Takes

Fans don't belong on the court ever and players don't belong in the stands ever

my perspective is fans don't belong on the court ever. And players don't belong in the stands ever. That's, I don't think that's a controversial thing.

Someone will eventually get seriously injured during a court storming

It's dangerous, man. Yeah. and it is. It's dangerous now. And we've had significant injuries over the years... Something bad's gonna happen. And when it does, we're gonna have the audacity to be surprised at it.

Big Cat doesn't know what 'disingenuous' means

Ingenuous means lying.

I've never been a fan

I've never been a fan.

I'll come sprain Big Cat's knee and then he can tell me court storming is fine

Now he got hurt and it maybe the injury wasn't enough for you. So No, I'll come and I'll come and sprain your knee and then you claim that I'm fine.

Illinois and USF are teams trending toward a strong March run

I think Illinois is starting to trend in that direction... they're starting to look like they could do some real damage there. South Florida's another team that's trending a little bit like Florida Atlantic did last year.

NIL should have no rules and operate like normal business with multi-year contracts

There wouldn't be any rules. I would have it operate just like normal business does... the schools could just pay the athletes directly... they would sign the players to multi-year contracts... It's really not that difficult. And that way the transfer portal's not as big of an issue.

If court storming ended tomorrow, ratings and engagement would be exactly the same

I think if it ended tomorrow, we would see the same passion and the same ratings and the same level of engagement that we always see.

Would have tasered the dog that ran on a basketball court in Chile

I would've tasered the dog. And then euthanized the owner.

Would have 'clubbed that dog like a baby seal' to stop court storming

I would've clubbed that dog like a baby seal that all would've stopped.

Josh Schertz at Indiana State is a top 3 schematic coach in the country

Josh Schertz at Indiana State would be number one... It's like watching a European Pro team that's been together for a long time. It's just magnificent.

I don't need an agreement to disagree — why can't we just disagree?

I've never understood what that means. Why can't we just disagree? I don't need an agreement to disagree.

I knew what 'disingenuous' meant in high school

No, I think what it meant is not only did you not know what disingenuous means, I did. But you did. You had to look it up. No, and that's not, didn't I actually knew what that meant when I was in high school.

There should be a 'free fight' rule allowing players to defend themselves against court-storming fans

I think like if there should be a rule that if you're a player and a fan comes at you, you can just go hog wild on 'em. Free the free fight rule that I've had for a very long time. Let the players have a free fight.

Kyle Filipowski was not seriously injured during the Wake Forest court storming

I just, I think he's probably fine. I think it might've been a phantom roll of an ankle. Like, oh shit, we lost and I just shoved the guy possibly—ow my ankle hurts now my arm.

Rick Pitino is good for the sport of college basketball

You have to like Rick Pitino, he's good for college basketball. Show, I mean, win. Yes. I respect Rick when he's wearing the white suit. This guy doesn't understand that. We like Rick Pitino.

Villanova will make the NCAA Tournament

They're gonna be in. They started the day yesterday at first four out. They finished the day at first four out... If you [beat] Georgetown and then win two of the next three we're in.

Julian Edelman is the 4th greatest New England Patriot of all time

In the number four spot... Friend of the program. It's Jules, it's Gronk. Great guy. Jules. Gritty receiver, basically. Fought through seven concussions against the Seahawks. Made a miraculous catch against the Falcons. Super Bowl MVP against the Rams. Wow. Julian Edelman.

Flaco the Owl was likely murdered and didn't just die from a building collision

It says he didn't break any bones, but he sustained massive hemorrhaging inside his body. This seems like somebody else had a hand in it. We need to check the flight logs. Was Flaco on the list? This Owl probably had information that would've led to the arrest and subsequent conviction of Hillary Clinton.

The 'pregnant' stingray Charlotte isn't actually pregnant and is just fat

Charlotte, the pregnant Stingray has still not given birth, which makes me think this might be a publicity stunt... if a shark had relations with a female Stingray who is pregnant even though she hasn't seen a male stingray in eight years... we need a conclusion to this. Otherwise she's just fat.

It is significantly harder to score in college basketball than in the NBA

I think it's way harder scoring college than it is in the NBA... you have this no three-second in the key [rule in college]. So you got a big that's just sitting there. You also have like two or three people in college you can help off of.

The Boston Celtics are heavy favorites to win the 2024 NBA championship

I think yeah, they're my favorites... I don't wanna put bad juju on 'em, but Yeah, they're heavy favorites in my mind.

JJ Redick is playing a character on 'First Take' to lean into his Duke heel persona

I do think he is doing a little bit of a bit when he goes on first take, it's the heel in him. If you watch it under the idea that JJ is being like the Duke smart ass, I know more Ball than you, it's great TV.

Big Dom's suspension is the definitive reason why the Eagles' season fell apart

The report is essentially that Big Dom was a lot more than just a security guard. He was essentially Nick Sirianni's emotional support animal. And when he got suspended from the sideline, Nick Sirianni spiraled outta control was fighting with players. And Big Dom is the reason why their season fell apart. And I 100% believe it.

Big Dom is the most important person in the Philadelphia Eagles organization

Big Dom is the most important person in the Philadelphia Eagles organization. I think we can all agree on that. He's a leader of men. Big Dom is a leader of men.

MLB's transparent pants are a clever way for the league to stay relevant

This was smart by the MLB. 'Cause we're talking about him. Way to stay relevant baseball. Just make some shitty uniforms that have everyone's balls showing.

Matt Eberflus's new beard makes him look like a winning football coach

Matt Eberflus debuted a new beard. He looks totally different. That's good. He looks like a winning football coach now. Tell me that's not a fucking football coach. Now he's gonna win some games.

Ty Law is the fifth-best Patriot of the dynasty era

My number five Patriot of all time... Swaggiest Patriot maybe on this whole list. Ty Law. That's number five.

Every team in college basketball currently sucks on the road

I think I wanna kind of say everyone sucks, but that's not a good way to get people into the sport. Everyone sucks on the road. That's the thing... Home court will lie to you.

John Calipari is on the hot seat because the 'meme' has become the reality

At some point the meme becomes the reality. I don't think they're gonna fire him. He has a lifetime contract... but Kentucky fans are absolutely ready for a change though. Absolutely. If he fucks this up, he's completely lost the magic.

This Purdue team is legitimately better and more versatile than last year's squad

I think this Purdue team's better than last year. The guard play has first of all their guards are older. Braden Smith last year was like a game manager more and now he's actually a stud. And then Lance Jones, the kid they got in the transfer portal is fucking awesome. I do think that Purdue is going to make a final four.

The Mountain West has replaced the Atlantic 10 as the 'hipster' basketball league

The Mountain West has kind of become that... It is has become the league that's like if you don't know what game to watch, just throw on a random ass mountain West game. It's what the A-10 used to be.

My 2024 Final Four is Purdue, Houston, Arizona, and Tennessee

I think Purdue is gonna make the final four. I have to trust Houston. Gimme Arizona... and then I gotta ride with Tennessee. Tennessee, I'll take out Houston and put in Butler. No, I'll take Tennessee.

Dan Hurley is the only coach in college basketball I trust to win a title right now

Who do we trust that's gonna win a national championship this year? Dan Hurley. 'Cause I saw it last year. That's it. That's literally it. These other guys haven't proven they can win.

I will be able to dunk a basketball and hit twenty three-pointers within the next ten months

I'm going hard to dunk... summer, that's exactly my plan. I'm already over leveraged. What if I do both and hit 20 threes? I just have to basically change my entire lifestyle way of thinking and everything.

Adam Silver is the number one cuck commissioner in sports

Adam Silver though. He kind of, is he the number one cuck commissioner now? He doesn't do shit. I mean, Roger Goodell, he does get bullied, but he gets bullied by the owners.

The NBA All-Star game should be changed to a 'White vs. Black' format

What about the Rashard Mendenhall rules? What if we make the All-Star game white versus black. So who's the white starting five? Luca [Dončić], Jokic, Caruso, Kristaps [Porzingis] and Grayson Allen. I'd put that five up against [everyone else].

To fix the All-Star game, the losing team should pay the winning team $10,000 per point scored

Losing team has to pay winning team $10,000 per point. Because now you play defense. You play defense. And it doesn't matter if you're losing, you still try. Damian Lillard would've gotten $500,000 [from them].

Doc Rivers is an unlikable snake who stabbed Adrian Griffin in the back

Doc Rivers is really unlikable. He had the balls to, after taking someone's job and saying he was working for the Bucks as an analyst... You can't complain about a job that you stabbed somebody in the back for.

The day you stop liking tits is the day you die

Sydney Sweeney's boobs... Which I was getting shamed for like, come on guys. The day you stop liking tits, kill me. I think and I die. I'm a red-blooded American male.

Notre Dame will never get higher than a 5-seed in the 12-team CFP

If Notre Dame is the best team in the country, they get the number five seed. [Because] the four highest ranked conference champions will be seeds one through four.

Justin Fields is probably going to get traded by the Bears

Justin Fields did unfollow the Bears. I don't think it's, I think he's probably gonna get traded. So that's what's, like I said, I mean it could mean literally anything.

Florida and the Rangers are the favorites to win the Stanley Cup in the East

I'm gonna do Florida. I think that especially what they did last year... hard team to play against. And the Rangers coming out of the East. Goal tending has been... I think Shesterkin could be a little better, but it's one of those things when you get into playoffs.

Canada will not win a Stanley Cup anytime soon

Also Vancouver too, Vancouver what they've done this year, but I don't think Canada's gonna win a Stanley Cup anytime soon.

The Maple Leafs won't win a Cup because their fans are mean to them

I think it would strictly be because their fan base is too hard on them... They have one bad period or one bad game, they're sell the farm, get rid of everyone. I think their fans just need to be a little bit nicer than the players.

The Dunk Contest is unfixable because we have already seen every possible dunk

There's really no way to fix the Dunk Contest. I think they've jumped over the biggest human they can find... maybe it's just that we've seen every cool Dunk and there's only so many cool dunks that you can do.

Mac McClung should be ineligible for the NBA Dunk Contest because he is in the G-League

Mac McClung should be ineligible because he is not in the [NBA]... That is the NBA dunk contest, not the G League dunk contest. If you're going to do that, just bring people off the street.

A G-League player who wins the NBA Dunk Contest should receive a two-week NBA contract

If you win the Dunk contest and you're on a G League team, you should get like a two week contract.

LeBron James would choose a retirement tour over winning a fifth NBA title if he were being honest

If you had true serum with LeBron right now... I think he might take the Retirement Tour [over a fifth title]. The fact that he's pretending that he like will be reluctant in any way on this Retirement Tour is the most ridiculous comment I've ever heard.

I am officially a Caitlin Clark superfan because she agitates people and creates constant debate

I think I'm gonna become a Caitlin Clark super fan because she makes people so, so angry. And I love it... I'm all for anyone who just agitates the world like she does... I'm in on Caitlin Clark all the way.
