The NHL is potentially rigged for certain ratings-friendly matchups

The whole debate that we were having last night about the NHL being rigged? Because I think that you're insane for not thinking... the NHL would prefer to have caps first penguins. One last showdown between [Ovechkin and Crosby].

There is no evidence the NHL is rigged, and the Caps/Pens matchup PFT wanted didn't even happen in the 2022 playoffs.

The winner of Game 5 in a 2-2 series wins the series 83% of the time.

Here's a fun stat... if you look at it, that that is a correct, but the more important stat is 83% of the time that a series is tied 2-2, that winner of game five goes on to win the series.

This is a statistically verifiable historical fact in the NBA playoffs.

The Heat and Suns will both win their Game 6 matchups.

And honestly, like, I, I would bet that both of these teams that won tonight are probably going to win game six.

The Miami Heat won their Game 6 against the Sixers, but the Phoenix Suns lost their Game 6 to the Dallas Mavericks.

Skip Bayless definitely has burner accounts on Twitter

This is proof. Skip Bayless has burners. I've got a mission now for the next three weeks, which would be to find, skip Bayless's burners and see what the takes that he puts out on the burn. The ones that like, he doesn't think are ready for prime time yet the ones that he's testing out.

This is a widespread belief based on Skip occasionally replying to himself or referencing his own tweets, but it has never been formally proven or 'unmasked' like Kevin Durant's burners.

The USMNT has a massive drop-off in talent between the starters and the backups

I will say that our, our second stringers, there's a pretty big fall off between the talent level of our starters and I'd say most of our, our backups, especially on the defensive end. It was not, it didn't, it didn't look inspiring. Yeah, we are, we are not a deep, deep team.

The take is a subjective evaluation of team depth.

Trading LaMelo Ball to the Timberwolves makes them the most interesting team in the NBA

I think it, it instantly makes the Timberwolves like the most interesting team. Yeah. Because I have no idea what the fuck is gonna happen with this combination.

Whether a team is 'most interesting' is entirely subjective.

I’m opting out of all Caitlin Clark discourse until she wins something

Can I just, can I say something about the Caitlin Clark situation? I would like to opt out of all Caitlin Clark discourse until she wins something. Why are we wasting all this time? She can't win the big one. She talking about a loser. She's never, she's never won a title.
