Max Homa is in my top three favorites and can absolutely win the PGA Championship

I think Max [Homa] can absolutely win here. I think it's a good golf course for him. And I feel like he's been playing better and better golf than we saw early in the season. So absolutely. I think, I think Max not only can win, but I think he's in probably my top three favorites right now.

Max Homa finished T35 at the 2024 PGA Championship, while Xander Schauffele won.

Nikola Jokic is the best basketball player in the world, and that's a fact

I am so happy that I'm alive, that I am blessed to be able to do a sports podcast while Nikola Jokic is playing basketball because holy shit, he is the best. ... remind everyone that yes, I am the best player in the world. And that's a fact.

Jokic had just won his 3rd MVP in 4 years and was widely regarded as the consensus best player following the Nuggets 2023 championship.

It is better to guard Nikola Jokic with average defenders than one elite defender like Rudy Gobert

I think it's almost better to guard Jokic with like one and a half slash two average defenders than it is to guard him with one good defender [like Rudy Gobert].

The Nuggets eventually defeated the Timberwolves in 2023 and the Wolves' strategy of single-covering Jokic with Gobert was heavily debated throughout this series.

The Timberwolves look like they are still exhausted from the Tom Thibodeau era and have officially hit a wall

The Timberwolves actually, they look better at times defensively with [Rudy] Gobert on the bench... I think maybe we need to have the conversation about the Timberwolves. They look like they're still exhausted from when [Thibodeau] coached 'em back in 2018. They hit the wall after game two. I feel like this is it. Classic [Thibodeau] just ran its guys too hard and now they can't win another playoff game.

The Timberwolves were not actually dead; they won Game 6 in a massive blowout and forced a Game 7, which they also won to reach the Western Conference Finals.

Scotty Scheffler is more likely to win the PGA by 10 than finish outside the top 10

I think there's a better chance Scotty [Scheffler] wins by 10 than he doesn't finish in the top 10. I think this is a great opportunity for Scotty to kind of go back to back at the PGA.

The tournament concludes on May 17, 2026.

Brooks Koepka is in a prime position to contend for a win at the PGA Championship

I think [Brooks Koepka] is gonna be in contention here. I think it's a great Brooks Koepka golf course. He's leading the PGA tour this season in Iron Play. ... I think Brooks is positioning himself to get really a chance to win either this PGA or or win it at Shinnecock.

The outcome of the 2026 PGA Championship will determine if Brooks was in contention.

I think Blockie makes the cut. I really do. ... I think Blockie's gonna make the cut this week. I don't know if he wins the PGA, ... but I think [he'll] get to the weekend.
