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].

Hot TakeHockeyHotSarcastic
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.

Duke would have won the National Championship by 50 points if they had reached the final.

I think if Duke plays in the championship game, they win by 50. Easily. That was a wasted opportunity.

This is a hyperbolic counterfactual that cannot be proven, making it subjective.

Michigan is already the favorite to win the National Championship again next season.

Michigan I think is right now the favorites to win next season. Tough to win back to back, but he has to hit the portal. He has to be active... which he already is.

This is a prediction for the next college basketball season.

College basketball is now 'pay to win' and that's unsustainable

It's a pay to win tournament. Like basketball is ruined. Unsustainable. Yeah, that's the new word that I keep hearing.

Subjective opinion about the direction of college sports governance.
