The NBA regular season is a joke because the top seeds are so heavily favored that there is no value in betting on them.

The first round, the first one through eight, it's just a complete... You can't even gamble on it because the one seed's like minus 900 to take the series, so it's a complete waste of money... The league blows.

While mathematically correct regarding the betting lines, the 'joke' part is subjective.

Conor McGregor's rampage at Barclays Center was a real incident, not a work

I cannot figure out, a lot of people are saying it might be a work. I think it's real. I think it's absolutely real.

The incident led to actual criminal charges and lawsuits, confirming it was not a scripted 'work' for the UFC.

Conor McGregor is intentionally trying to go to prison to escape a bounty from the Irish mob.

Do you think that Conor McGregor intentionally is trying to go to prison to get away from the Irish mob? Because there's allegedly a bounty on his head.

This was never proven and McGregor did not end up in prison long-term for the Barclays incident.

Conor McGregor is bigger than the UFC

Conor McGregor's bigger than the UFC. That's really what it comes down to. I think Dana White actually has a problem here because he can't pay Conor McGregor what Conor McGregor is worth at this point.

While subjective, McGregor's pay-per-view numbers historically dwarfs other events, supporting the claim of his individual leverage.

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.
