Miami is the team most likely to take down Ohio State in the national championship

[Big Cat: Who in that next groupings would you say you're highest on? And to be like, that's the team that will maybe take down Ohio State?] Miami. Most. You know, Miami, they get the terrible back game... I expect that to happen... It's very rare that we have any of these teams that are gonna go clean throughout the entire season.

Miami did beat Ohio State 24-14 in the CFP quarterfinal, validating Russillo's claim. But Miami lost the championship to Indiana 27-21.

George Springer is the most clutch postseason hitter of the last 15 years

George Springer does it again. Maybe the most clutch postseason hitter of the last, what, 15 years? Third all-time in postseason home runs now, which is pretty crazy.

George Springer currently trails only Manny Ramirez and Jose Altuve in postseason home runs, making the claim statistically grounded.

The Blue Jays have no shot at beating the Dodgers in the World Series

I think [the Blue Jays] got no shot... I just don't think they have the—the Dodgers are too good. They don't have the pitching. [Kevin] Gausman would be [the Dodgers'] fifth starter.

The Blue Jays did have a shot and nearly beat the Dodgers in the 2025 World Series, pushing it to 7 games before losing 5-4 in 11 innings of Game 7.

The Lions are officially 'back' after their decisive win over the Buccaneers

The Lions defense was, they were, they was getting after [Baker Mayfield]... Hutchinson was getting after him and hitting him. I feel like the Lions are officially back, back, back.

The Lions followed up their 2023 success with another deep run in 2024, confirming they were indeed 'back' as a powerhouse.

James Harden is still a prime candidate for a massive playoff collapse

Last night with Mitchell not playing well, all the points off of turnovers, which again, he was, he was guilty of. But look, I just have a super hard time with the way he's officiated. It gets so bad with him that I'm like, well I expect there's gonna be some kind of 30 point game. Yeah. I mean he's got the ball in his hands the entire time. But at the end when he needed the free throws, it's like he missed two of the last four. 'cause it—that tells me there's just something about him.

Harden's playoff legacy is a matter of intense debate, and a single game rarely changes the long-term narrative.

The Knicks should be dangerously confident given how the Eastern Conference is looking

They should be. Because if you go back to the regular season games and you know, you try to figure out, okay, what really matters... Detroit's physicality and their defense messes up New York in a way that feels very real. So if you're a Knicks fan and then watching last night going like, I hope Cleveland wins this based on what you saw in the regular season.

The Knicks' success in the playoffs will determine if this confidence was warranted.

Cade Cunningham could end up becoming the best point guard in the NBA

When we're done with this, let's not, not Cade if they don't get through this. 'Cause I think we're all realizing like, Cade could end up becoming the best point guard in the NBA.

This is a long-term career projection that will take years to evaluate.
