Takes

Giannis Antetokounmpo will never play for the Lakers

I'm not buying it. I'm putting my mark right now. Giannis is not going to be a Laker.

Adam Gase is the most paranoid person in the world and hiring him is a massive mistake

One other high-level evaluator with a different team said that this is the biggest mistake anyone in the NFL has made in years. Gase is crazy. He's the most paranoid person in the world. This will be like Todd Haley on crack.

Kyler Murray is actually much shorter than his listed height

I actually do think that he's short. I think he's shorter than I am... He's like 5'6", 5'7", 5'8"... I do think that Kyler Murray is running away from his true self. I think that he's like 5'8".

The Manning family will have a quarterback in the NFL until the day we die

We're all going to die here. We're going to die before Mannings are out of the NFL. Like there are going to be Mannings in the NFL till the day we die. They're just never, they're going to outlast us as human beings.

I can throw a football 100 yards in Mexico City

I got it like 80-83 in Denver and then you just have to times it by two because it's like two miles above altitude... yeah, probably 100.

I will throw enough touchdowns to win the Super Bowl in 2019

Enough to win the Super Bowl... As many touchdowns as I can throw that helps us find a way to win the Super Bowl, that'd be awesome.

I expect Patrick Mahomes to throw 48 touchdowns in the 2019 season

I'll give a number. I'll say 48.

I could beat Kevin Durant one-on-one right now because of his injury

Right now, I could probably beat him [Kevin Durant] one-on-one. I could absolutely beat Kevin Durant one-on-one right now.

If Jon Snow told Grey Worm he killed Daenerys, Grey Worm would have killed him instantly

If Jon Snow told Grey Worm that he killed Daenerys, Grey Worm would have killed him. In a second. They didn't show any of that.

Seth Curry is a better pure shooter than Steph Curry

The narrative I'm going to get going is Seth Curry is the better pure shooter than Steph Curry... The better pure guy. Steph has to create his own shot. Seth is much better off the pick... Seth is better away from the ball.

The Warriors are Draymond Green's team

The Warriors are a lot of fun to watch right now and I'm gonna say it it's Draymond's team... He had 16, 10, and 7 was everywhere. He is the heartbeat of the Warriors. He unlocks Steph Curry to score 37 points.

The Warriors vs. Blazers Western Conference Finals series is already over

This series is O-V-E-R. Over. Sorry, Blazers.

The Raptors 'wasted' a rare 30-point performance from Kyle Lowry by losing Game 1 to the Bucks

Kyle Lowry had 30 points. He was unconscious. And you wasted your Kyle Lowry game. You don't get a lot of those. Giannis didn't play well. The Bucks didn't play well for the first three quarters... And you still somehow lose by eight points.

Nick Nurse will have a long coaching career because he makes memorable 'goofy faces' on the sideline

The winner of the playoffs, I'm saying it right now... the finals MVP, Nick Nurse's goofy faces. That guy makes faces... if you do faces, you'll stick around longer. You have to have something that people are like, oh, Nick Nurse, the face guy? ... You have to have a look.

I do not count my 2017 NBA Championship as earned

To be honest with you, I really don't count that championship... I got hurt going into the playoffs... and I'm always someone that like, I've never been given anything. So to me, I always wanted to earn it. And I felt like because I wasn't out there, you know, on the court with my guys sweating and fighting that it was kind of really just it was given to me.

My best NBA games were played while high

My best games in the NBA were high... After [shootaround] I would go home, I'd smoke a joint, then I would take a nap. And then I'd wake up, shower, eat, and bounce... It was probably within four or five hours of the game possibly.

Kevin Durant will leave the Warriors because it's always 'Steph Curry's team'

I just think if there was anything that kind of maybe – maybe not – I wouldn't even say bother him, but just kind of I want to do it on my own type situation... they win three in a row. They win four. They win five. This is Steph Curry's team, and, you know, they were fortunate enough to get KD.

Baron Davis would be one of the all-time greats if he had stayed healthy

Best all-around point guard I ever played with, Baron Davis. When he's healthy, no question. If Baron Davis would have had a healthy career, he'd be talked about as one of the greats. There's no question about that.

Kevin Durant is the best player in the world

Kevin Durant to me is the best player in the world right now and will probably go down as one of the most efficient, effective offensive players we've ever seen.

The Bulls should re-sign Jimmy Butler so they can return to being 'mediocrely shitty'

I kind of want the Bulls to re-sign Jimmy Butler so they can just be mediocrely shitty again. It'd be kind of funny. Get out of the lottery for the next 10 years... Just go back in time. To move to exactly where you were, which is second round losing in a five-game series.

Bran Stark will become the King of Westeros

Bran comes down from Winterfell, stands up out of his wheelchair, and raises his arms and shows he's the true Night King... but I think it's Bran. But it's Bran just because all the betting sites are like Bran.

Jon Snow will kill Daenerys Targaryen and the dragon

I've said that Jon Snow's going to kill Dany... I think Jon Snow's going to kill Dany and kill the dragon. Because he's going to be like, we can't have dragons in this world. Look what they did to King's Landing.

Arya Stark will die in the Game of Thrones series finale

I think Arya's going to die too. Yeah. There's my prediction. Yeah, she seems like she's a likable enough character. She's got a little bit of that spunk in her where she can get herself into some trouble.

Colin Cowherd is a 'loser' for trolling Odell Beckham Jr. while secretly rooting for him in private texts

That's a funny way to root for somebody. To just trash them? ... So he turned it into a game show of how many things he can name about Odell Beckham that don't include him rooting for him... Colin Cowherd, I just used your words against you, you loser.

Tanking is officially dead in the NBA

The NBA draft lottery... Tanking is over. Turns out Nate Silver is full of shit. Pelicans had the ninth best odds, they get the number one pick. Grizzlies had the eighth best odds, they get the two pick. The Knicks had the first best odds, they get the three pick. And the Lakers had the 11th best odds, they get the four pick. Tanking is over.

Nobody wants to find out what New York sports fans are like when the Knicks are actually good

I don't know what New Yorkers are like when the Knicks are really, really good. And I don't think that anybody wants to find out.

Kevin Durant is 100% going to the New York Knicks

PFT, they are going to find out because Kevin Durant, according to sources, is 100% going to the New York Knicks. My source is someone who DMed Colin Cowherd.

The Memphis Grizzlies should move to Seattle and bring back the Sonics

No offense to Memphis. I'm sure we have millions of Memphis listeners, but that is like basketball hell. Like, where is that? There's grit. They need to move it to Seattle, and then I'd be excited for [Ja] Morant in Seattle. That would be great. Bring back our Sonics.

The Bulls are stuck in basketball hell getting the seventh pick three years in a row

The Bulls get the seventh pick... it fucking sucks. And I'm just sick of it... I don't know how you get the seventh pick three years in a row. It just sucks because the Bulls are just stuck forever, and it's just going to be the same shit over and over and over again.

Roger Goodell will implement an NFL draft lottery by the time Trevor Lawrence is eligible

I was watching the draft lottery, and all I kept thinking about was Roger Goodell is going to make sure that the NFL has some sort of lottery in place by the time Trevor Lawrence becomes eligible because he saw this was an event.

The Warriors-Trail Blazers series will go five games

The Warriors are currently, there's two minutes left in the game, and they're going to beat the Trailblazers by like 15... So this series is going to go five, like I said.

Boston accents... they just did a study, and the Boston accent was named the number two sexiest accent in America. [Number one was] Texas.

NCAA Football is the greatest video game of all time

NCAA video game is back. Well, maybe back. NCAA formed a committee to bring back the NCAA football game. And this is the greatest news I think that has ever happened in my life. Because that game is the best game ever.

NCAA Football is the best video game ever and much better than Madden

Best game ever. It really is. It really is. Better than Madden. I enjoyed playing NCAA football more than Madden.

Madden has become too realistic and is no longer fun to play

Madden got too hard. Madden got too hard in the last few years and it just didn't get fun. Everything was too realistic. Ever since the passing cone, really.

I have half the field beat mentally in majors because most golfers can't handle a tough course

It's easier when it's tough. You already know you got half the guys beat mentally, they can't play the course. And then the other ones just mentally can't hang. And so you only got to beat a few.

I don't watch golf when I'm away from the course

I'll be honest, I don't watch it. I don't watch it when I'm away from it... If I was going to watch anything, I'd watch Augusta and all the majors. But other than that, I'd much rather be watching basketball late night.

I guarantee I will win the career Grand Slam

At what point in your career do you think you'll have all four majors? Guarantee it. I'm trying to figure out when the next time we play St. Andrews because I will win one at St. Andrews. I know that.

Golf courses should be shortened to 14 or 15 holes to be more fun

How do you speed up the game? Literally, I would just make it like 15 holes, 14 holes... Because then you get to go in the 19th hole a little bit quicker... It gets boring from like hole 5 to 12. You're just like, where am I right now?

Golfers wear metal spikes just to hear the clicking sound on concrete

I don't wear the spikes... soft spikes. [Some] guys wear the metal ones. I have no idea why. I think it's just to hear the click clack when they're walking over concrete... to make them feel like athletes.

Hannah B. is a bad Bachelorette because she cried too much in the first episode

I'm not a Hannah B fan whatsoever, so I would grade it like a C. The season's going to be tough. If you're the Bachelorette and you cry over the first guy, it's like you're the Bachelorette, you have 30 guys. One guy fucks you over, you're supposed to kick him to the curb and move on.

Marvin Harrison probably killed a guy

Where's Marvin Harrison? People forget. Probably killed a guy. Probably killed a guy. That's one of those ones you're just like... Hey, remember when Marvin Harrison probably killed a guy?

Nursing school graduation is a second-tier event that doesn't require a video recording

Should I be mad at my boyfriend for not videoing me walk across the stage at my nursing school graduation? No. Nursing school, that means it's probably your second graduation, right? So you probably already had a degree. Maybe if you were a doctor [it would matter].

Kawhi Leonard is a killer

Kawhi Leonard is a motherfuckin' killer. He is. He's a killer.

Brett Brown is not the right coach for the 76ers

I don't think Brett Brown is the guy because, like I said, three shot clock violations. I think one of them might have been a block on Jimmy Butler... He did a good job with a young team bringing him along. But when you lose like they did last year and then lose this year, I feel like you have to change at least something.

The mid-range jump shot still has a place in the modern NBA

Turns out Manalytics going one-on-one with a guy and hitting a step-back 14-footer still has a place in this game... The nerds, though, have been put on their heels a little bit. They're updating their stat sheets, their spreadsheets, saying, well, actually, that was actually a great shot.

Damian Lillard has a 'winner's face'

He's got a winner's chin. Have you ever seen that thing? If I'm doing the old school facial recognition, like this guy's a winner, this guy's not, Damian Lillard, he's got a winner's face.

The Warriors will beat the Trail Blazers in five games

I'm going to say the Warriors in five. Warriors in five. I'm going to get the Blazers, too. We're a big Portland podcast. We love the city.

The 'Melo Curse' is a real phenomenon where teams fail after trading Carmelo Anthony

If USA Basketball doesn't win the next gold, I'm officially saying Melo is the best cursor of all time... Syracuse hasn't won a championship since Melo got traded. Boom. Done. Whenever he leaves your team, you don't do anything.

I prefer watching women's soccer over men's soccer because the U.S. actually wins.

I actually like watching women's soccer better than men's soccer because we actually win in women's soccer.
