The Patriots only let Tom Brady go to Tampa Bay because they couldn't prove tampering, and it's actually a master plan by Bill Belichick to get draft picks

The only reason the Patriots let Tom go to Tampa Bay was that they couldn't wrap them into a tampering charge... this could be Belichick's master plan to get Tampa docked all the draft pictures and to have both Tom and Gronk returned to New England with like three extra third rounders.

No tampering charges were ever filed, and Brady and Gronkowski went on to win a Super Bowl in Tampa Bay.

I'm pivoting Leroy into grading the scoops of actual insiders instead of breaking news

I'd like to pivot [Leroy] out of the breaking news game, put him out to stud, put him out to retire... and then use the account to grade the scoops of actual insiders. Leroy serves as the judge and says this scoop goes to [whoever].

The Leroy account did occasionally interact with other insiders, but the formal 'grading' system was not consistently maintained.

I don't think Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski will retire as Buccaneers, unless they win a Super Bowl

Do you think Tom Brady and Gronk will retire as Buccaneers when they go into Canton? No. I think it might [happen] if they win a Super Bowl, but there's definitely like a one side of me [that] makes it sense... it's like a one last hurrah, to Florida, nice weather... I just can't do it. I can't be like the biggest Bucs fan.

While both had iconic careers in New England, winning a Super Bowl in Tampa Bay cemented their Bucs legacy; however, Brady ultimately signed a one-day contract to retire as a Patriot.

Bill Belichick is cold-blooded and will always choose assets over personal beef

Belichick is the most likely [to make the Gronk trade]. He's like, oh I get a free asset. Most other coaches would be like no. I'm going to let my personal beef standing between me and making the right choice. Belichick is so cold blooded. He'll just be like, yes, I will get something for nothing.

The Patriots successfully turned a retired Gronkowski into a 4th-round draft pick (which became Justin Rohrwasser).

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.
