AI-powered robots will kill us all in less than a year

If you guys watch the episode metalhead [from Black Mirror], that's actually happening in real life... They gave Boston Dynamics robots brains and now they can do whatever they want. Think for themselves. I still think we got less than a year left. Yeah, we're done. We're cooked.

Five straight days of playoff football in January is the best schedule ever

College football playoff announced today 2024 and 2025... Semi-finals would be played on Thursday and Friday of super wild card weekend... Saturday, Sunday, Monday. Five straight days of playoff football.

To survive in the NHL when you aren't a superstar, you must focus on being an elite teammate

I knew for me, sticking around, obviously when you're not the best player in the world, you gotta have some other intangibles. And I knew for me as being a good teammate, being a guy that people can trust, you know, just being there for guys no matter what.

The Florida Panthers' upset over the Bruins wasn't as shocking as people think

I don't think it was a choke as much as people are saying... You look at Florida's team, they're loaded, they got superstar players... They had been playing playoff hockey for the last month trying to get into the playoffs.

The Florida Panthers will beat the Toronto Maple Leafs in their playoff series

I would love to see Toronto move on, but just not against my Cats. I think Florida's gonna beat them in that series.

Connor McDavid is so fast he doesn't even get tired on the ice

I honestly don't think he even gets tired... He's just so fast... And the dual threat of being one of the best passers in the league and now having the ability to score kind of whenever you want, is just taking his game through the roof.

A team of 20 Connor McDavids would easily win the Stanley Cup

If there were let's say 20 Connor McDavids on a team... Do they win a Stanley Cup? Yeah. Not even close. [Ooh, now Whit disagrees with you] 20 of them.

The Dallas Stars and Florida Panthers will meet in the Stanley Cup Finals

In the beginning before playoffs, I had Dallas and Boston in the finals... Now I want to go Dallas, Florida in the finals.

Jake Oettinger is the best goalie in the NHL

I think Dallas now... I think Dallas has the best goalie with Jake Oettinger. He's a stud young kid. He, he was unbelievable in the playoffs last year.

NHL starting goalies are the weirdest people on the planet

Starting goalie is just outta control. Like, you don't talk to 'em, don't go near 'em on game day... I think it's from a young age on where you're in the crease, you got no one to talk to.

Once you break up, you no longer have the right to feel disrespected by your ex's dating life

You don't get to make those rules. You're broken up. You're broken up. You're broken up. If it was before then yeah, you could be upset. But if you're broken up, you're broken up.

The 2022-23 Boston Bruins are the biggest chokers in the history of the NHL

How do you feel about your Boston Bruins being the biggest chokers in the history of the NHL? After being the President's Cup trophy winner, they had the most wins in NHL history this year... You lost in the first round to Jake [Marsh]'s Florida Panthers.

The Bruins' historic season was an abject failure

I don't know how he [Giannis] could say that that was a complete abject failure. It just hurt a lot... most points of all time, most wins of all time... it's a complete failure.

Game 7 playoff hockey is the cruelest thing in all of sports.

Game seven playoff hockey, there's nothing like it in sports. Game seven playoff hockey overtime. It is the cruelest thing in all sports... you sit there and be like, how is it over? Like, keep this game going. This is not fair.

The Bruins' collapse sets a bad tone for the Celtics' playoff run and puts unnecessary pressure on the city.

This is bad for the Celtics. This is like, as a city as a whole. You're both, you know, top seeds... the fact that the Bruins lost it almost kind of like sets the tone of like, anything can happen and that's not where you wanna be.

The 18-1 Patriots Super Bowl loss is worse than the Bruins' first-round collapse

It's definitely the Super Bowl. What are you thinking right now? No, it's obviously the Super Bowl... I'm not trying to make Hank feel better. This is not on the same level as a Milwaukee Bucks. This is not on the same level as a one seed losing at 16. This happens every few years [in hockey].

Steph Curry is a top 10 player of all-time

I mean, people are saying top 10 all time now. I, I wouldn't disagree with that... and I know I might be in the minority here because I think there's a lot of warriors fatigue... I still love watching the Warriors play basketball and I still love watching Steph Curry.

If Steph Curry wins another ring without Kevin Durant, Durant's legacy becomes a barnacle on Steph's career.

If the Warriors won the title this year, that would be objectively funny that Steph would've five and KD would've two and Steph would've more without KD than with him. And it's like [Durant] is like almost a little barnacle on Steph the Titanic that is Steph and his career.

If Steph Curry beats LeBron James in the second round, he moves to #2 all-time

I'm personally putting LeBron's legacy on the line in this matchup against Steph Curry. So if Steph beats him, Steph goes up to number two all time as far as I'm concerned.

Dillon Brooks' career might be over mentally after this disastrous playoff performance.

No one had a worse playoff performance start to finish than Dillon Brooks. He is a complete joke... I actually think he'll have a career, but I wouldn't be shocked if his career is just over because of this. Like mentally, I know that's crazy to say, but he could not have had a worse playoffs.

The Denver Nuggets will beat the Phoenix Suns in six games

I stand my prediction, which is Nugs and six, I think it's gonna be Nugs and six. And if their big three is cooking, then we're then we're in business.

Darnell Washington is going to be a star and NFL teams were morons for not taking him higher.

I think I've got my guy that I'm gonna be calling the next baby Gronk. And it is another Georgia guy. It's Darnell Washington. I think that dude, he got drafted by the Steelers I think in three years we're gonna be like, wow. We were all huge morons for not taking that guy higher.

NFL teams should draft a quarterback with every single pick until they find a franchise guy.

I would probably do that. I would probably take a quarterback with every pick. Yeah. Until I found one that worked. Yeah. Every year just get a, get a new quarterback because if you have a decent quarterback in the NFL, you're gonna be good. And then you can fill, you can fill in the rest of the holes later.

The Sixers will win Game 1 against the Celtics and Tobias Harris will score 30 points.

Sixers are gonna win. I think Tobias Harris goes off for 30 tomorrow [tonight].

The NFL season opener will be either Eagles vs. Jets or Chiefs vs. Cowboys.

I think I'm gonna put my pin in this one. I think it's gonna be the Eagles and the Jets to start the season. Either that or Chiefs Cowboys.

Every MLB team should be required to play a series in Mexico City

Every team should have to play like a series in Mexico City because it was awesome... The Giants and Padres played in Mexico City, which is 2000 feet higher than Denver. And on Saturday it was like a softball game. There were 11 home runs.

Will Levis is untrustworthy because he puts mayonnaise in his coffee.

Where I go from that means that you're an individual and you put mayonnaise in your coffee. You just, you can't be a trustworthy individual. And I hope the Titans don't take [him].

Nebraska will be playing for Big 10 championships within 3 to 5 years under Matt Rule

I do believe three to five years from now, Nebraska's playing for Big 10 championships. Matt Rule is the answer here.

Notre Dame is the most fraudulent school and Ohio State is way past its prime.

Notre Dame's probably the most fraudulent school... who do they play every year besides USC? ... Ohio State's not that good anymore, dude. They're way past their prime.

Michigan is the most fraudulent team in college football

I think there's an argument that Michigan is the most fraudulent team in college football... because they didn't win that [TCU] game... we're on the climb, Willie and I are on the climb.

Michigan will win the National Championship next year.

I think Michigan wins it next year. They've done great with the transfer portal. Our running back stayed, JJ McCarthy is back... he's gonna win the whole thing next year.

BPC-157 should be allowed in the NFL for injury recovery.

BPC-157... is now illegal in the NFL. But dude, I mean... I got fired up when I saw it was illegal. I was fired up. I was like, oh hell yeah... I think it should be something that's allowed. Yeah. It's like that was the equivalent... It fixes injuries right away.

BPC-157 is a wonder drug for injury recovery with no downsides

BPC-157 is a wonder drug... inflammation, look, pain relief... no downside. It really is one of the best things you can do... I had an ankle sprain, I would literally put it right in my ankle and three days later it was fine.

Draft Day would be one of the worst movies ever if it didn't have real NFL logos

Draft Day would be maybe one of the worst movies of all time if it didn't have the rights to the exact NFL logos and team names. If they had to make up like a fake NFL league, that movie would suck. Turns out that it rocks because it's like, oh, I recognize the Browns logo.

Will Levis cannot be considered a bust because he was not selected in the top 10 of the NFL Draft.

I actually think it's in a weird way, you can't be a bust if you go, if you don't go in the top 10. So now people won't judge [Will Levis] the same. Now he has time to flourish to be a multi-Super Bowl winner.

The Arizona Cardinals and the Houston Texans won the first round of the 2023 NFL Draft.

The Cardinals and the Texans might have just won the first round draft. I'm gonna give the Texans an A plus because they picked second and third and they got good players.

Anthony Richardson will be a content machine because every play he makes is either an incredible highlight or a disastrous lowlight.

Everything that [Richardson] does is gonna be a highlight or a low light. There's gonna be a clip of everything Anthony Richardson does. When he plays well, it's like, holy shit, he's the only person in the league that can do that. When he plays poorly, he looks like a drunk Jameis [Winston]. So he's gonna be just a content machine.

Drafting a quarterback in the first round gives a fan base a one-year pass to ignore all negatives

Drafting a quarterback in the first round really does give you a new pep in your step lease on life where you're like, we have at least a year to just only look at the positive and ignore all the negatives. Even if he sucks for half of those games, you could still be like, well, you saw how good he was in that one game.

I'm officially out on all Big 12 defensive players

Tyree Wilson to the Raiders, I just, I'm bust all Big 12 defensive players. If you're a defensive player [from the Big 12], I would not touch you in the first round.

NFL Draft grades and predictions are meaningless; the only thing that matters is getting a player with fun highlights.

I'm a big believer of draft day means nothing. And it's fun to get excited and watch highlights—draft day's about watching highlights. That's the only thing that matters is getting a guy who has fun highlights that you can go to bed tonight watching them and get you excited for the future. But it means nothing.

Drafting Jalen Carter was a genius move for the Eagles, but he would not have worked for the Bears because they lack veteran defensive leadership.

I actually think that it was genius for the Eagles to take [Jalen Carter]. And the Bears did not take him because everything we've heard about him, he needs veteran leadership around him. The Bears do not have that. The Eagles have the opposite. They have a lot of great defensive players, a lot of older Fletcher Cox, like a lot of guys that will help him.

Will McDonald IV's lack of size is irrelevant because his vertical leap allows him to jump over an entire offensive line.

[Will McDonald IV] can jump high so it doesn't matter [if he's undersized]. He can jump over a car. I wouldn't be surprised if he jumps over like an offensive line, Troy Polamalu style, and sacks the quarterback.

Emmanuel Forbes is effectively a wide receiver who will score touchdowns for the Commanders on defense.

I love Emmanuel Forbes. He's a ball hawk. He's got six interceptions returned for a touchdown. Huge. So basically we got a wide receiver that's gonna score touchdowns for us on defense.

The Ravens fleeced themselves by giving Lamar Jackson $185 million guaranteed

Lamar Jackson is still a Raven... he got 185 million guaranteed. That's a lot of money to guarantee to a running back. And I mean the Ravens kind of, they fleeced themselves on that one. Like who? Nobody in their right mind was gonna trade anything worth anything for that guy.

The Celtics will beat the Sixers in four or five games.

I'm ready for a sweep... Celtics in four or five. I think it's gonna be Celtics in four or five.

The Philadelphia 76ers will defeat the Boston Celtics in six games.

Sixers are gonna win. Sixers in six.

The Rangers are pathetic for blowing a 2-0 lead to the Devils

The Rangers are pathetic. The Rangers are pathetic. They are like, that is a pathetic to be up two-oh with two games at home. And then they obviously lost in New Jersey tonight, but they're pathetic. Four nothing shutout.

The Bucks' season was a categorical failure

It's okay to say the Bucks season was a failure. Giannis isn't a failure. None of the players are a failure. Their season was a failure. They were the one seed they had the most wins in the regular season. They were odds on favorites and they got bounced in five games. Right. That's a failure.

Jimmy Butler is the number one player in the NBA

Jimmy Butler. Who is now, you know what, Jimmy's number one, he's my number one player in the NBA.

Aaron Rodgers taking a post-season loss is another failure for him as a Bucks owner

You know who a minority investor in the Bucks is? Aaron Rodgers. Another post-season loss failure for Aaron Rodgers.
