I'm officially a 'Crown' (NIT) guy and will be watching it all week

I'm actually jacked up for the Crown... I'm a Crown guy. I'm excited for the Crown.

Andy Reid will become the all-time winningest NFL coach if he stays for five or six more years

If he coaches for five to six more years and the Chiefs go between 11 and 13 wins, he will be the all time leading NFL coach in wins. Right now he's fourth.

The math is accurate; the prediction relies on Reid's longevity and continued success.

Three championships in five years officially makes the Chiefs a dynasty

I think you can even zoom out and just say about the Chiefs if they win this game of Dynasty. Yeah. Because that's a rule, right? Dynasty talk. Three championships in five years. That's Dynasty. This is crowning them being the new dynasty.

The Chiefs did win the Super Bowl, achieving three rings in five seasons.

Super Bowl LVIII is the worst possible matchup for Las Vegas Raiders fans

This is the worst possible matchup for Las Vegas Raiders fans because they have the Niners who they used to share a city with kind of... and they have an AFC West rival. It would be like if they did the Super Bowl in Philadelphia and it was Cowboys-Patriots.

Subjective fan misery, but logically sound given the rivalries involved.

Big Cat will pay for a Twitter Blue checkmark within two weeks

I put the over under on Big Cat getting a blue check. Two weeks.

Big Cat remained unverified for several months as a bit before eventually getting a checkmark (which Elon Musk later gifted to many high-follower accounts for free anyway). He did not pay within two weeks.

Vin Scully is the best play-by-play broadcaster of all time

Yeah, no, definitely. He is the best play-by-play broadcaster of all time. He has moments that you could put in a dictionary. Like you could fill a dictionary with just thousands of pages... If I could have 1% of the success that he had, that would be a successful career. He is the best ever.

Coming on Pardon My Take is the easiest way to add to your legacy

I would agree if you come on Pardon My Take you've added to your legacy. Boom. Just like that legacy complete.

Subjective claim about the impact of a podcast appearance on a professional legacy.

Giannis staying in Milwaukee is a major victory for NBA parity

I think this is actually great for the league. It's a win for the league because you have a little bit more parity. You have the small market teams like teams drafting a superstar and be able to hold on to them is important for the league.

Subjective opinion on league health.

The Stone Cold Steve Austin interview is on the Mount Rushmore of PMT interviews

Mount Rushmore. And I'm not even a huge wrestling fan. That was before my time, and I was still loving it.

This is a subjective internal ranking of show quality.

The Monday after the Super Bowl should be a federal holiday

We all are in agreement, obviously, that the Monday after the Super Bowl should be a federal holiday. Correct. Move President's Day. Abraham Lincoln's dead. He won't care. I promise. He probably would have been a big football fan.

This is a subjective opinion on public policy/calendar management.

Victor Oladipo will win the NBA Slam Dunk Contest

I'm going with [Victor] Oladipo. I have no reason why I'm doing it. I like saying his name.

Donovan Mitchell won the 2018 Slam Dunk Contest; Oladipo did not.

Someone is going to be hungover during the NBA All-Star game

My prediction is someone's going to be hungover in that game. Yeah, every single person.

Given the nature of All-Star weekend in Los Angeles, this is effectively a certainty.

The Fourth of July is the drunkest weekend of the year

Fourth of July weekend is maybe the drunkest weekend of the year. Everyone's out. Everyone's summer. It really is like who can drink the most beers all weekend long.

While difficult to prove definitively, Fourth of July is consistently ranked among the top drinking holidays in the US.

Matthew Dellavedova signing with the Milwaukee Bucks is the perfect landing spot for his blue-collar style

The Bucks actually have a blue collar stitched on the inside of their jerseys... to show the embodiment of Milwaukee's working class roots. So this is like a perfect, perfect landing spot for [Dellavedova].

Dellavedova did sign with the Bucks in 2016 and fit the gritty role they expected, though his tenure wasn't legendary.
