Tom Izzo is an overrated basketball coach

It's also the start of Coach Izzo's overrated season. We were the first ones on that bandwagon like a year and a half ago, so I'm going to restake my claim on that.

Izzo is a Hall of Famer with a title and many Final Fours, making this technically incorrect by consensus, but the take is more about his tournament early exits which did occur in 2018 (losing to Syracuse in the Round of 32).

Blind resume season is going to be tough on Wisconsin's CFP chances

Blind resume season is going to be tough on Wisconsin. That's going to be bad luck. It's going to be like, here are four teams that have beaten three top ten teams, and then there's Wisconsin that has beaten a team ranked number 80.

Wisconsin finished the regular season 12-0 but remained at #4 until losing the Big Ten Title game to Ohio State, which ultimately kept them out of the playoff. The 'blind resume' was indeed their biggest hurdle.

Apple intentionally ruins old iPhones via software updates to force users to upgrade

Apple, every single time they release a new iPhone, they do something with the software and they make all of our old iPhones suck. It's fucked up. They just screw up the IOS and they make it drain your battery allegedly... theoretically I'm very woke to this.

In 2017, Apple admitted to slowing down older iPhones with aging batteries to prevent unexpected shutdowns. They eventually settled a class-action lawsuit for $500 million in 2020 over this 'throttling'.

USA Soccer is off the hook for missing the World Cup because Italy missed it too

USA Soccer is officially on the cool throne because Italy did not make the World Cup either. And that's like a big deal... we're off the hook, though. Because this is like the hottest chick who didn't make the ball... we can laugh and be like, no, those guys actually try, and they suck. It's not us.

Subjective justification for sports embarrassment.

Men are the persecuted gender because male animals have to look attractive in nature

In the animal kingdom, by and large, males actually are the ones who have to bear the burden of looking attractive all the time. Like peacocks or cardinals... Females actually don't have to wear as much makeup... Add up all the animals in the world, and we actually are the persecuted animals. We're the persecuted gender. The male.

While the biological fact about sexual dimorphism in many species is true (males having more elaborate displays), the conclusion that it makes human males 'persecuted' is a satirical joke.

My ass is the power source for everything on the football field

Everything comes from your glute, you know, your ass, your ass is your power source for everything. You gotta be a big butt guy. And so, you know, when you get that glute firing and you get everything where you're working it through that, it puts less stress on things.

Biologically and kinesthetically, the gluteus maximus is the primary engine for power and explosive movement in sports.

Rob Gronkowski is a genius who is very calculated about his public persona

Gronk's really good with numbers, and I'm not lying... He can remember, like, plays and, like, or, like, where guys are drafted, this, that... Gronk's real calculated with with with his whole persona man. He knows that he's just the Gronk and like he can play it out and he knows when to play it out and all that stuff.
