Two friends, and known arm-chair managers, with way too many opinions and not nearly enough credibility dive into the wild world of sports. From the NFL to the NBA to whatever game they watched last night, no take is too hot - and no fact is fully verified. Welcome to Don't Quote Us... seriously, don't.
We're doing things a little differently this week — Isaiah and Erb went LIVE for the 2026 NBA Draft and we're dropping the full reaction as this week's episode!
From the jump, Erb threw out a bold pre-draft prediction: Darren Peterson goes #1 to Washington and AJ Dybantsa stays home in Utah. So how'd that hold up? Spoiler — AJ DeBonsa went #1 to the Wizards, Darren Peterson landed with the Jazz, and Cam Boozer triggered the domino that sent Caleb Wilson to Chicago at four. We break down every pick in real time — the fits, the surprises, the reaches, and the guys we think are going way too early (looking at you, Nate Ament).
We also get into:
Whether Isaiah sees LeBron James in AJ Dybantsa's game
AJ Dybantsa vs. Cooper Flagg — who has the better NBA career?
Why Lebaron Philon and Kingston Flemings both worried us heading in
The worst cities to get drafted to (Winnipeg wins, it's not close)
The Julius Randle Reverse Curse and why 2028 is the year of the Wolves
OKC trading picks for Bennett Stirtz and what it signals about their roster-building philosophy
Eubka Okorie flying up the board to Memphis and what it means for Ja Morant's future
Plus the usual chaos — bad draft hats, a camera guy crashing the ESPN shot, and two guys watching streams on a delay ruining picks for each other.

Knicks Up 2-0, The Stanley Cup Is Chaos & Happy Birthday Erb
It's Erb's 33rd birthday, and to celebrate, we're diving headfirst into the biggest sports weekend of the year. The New York Knicks have stolen both games in San Antonio — Jalen Brunson playing through a knee injury, Wemby missing the buzzer beater that would have tied it — and the NBA Finals are now headed to Madison Square Garden for the first time in over 25 years. Cue the chaos, the Spike Lee content, and Donald Trump somehow making a Knicks Finals game about himself.
We break down what the Spurs need to do to claw back into this series, whether Wemby doodling in Central Park is a sign of locked-in zen or just a very French pregame ritual, and weigh in on the greatest debate in sports media: exactly how many average Joes would it take to stop Mac McClung one-on-one? We also ask the age-old GM hypothetical — if you had to trade your entire roster for one player, who's worth it?
The Stanley Cup Finals get their due respect too. Vegas leads Carolina 2-1 in what's shaping up to be one of the wildest series in recent memory — four-goal deficits erased, hat tricks in five minutes, a slap shot to the face, and a self-goal deflection to win in overtime. Mitch Marner is absolutely cooking, and if you're not watching, you're missing out.
We also get into the controversy surrounding Texas Tech QB Brendan Sorsby's court-granted eligibility reinstatement after a gambling suspension — and why Erb thinks the Iowa State kids who got crucified for far less deserve a serious apology. Plus, the 2026 World Cup kicks off, and Erb gives a crash course on Team USA's group, the players to watch, and why the European squads are already wilting in the American heat.
We close it out with a segment that will get some people in the comments — most overrated moments in sports history. Erb goes after Wilt's 100-point game. Isaiah dismisses half the Yankees' and Canadiens' championship banners. No take too hot and nothing fully verified.

Knicks Are Back, Wemby Is an Alien & Live Trivia Goes Sideways
The New York Knicks are heading to the NBA Finals for the first time since 1999 — winners of 11 straight and back-to-back sweeps — and Isaiah and Erb are here to break it all down.
We start with a full Knicks-Cavs series debrief: the celebrity seating controversy in Cleveland, how New York's been dismantling teams in elimination games by 30+ points, and the sneaky defensive scheme they've been running with Karl-Anthony Towns that's quietly one of the best in the league. From there, it's a hard conversation about whether this is truly the ceiling for a Donovan Mitchell-led team, what the Garland trade looks like in hindsight, and why Cleveland might be stuck with James Harden whether they like it or not.
Then we flip West. The OKC-San Antonio series has been wild — injuries, questionable officiating, and one very suspicious locker room moment — but mostly it's been the Victor Wembanyama show. We dig into the staggering net rating numbers with and without Wemby, debate what tier of player he actually belongs in (spoiler: we invented a new one), and ask just how much of the Spurs' cap he deserves.
We also run through the All-NBA teams, debate LeBron's snub, and discuss what Jalen Duran's third-team selection means for Detroit's offseason. Then it's over to baseball — Shohei's chasing a Cy Young while somehow also being a top-15 offensive player, Jacob Mizikowski might be doing things that shouldn't be physically possible, the Cubs are riding waves, and the Rays are doing what everyone pretended to not see coming.
We close it out with a live sports trivia segment where Erb goes on the clock — 6 out of 9, not bad for a guy who had no warning.
No take too hot and nothing fully verified.
