Matt Kucher is a douchebag for refusing to finish his round on Sunday

Matt Kucher. What a dish. Dickhead. What a douchebag... picks up his ball and leaves and says it's too dark. And came back on Monday to finish half a hole. When everyone else had finished... Douchebag move by him.

Inherently subjective but reflected the general consensus of the sports media at the time.

Matt Kucher was actually taking a stand for faster play by refusing to finish on Sunday

I did see a golf journalist who had a thread breaking down why he might have been doing it... the group in front of 'em was playing super, super slow all day... Kucher was basically standing up for the guy who lost a lead... maybe he was just trying to set an example of like, the guy should have been playing faster in front of them.

Kucher later apologized for the 'mess' he created, suggesting the 'protest' defense wasn't his primary intent.

JJ McCarthy will be back in two months from his meniscus injury but it will linger

[JJ McCarthy] could be back. He'll probably be back in like two months and then it'll linger for a little bit longer... And it'll come back like within the next couple years. Like there'll always be the worry of, you know, the meniscus to, it could tear again. It probably will tear again.

McCarthy underwent a full repair and was ruled out for the entire 2024 season, making the 'two months' timeline incorrect.

The Washington Huskies are my new official Big 10 team

[My Big 10 team is] the Washington Huskies... because Belichick is a defensive coordinator. Steve Belichick... they combine two of my great loves before games. They've got drinking and then they've sailboats.

He stuck with this throughout the season as a fan bit.

Michigan will not be in the top 10 by October 5th

Michigan's nine. But aren't they gonna stink this year? ...They will not be in the top 10 by October 5th. Mark my word.

Michigan lost to Texas and struggled early, falling to #10 by Sept 22 and then out of the top 10 entirely before Oct 5th after struggling with USC/Minnesota.

Brandon Aiyuk and John Lynch's personal friendship will lead to a deal with the Niners

His agent's a guy named Ryan Williams... Ryan Williams and John Lynch are like lifelong buddies... John Lynch was at the wedding... at the end of the day, if those are the two people who are running the business operation in this situation, like they'll find a way to get Aiyuk dressed and with the Niners.

Aiyuk eventually signed a long-term extension with the 49ers on August 29, 2024, staying with the team as Schrager predicted.

Rhythm is the essential basis for all success in sports and life

The basis of it all is rhythm, whether they realize it or not... All of these Rhythm Masters that I interviewed are winners. They know how to go there, how to stay there, and they know how to win... without rhythm, there could be no sports.

Subjective worldview.

Jayden Daniels is the real deal and Commanders staff are obsessed with him

I talk to Cliff [Kingsbury] all the time... Everyone's happy... holy shit bro, like, they're talking like this guy is the real deal in Washington and Jayden Daniels has been everything they were hoping for and more in training camp.

Daniels went on to have a historic rookie season, winning Offensive Rookie of the Year and proving the early hype correct.

Russell Wilson will be the Week 1 starter for the Steelers

I think Russell Wilson. ...I just know that when they brought him in it was like they put tunnel vision on. They're like, Russell's our guy... I think the plan is Russell Wilson week one.

Wilson was named the starter but a calf injury kept him out of Week 1; Justin Fields started the opener.

As you get older, you grow into your instrument, not out of it

One of the things [Mickey] said that really stuck with me is, as you get older, you grow into your instrument, not out of it.

Boobs are officially back in style and the undisputed 1-1 pick for soft things

I'm going boobs. Correct. Boobs are back now. Sydney Sweeney brought boobs back for a while... And I'm glad that they are. Yes. Very soft.

Subjective opinion regarding a Mount Rushmore draft.
