Braden Holtby's poor rebound control and lack of mobility will cost the Capitals the Cup

My biggest worry for a Caps fan is [Braden Holtby]... these rebounds, those are not – that will not win you the cup, those rebounds... his mobility isn't nearly what it used to be. So if you're going to come out and take away those angles, the rebounds can't go anywhere but the corner.

Holtby turned it around, including 'The Save' in Game 2, and the Capitals won the Stanley Cup.

Getting an honorary doctorate makes JJ Watt think he's an actual medical doctor

JJ Watt thinks that getting an honorary doctorate makes him an MD. He's actually a doctor now... He literally thinks that he can go and operate on someone. When he's next on a plane and someone has a stroke or a heart attack, 'Is there a doctor on this plane?' JJ's like, 'Yes, that's me.'

JJ Watt was awarded an honorary doctorate but it does not confer medical credentials.

Sam Hinkie is the 'smoking gun' who tipped off the Ringer about Bryan Colangelo's burner accounts

A Twitter egg tipped off the ringer, which people actually think this is now Sam Hinkie that tipped him off. I think it is... Sam Hinkie definitely has a smoking gun here, right?

While never definitively proven, investigative reports later suggested the tip came from a person using data analysis techniques, but Hinkie denied involvement. The burners themselves were eventually linked to Colangelo's wife.

A Sixers insider created the burner accounts to get Bryan Colangelo fired so LeBron James would sign

I think someone inside the Sixers organization created these accounts to get rid of Bryan Colangelo so that LeBron would come to the Sixers... I think someone in the Sixers organization did it so that they could fire him, and LeBron would be like, 'All right, that asshole's gone. I'm coming to the Sixers.'

Investigation found the accounts were linked to Colangelo's wife, though he ultimately resigned.

It is physically impossible to chug a beer out of the Buffalo Sabres sword

The mc of the event's, like, dude, these things you can't chug out of 'em. You have to drink it slow because you can't chug. They end up spilling. It's impossible to chug. I said, oh, all right. Well I wish you told me that beforehand mc guy.

While potentially difficult, 'impossible' is likely hyperbole to cover for a poor performance.

Connor McDavid has lost his superpower due to injury

McDavid's hurt. And it just sucks... It's like he lost his superpower. So he skates like no one I've ever seen before... And now he doesn't have that. He still has the straightaway speed, I've noticed... but the little cutbacks where he is beating D out of the corner... He doesn't have it.

The impact of the injury on his playstyle is visible to scouts and analysts.

The NBA product has never been worse

The product's never been worse. The NBA and I don't watch it. So you can say, how do you know the product? It's, it's terrible. And if you're not somebody, I've asked you guys... lead off your show with hockey when football season's not going. But no, you guys stick to basketball and it's horrible.

Evaluating a league's 'product' quality is entirely subjective.
