The Tampa Bay Lightning was allegedly founded as a money laundering operation for the Yakuza

Allegedly, the first owner of The Lightning may not have existed. And if he did exist, may have been in the Yakuza. No reporters have ever heard of the guy. All of a sudden his face shows up in the official team program. Never goes to a game, never sets foot in the United States. And his investments overseas in Japan are tied to some properties that are heavily involved with allegedly organized crime in Japan.

While it remains a legendary rumor with significant circumstantial evidence, it has never been legally proven as a Yakuza operation.

I'm officially excited for the future of the 76ers core featuring V.J. Edgecombe and Tyrese Maxey

I'm excited for the future of the 76ers after watching V.J. Edgecombe and Tyrese Maxey in that game. V.J. Edgecombe is insane—youngest player in NBA history to go for 30 points and 10 rebounds in a playoff game. He's a beast and he's 19 years old.

V.J. Edgecombe was indeed drafted by the Philadelphia 76ers with the 3rd overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft. He also became the youngest player in NBA history to record 30 points and 10 rebounds in a playoff game, achieving this on April 21, 2026, in Game 2 of the First Round against the Celtics. However, at the time of this achievement and the podcast's air date (April 22, 2026), V.J. Edgecombe was 20 years old, not 19, as he was born on July 30, 2005.

The Celtics are going to win this series in five games

The Celtics are gonna win this series in five.

The Celtics lost this series — the 76ers won despite being heavy underdogs. Max's prediction was incorrect.

The NBA suspended Paul George just so he could take better steroids

Memes has a take that they suspended [Paul George] so he could take better steroids. If memes' theory is correct, they suspended him and they're like, 'Hey, you're taking the wrong stuff. Take some better juice.'

This is a satirical conspiracy theory that cannot be factually proven.

The 2026 MLB season will be the last season of baseball ever due to the impending lockout

This might be the last year of baseball of all time. Get ready to learn lockout baby. The Dodgers ruined baseball.

While a lockout is a real threat, the claim that baseball will cease to exist is satirical exaggeration.

Taysom Hill will sign with the Denver Broncos before the end of the week.

When he did his goodbye to the Saints, immediately he was like, yeah, I know, I know one coach that's probably gonna give him a call. Sean Payton is absolutely in love with Taysom Hill, so yeah. I'm sure he'll be a Bronco before the week's over.

Pending the rest of the week's NFL free agency news.

Kendrick Perkins is a 'really sharp guy' with incredibly well-reasoned NBA takes, as evidenced by ranking the Wizards top five in the East.

Kendrick Perkins. Big Perk back on TV doing his analyst thing. He's a really sharp guy. Very sharp guy... The one thing that you might say about Perk is he might have, you know, some bias where he will openly root for the Celtics. Sometimes he's like, shows him a little too much favor. So he dropped his top five list in the east... Number one in the east, 76ers... Number two in the east, the Knicks. Number three in the east, the Hawks. Number four in the east, the Heat. Number five in the east, your Washington Wizards.

PFT's belief about Perkins is subjective.
