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.

Every team got an F because they didn't draft Diego Pavia. And he's gonna make 'em all pay. And he's now going to Ravens mini camp.

Diego Pavia went undrafted in the 2026 NFL draft (as projected in this future-dated transcript).

Cole Payton will be the next Taysom Hill

No, [Cole Payton] is Taysom Hill. Next Taysom Hill. I mean, we just, Taysom Hill, he's a football player. [Cole Payton] started a game at running back for North Dakota State in his career.

The player's success as a gadget/hybrid player is subjective and will take years to evaluate.

Or Bernard is a more explosive athlete than Myles Garrett

Or Bernard, yeah. He's a better athlete than Myles Garrett. It's fucking insane. Someone that I was reading an article about him and someone said that he's hands down the most explosive athlete I've ever seen in my life.

While 'better athlete' is subjective, it can be measured by Relative Athletic Score (RAS) and pro-day stats once available.

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.

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.

Colorado is the favorite to win the Stanley Cup and I'm not picking against them

Colorado. They're no surprise. They swept. They're nasty. They're the favorites for a good reason.

Pending — the 2026 Stanley Cup playoffs are ongoing at time of recording.
