if the thunder win, we get to restart the clock on how much longer we get to love Weby before we hate 'em. If the Spurs win this series and then they win their first championship and Weby dominates, we're gonna eventually hate Weby.

The outcome of the series is pending, and the 'hate cycle' is a subjective sociological prediction.
