  • @Phil | UHC CEO gunned down: The Reaction

    "And I'm saying this not to diminish the death of Brian Thompson, but I'm saying this because there is true frustration from people that have had to go through the process of doing claims through United Healthcare and other health care companies that have gotten denied, that have had to fight, that have had to stay online for hours on end to really fight, to get paid, to get covered. I've been one of those."

  • @Phil | College Football: What if we did playoffs the old way?

    "And you could have seen like you saw in 1990 and 1991, a split champion, which really kind of set everything in motion towards a playoff system. Now the next iteration was when we went to the BCS and putted the number one versus number two teams. Now if this was prior to the Big Ten Champions Championship, which is only in 2009, we would definitely be looking at Oregon and Texas."

    "These are two things that I think college athletics have always taught us in the past. But I think we've lost our way a little bit now. Moving on to the cfp, we have our field pretty much set. There will be and I think the big controversy will be that last team in. Will it be Alabama? Will it be South Carolina? Will it be smu? Should SMU lose to Clemson? Is Miami still in the mix?"

    "I get that they are in rebuilding mode and I get that they're not what they were last year, but this is still two programs that were at the very top, the top of college football. And they played them both this year. A little bit of luck for Indiana, but that is really out of their Control how good a team is when they actually play them in the year that they play them. And then let's take a look at the SEC."

  • @Phil | Tyson vs Paul is finally here: My prediction

    "So you have two people of two different generations that have generated probably the most amount of eyeballs in the sport. But let's put all that aside and let's talk about the boxing aspect of this. Who's going to win? Who's got the matchups? What is the tale of the tape now when we take a look at Jake Paul, he's the younger guy, of course, the younger guy. So he's going to have more energy."

    "And the last one that I can really think of that had a major impact was probably the Patriot Act. We've gone almost 20 years without major bipartisan legislation. That's not good. And I think that's why we're in a space where people have completely rejected the Democratic Party. At least that's what I think in this past election. But I've always thought that even if I disagree with somebody, I think their voice can be important and their voice can be heard."

  • @Phil | Where does all the chapstick go?
    Click here to reply to @Phil

    "What do you carry on a daily basis? I carry wallet, keys, a phone, maybe cash money. And Chapstick. In fact, I just checked my pockets right now, and that's exactly what I have in my pockets. That's it. But if I'm going into nighttime and I'm getting into something that's a little bit more comfortable, maybe some sweatpants. I won't carry the keys, I won't carry the money. I won't carry wallets."

    "There are plenty of them, so I will get to that. But let's start in the Eastern Conference and let's look at the topic. Cleveland Cavaliers 9 and oh, they're looking to become the first team in NBA history to go undefeated. Like the 1972 Miami Dolphins. I'm kidding there. But they do look good. They're relatively injury free right now, which was a big concern of everybody in the Eastern Conference last year in the playoffs."

  • @Phil | Election Takeaway: Voting has become transactional
    Click here to reply to @Phil

    "As I look across the gamut, I see a lot of voters with that same kind of mindset. And my question to them is, well, if you don't care about what things that I think you should care about, why should I care? Maybe it's time for me to get selfish. Maybe it's time for me to vote in my self interest and go home. I have voted against my self interest for years, and I think others that I talked to have done the same."

  • @Phil | Trump wins: Surprised but not shocked
    Click here to reply to @Phil

    "Now, I thought that a lot of leanings, a lot of anecdotal evidence were pointing towards Kamala Harris. I thought women getting out and voting in greater numbers than men suggested that they were voting for Kamala Harris. Now, I did mention that that may not be true, and that was not true. It was not only women, but Latinos, black men, a lot of voting blocs that had voted for Joe Biden just were not voting for Harris."
