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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
