Being excited to open the mail is a sign that you are getting old.

My first pick was going to be opening mail, but I think I should change it to excited to open mail. Because I had a stack of stuff... and I was like, 'Look at me opening this shit.'

This is a subjective sign of aging.

The NBA Finals were officially over the moment Nikola Jokic picked up his fifth foul and the Heat still couldn't take the lead.

Friday night we had a little Scott Foster. Jokic gets his fifth foul on a phantom foul... They take Jokic out in the fourth quarter with the Nuggets up 10 with nine minutes left. He doesn't come back in for another five and a half minutes. And the Nuggets were up nine when he came back in. So that was it. That was the moment that the series was officially over.

The Nuggets went on to win the series in five games, confirming Big Cat's assessment that the Heat had no path back.

The Denver Nuggets winning the 2023 NBA Finals is the start of a dynasty

This is the start of the dynasty. This is, this is merely, but the first chapter that we're writing with Nuggets. If, you don't get three titles then. It's a failure.

The Nuggets won the 2023 title but failed to repeat — eliminated in the second round in 2024, with Boston and OKC winning the next two championships. One title does not make a dynasty.

Heat culture is dead; it has been replaced by Nuggets culture.

It's almost like the Nuggets have out-Heat-cultured Heat culture in this series to a certain extent by having those role players. It's this Nuggets culture that's winning this. ... This is Heat culture's dead. Nuggets culture. Viva la Nuggets culture.

This is a subjective assessment of team identity and momentum.

Lincoln Riley still has no signature win at USC

If you go through the Lincoln Riley résumé, this is a really long time since starting in '22 to not have that signature win. Give us one. Beat Oregon once and be like, 'Hey, look.'

This is an assertion about USC’s results under Lincoln Riley that can be checked against the record as of the episode date.

The SEC will regain its national-championship dominance

It was still hard for me to believe that they're just not gonna win national championships now because of NIL. That's the kind of parity. I think the SEC is gonna turn this thing back around where they're gonna start rolling through people again.

The SEC’s future national-title results remain unresolved.

BYU is ranked far too highly to be trusted

I was arguing Texas Tech being overlooked because at least they have some P4 wins in there. They looked like shit against Colorado. BYU is eighth in both polls. I'm not putting them in there.

Whether BYU deserves its ranking and can contend is evaluable over the 2026 season, which is not complete.
