This week on You’re Wrong… And Here’s Why:

Opening 

  • 00:00 – 01:55
    Chris and Greg discuss the arrival of the Sweet 16, the start of the MLB season, and the wild Sixers season. Greg joins a fantasy baseball league for the first time in years and shares his skepticism.


🏈 NFL Free Agency Moves

  • 02:39 – 09:30

  • The Eagles signed OL Kendall Lamm.

  • Russell Wilson signs with the New York Giants on a one-year deal; Greg is thrilled.

  • Chris speculates Rodgers to Pittsburgh and hopes for Carson Wentz to get a shot in Cleveland.

  • Stefon Diggs signs with the Patriots (3 years, $69M). They discuss his injury history, age, and fit with Drake Maye.


🏀 NBA Talk: Injuries & Tanking

  • 09:33 – 15:17

  • Damian Lillard diagnosed with DVT (blood clot).

  • Miami Heat had lost 10 straight before rebounding vs. the Warriors.

  • NBA tanking is rampant: teams like the Sixers and Raptors rest young players.

  • Sixers now play deep bench guys (e.g. Jeff Dowtin, OShae Brissett), making the product unwatchable.


🏀 Sixers Lottery & Draft Talk

  • 15:17 – 19:10

  • Chris fears the Sixers will lose their top-6 protected pick to OKC.

  • They discuss top prospects like Dylan Harper, Jared McCain, and how that would impact Philly’s already guard-heavy roster.


🏀 NCAA Hypothetical: NBA Players on 16-Seeds

  • 19:10 – 21:12

  • Chris recalls a comment from Alex Caruso: “15–20 NBA players could carry a 16-seed to a national title.”

  • They debate how many elite NBA players could realistically do it..


🏀 Villanova Coaching Rumor

  • 20:09 – 22:12

  • Chris mentions a report that Villanova will hire Richard Pitino, and Donovan Dent may transfer with him.

  • Greg prefers Oklahoma’s Porter Moser but admits Dent is a big addition if true.


🏀 Sweet 16 Game Previews (March Madness)

Thursday Games

  • 22:12 – 30:09
    – BYU vs. Alabama – Alabama is more talented, but BYU could cover.
    – Maryland vs. Florida – Greg praises Florida, says Maryland is scrappy but expects Gators to cover.
    – Arizona vs. Duke – Duke is dominant; Greg predicts a Duke cover.
    – Arkansas vs. Texas Tech – Despite bracket bitterness, Greg respects Arkansas but favors JT Toppin and Texas Tech.

Friday Games

  • 30:09 – 41:06
    Mississippi vs. Michigan State – MSU needs a fast start; Greg thinks Ole Miss covers, but MSU wins.
    Kentucky vs. Tennessee – Kentucky has beaten them twice; Greg believes they’ll do it again.
    Michigan vs. Auburn – Tough matchup for Michigan’s bigs; Auburn gets the edge.
    Purdue vs. Houston – Purdue can score, but Houston’s defense prevails (Purdue covers, Houston wins).


🏀 Final Four Predictions

  • 41:06 – End
    Greg’s picks:

  • Michigan State over Auburn

  • Florida over Texas Tech

  • Duke over Alabama
