Takes

LeBron James will opt out of his contract and finish his career in Cleveland

I'll say this PFT, LeBron, he's gonna opt out. He's gonna opt out. Could he, could he end his career in Cleveland? Could he fix everything? Well, no, he, he might opt out to take less money, but that would be fun if he did the opt out And we had like a day or two of being like, calves coming home one last time.

The Detroit Tigers will win the American League

I'll say this right now. I think the Detroit Tigers are gonna win The AL. I don't know if they can win the World Series. There's some good teams in the NL... in the last month, it's like [Javi Baez] recaptured something and, and, and come back to the world as, as what the electrifying Javi Baez was.

The Celtics can still win the NBA Championship even without Jayson Tatum

We have a bunch of champions on this team. We still have the Eastern Conference finals MVP, we have the finals MVP we ready to go... I still think we could win the championship, but that's where I'm at is, is just make it as far along in the season as we can because once the off season comes, a lot of things are gonna change.

The Mavericks will trade the #1 pick for Giannis Antetokounmpo

The Giannis thing is interesting because Giannis did say that he wants to play in a state with no income tax reportedly. And would that, I think the Bucks would absolutely do that trade... if you're the Bucks and you're like, 'Hey, we're not gonna win with Giannis, but we can get Cooper Flagg and reset everything.' And the Mavs would be an immediate [contender] with Giannis.

The Stanley Cup Final will be the Florida Panthers vs the Dallas Stars

I've said it from the beginning that it, it's gonna be Panther Stars. So I'm sticking with that... I'll still stick with Dallas coming out of the west and Florida coming out of the east and you know, just another, no, no Tax City Stanley Cup finals.

The Celtics will defeat the Knicks in six games

I feel good. I'm happy. I said I wouldn't be worried if they went down oh two. They came, they came out, they showed what they needed to do... I feel like that's gonna be, they're gonna win this series in six.

The Celtics probably aren't going to lose another game for the rest of the Playoffs.

Celtics probably aren't gonna lose the game the rest of the Playoffs.

I don't see the Warriors winning another game in this series without Steph Curry.

I don't see [the Warriors] winning another game without Steph. But it could happen if [Jimmy Butler] does the J But thing.

The Nuggets will win the series against the Thunder

I think it's correct score. You think so? I think it's two Two... 'cause I think it's, they, the way the Nuggets have won their two games has been very like we're a team that knows how to do this whereas the thunder cannot... championship DNA deserves two wins in this game.

The Knicks will beat the Celtics in six games.

Celtics probably aren't gonna lose a game the rest of the Playoffs... [but] Nixon six.

The Celtics will win the NBA Championship

Before the season I picked the Boston Celtics. With the Boston Celtics down two to one in this series, I still pick the Boston Celtics... they're the best complete team and they just won last year.

The Jets won't win their series against the Stars because Connor Hellebuyck is terrible on the road.

The Jets aren't gonna win this series 'cause Hellebuyck on the road stinks. He gave up five goals. He's just not good on the road.

The Warriors will not win their series against the Timberwolves without Steph Curry

The Warriors just couldn't, they didn't have enough offense. And, and the wolves, like even with Anthony Edwards... I'll just say it. The Warriors will not win this series without Steph.

Steph Curry will try to return to the playoffs sooner than he should

I think that Steph is actually gonna come back sooner that we think that he is. I wouldn't be shocked if he tried to play in their next game because he knows... this feels like the last dance type thing that we're trying to do right now. I think he's gonna try to come back maybe too soon.

The Dallas Stars are going to win the Stanley Cup

The Stars took the first game of the series on the road and it feels like the stars are gonna win the cup. I don't know, maybe that's the stupid thing to say, but it feels like they're really fucking good.

George Pickens will go insane if CeeDee Lamb dominates the targets

If CD Lamb starts getting the lion's share of the targets and Pickens isn't involved in the game plan, he is going to blow his head off. He is gonna go fucking insane even by George Pickens standards because he always wants the ball... even when he is getting the ball a decent amount, he still flips out.

Aaron Rodgers will sign with the Steelers on May 15th

They're waiting. Aaron Rogers is a quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers... he's just waiting for the schedule to come out. Then he will sign with the Steelers and make it official... I think we're gonna get Aaron Rogers on the Steelers on May 15th.

The Celtics will still win their series against the Knicks easily

I do think the Celtics are gonna win this series easily... 4-2 is pretty easy. When you're looking back on the history books, 4-2 is pretty easy. That's easily.

Nikola Jokic will retire as one of the two best centers to ever play the game

When he's done, you have to argue he's top one, two best centers ever. The only person who is gonna be standing tall over him is Kareem [Abdul-Jabbar].

Luka Doncic will be the MVP next year if he loses 30 pounds

If Luka can get down to about 230, 225, I I, I really believe he's gonna be MVP next year.

It might be Canada's year to win the Stanley Cup

I'm starting to think it might be the Leafs year. It might be Canada this year because we also had the Oilers win Tonight Game One against the Knights. And we have, so the Oilers are up one. Oh, the leaves are up one. Oh. And the Jets are still there.

Celtics in five

I'm not worried about the series at all. I'm not worried about the, the strategy or the team or anything. Like, there's only so much you can do when you miss [45 threes]. Celtics in five.

NBA Finals prediction: Celtics vs. Thunder

I'm sticking with the Boston Celtics, Bing bong hanky. I still support the Celtics and you know, I'm sticking with the with the thunder and I'm a little bit nervous today. I think Boston has a much easier path to the finals than OKC.

The Timberwolves will win their series against the Warriors

I have the Timberwolves winning this series simply because like the offensive depth is isn't isn't a good enough to outscore the Timberwolves, but I also don't think they'll be able to play Go bear off the court like that. Yeah. Okay. All right. So yeah, I guess my pick would then be the Timberwolves.

The NBA's scheduling makes Game 1 an automatic loss for teams coming off a Game 7

Why are the nuggets playing on Tuesday night... that's the most auto loss I've ever seen on a schedule ever... the nuggets in Game one and the Warriors in Game one, it feels like they're just going in to to die. Yeah. They just played a seven game series. Both a little bit older teams and they have 48 hours to turn around.

The Cavaliers will still win the series against the Pacers despite losing Game 1

I don't think the Cavs should panic... I think the Cavs are still gonna win the series.

Connor Hellebuyck will win the NHL MVP award this season

Arne [Knott] stuck to his, what what will probably be the MVP of the league. I think he might win MVP, forget the Vezina. He's got that locked up.

The Washington Capitals can physically beat up the Carolina Hurricanes in the second round

I think Washington can really kind of beat them up... I don't know if physically the, the Canes can play with Washington... Carolina fans are kind of all always all over biz... I don't even think if Carolina gets by Washington, like they can win the cup.

I am going to hire a dietician to help prevent future kidney stones

I think this one, I'll say this, I think I'm gonna start making some lifestyle changes. I'm thinking... I think I'm gonna to get a dietician. I understand. But I need someone to tell me what to do. I am not going to do that on my own volition. I need someone to basically be like, here's what you can and cannot eat.

The Celtics will sweep the Knicks

I think it's a sweep. I think you guys [Celtics] got 'em. Sweep, easy.

LeBron James will not retire silently; he will have a massive farewell tour

LeBron James is not going to retire outta the blue and just walk off the court and that'll be it. He is going to have the retirement tour. Yep. He's going to go across the country and there's gonna be like a documentary crew that follows him everywhere.

Jokic and Kawhi will both have massive games in Game 7 of the Nuggets-Clippers series

I think both those guys are gonna be incredible superstars. I really do. Because Jokic always gets his stats and Kawhi has had a good series, but I think this is one of those games where we're gonna look up and it's gonna be, Jokic is gonna have 34, 18 and 11 and Kawhi is gonna have 39 points on like 85% shooting. That's my prediction.

Fierceness is two to three lengths better than any other horse in the Kentucky Derby field

I think [Fierceness] is two to three lengths better than any other horse right now in the field... I think if he's ridden properly, I think [Fierceness] is, you know, clearly, clearly the horse to beat.

I would bet against the favorite Good Cheer in the Kentucky Oaks

In the Kentucky Oaks, the big favorite is Good Cheer. I think she's worth taking a shot against just because her numbers are not all that great. There's a horse in there named Quiet Side that I think would be worth the play, despite her number 14 post position.

Castle Chaos has a great chance to win the Knicks Go at a big price

In the fourth race in the Knicks Go, there's a horse called Castle Chaos... he's 20 to one in the program. I'm telling you, he's got a hell of a chance to win the Knicks Go at a... I'm expecting more like 10 to one, 12 to one. But still, I mean, I think Castle Chaos has a big shot.

The Celtics are the heavy favorites in the East, but the Cavaliers will make it a battle

Boston is definitely the heavy favorite. Until somebody beats Boston, they're the team to beat... but do not disrespect the Cleveland Cavaliers because they're ready to rock and roll. And if you think there's gonna be an easy sweep, no, no, no, no. Don't get it twisted. You're in for a real battle.

Bill Belichick is likely having a baby with his girlfriend Jordon

If I had to give one piece of advice to Jordon, have a baby. No, no. With Belichick, with Bill. Have a—let's get a baby in this thing. Consummate this love with a baby. A baby in the mix of this would be one of the greatest stories.

It is a foregone conclusion that Giannis Antetokounmpo will never wear a Bucks jersey again

The Bucks maybe if you're a Bucks fan, this is the last time you see Giannis in a Bucks jersey, which sucks... I feel like it's a foregone conclusion [he is gone].

The Cavaliers will beat the Pacers in six games

I'm gonna say Cavs in six Cavs are really good. I think the Cavs I respect the hell out of the Cavs.

The Cavaliers will sweep the Pacers

Yeah. I'm gonna say Cavs in four. Yeah. This Cavs team is fucking legit.

Joe Flacco will start Week 1 for the Cleveland Browns over Deshaun Watson and Dylan Gabriel

I think that [Joe] Flacco might start week one. And Flacco is an big underdog to do that too. I think he was like, plus seven 50 last I checked. Yeah. So I, I like the quarterback room.

The Browns' crowded QB room will result in Joe Flacco and Kenny Pickett competing for the start while Shedeur Sanders begins as the third-string emergency QB

I think they'll have Joe Flacco and Kenny Pickett in a QB competition for QB one. I think whoever loses that competition will get traded to a team that needs a QB... I think Dylan Gabriel will be the second quarterback and I think Shedeur [Sanders] will be the emergency third string.

The Lakers vs. Timberwolves series is going seven games because Adam Silver wants LeBron's numbers

I think that this is gonna go to the distance though... I think that this is an Adam Silver situation. Oh, interest LeBron game seven numbers. If it goes seven, that means that LeBron is still the face of the league.

The Pacers vs. Cavaliers series will be more competitive than most people expect

I'm excited for the Pacers-Cavs series. I think the Pacers-Cavs is gonna be a more competitive series than people think. So I, I put a lot of respect on the Pacers.

Xavier Restrepo will be the #3 receiver for the Titans and record 60 catches as an undrafted rookie

I watched a lot of Miami. I don't understand [how he didn't get drafted]... That guy makes a play every single time they throw it to him... Isaiah [Xavier] Restrepo is gonna be like the number three receiver and he'll have 60 catches and he'll be a great NFL player.

Lamar Jackson will win a Super Bowl and is effectively the 'Cooler Peyton Manning'

I'm not worried about it whatsoever. He's [Lamar Jackson] gonna win a Super Bowl... I'll just, I mean I, the comp I keep making is just Peyton Manning. He's cooler Peyton Manning. He's fucking electric in the regular season.

The Browns should take Shedeur Sanders in the second round to start their rebuilding process

In the second round, use one of these picks. Get Shedeur [Sanders]. Shedeur is gonna be extra pissed at the Steelers. They could still take Shedeur. They could take... That's what I'm going with here, Big Cat.

Kirk Cousins could be traded to the Browns for a one-year stint this week

I was surprised Kirk Cousins didn't get traded. I thought perhaps he could get traded to the Cleveland Browns and maybe that's in the cards now. Cleveland has some arsenal with this draft haul they got. Maybe they go get Cousins for one year, see if he can rejuvenate his career in Cleveland.

Hunter Renfrow will be back on an NFL roster this week

Hunter Renfrow was a favorite draft pick of mine. He's gonna be back. He watch this week. You're gonna see a transaction. I love it. He'll be back in football. He belongs in the league.

The Thunder will come back from 26 points down to beat the Grizzlies

Thunder are getting killed. 77 to 51. ... Just wait. I think the Thunder are gonna come back. You heard it here first.
