Watching the first half of any March Madness game is a waste of time

What are you even doing if you're watching the first five minutes of a March Madness game? I don't think I've ever done that.

The inconsistency of NCAA tournament referees makes it impossible for players to adjust

The refs not only aren't consistent game to game, they're not consistent in game. If you watch the Wisconsin Xavier game, the first 10 minutes they let them play. They let them bang down low. Then the last 30 minutes, it was ticky-tack all the way through. They were calling every little contact. I just don't know how, as a player, you can handle that.

Referee consistency is a perennial debate in college basketball.

Wisconsin will probably beat Notre Dame and then lose in a tragic, heartbreaking fashion

They'll probably beat Notre Dame and then maybe... be up by 10 against UNC. And I'm like, oh, man, I cannot believe the Badgers are going back to the Final Four. And then there'll be tragedy and heartbreak. And people will be sending me mean tweets.

Wisconsin lost to Notre Dame 61-56 in the Sweet 16 on March 25, 2016. While they didn't beat ND as he thought 'probably' would happen, his prediction of 'tragedy and heartbreak' was accurate as they lost a close game late.

Psychiatrists should give out Adderall prescriptions specifically for the first two weekends of the NCAA tournament

I feel like there needs to be a psychiatrist that gives out prescriptions for Adderall specifically for these first two weekends of the NCAA tournament just to get us through Sunday. That's a genuine medical issue that I'm dealing with right now coming down from like a four-day hangover.

It's a comedic proposal for a lifestyle problem.

The Thunder will win Game 7 against the Spurs easily

I think that the thunder win and they win easily in game seven. And we're seeing that a lot. It's like extended series, but the the games themselves aren't particularly close.

Outcome of the May 30th Game 7 (fictional 2026 timeline) is pending relative to the episode date.

NHL playoff seeding is broken and leads to non-competitive conference finals

I agree with the people now that say that the seating in the playoffs and hockey screwed up. I hate it. You get non-competitive series the later you get in the playoffs, it should be the opposite... the fact that it's reached this point where we're getting non-competitive series in the conference finals on a pretty regular basis is very bad for the sport.

Seeding fairness and entertainment value are subjective critiques of sports league structures.

It is normal and expected for international soccer coaches to interview for new jobs right before the World Cup.

This is normal... this is how it happens in the World Cup. This happens like every time. Every coach interviews to take other jobs after the World Cup... those teams interview coaches as soon as they possibly can.

While controversial, it is a common industry practice for coaches to line up their next move before a major tournament ends.
