Rugby is already huge in America

I'm going to take you one step further and say rugby is already huge in America. This was the, yeah, we're here. Get used to it.

OpinionMediaMediumSarcastic
Rugby remains a niche sport in America compared to the Big 4 leagues.

Music and atmosphere in NBA arenas directly affects player rhythm and pace

It was like the sloppiest game ever, and that's not just because the Knicks are always sloppy, but it was like no one could get a rhythm... Then they put the music on in the second half, and the pace picked right up, and they almost hit the over... So it was clear that the music did actually affect the players.

While subjective, Draymond Green and other players agreed at the time that the lack of music felt 'trash' and disrupted the flow.

I could easily kill a wolf one-on-one with my bare hands

I would be able to take a Wolf one-on-one... His point is exactly right. Wolves don't have thumbs. People forget that. So I would just grab the wolf's little neck and snap that thing. Wolf wouldn't even know what hit him.

Biologically, a human (especially one not trained in combat) is very unlikely to kill a healthy adult wolf with bare hands.

Mitchell Trubisky changed his name to 'Mitchell' purely to avoid the 'Mitch the Bitch' nickname

I think he did that just simply so people can't say he's mitch the bitch which makes sense right

Trubisky later clarified he just preferred the name his mother gave him, though the nickname concerns were widely joked about.

It is perfectly acceptable to take your shoes off on a cross-country flight

I always take my shoes off when I'm sitting on a very long flight, and I know my socks are clean... i don't care it's okay travel i've always said travel is one of those things where you just put your head down you worry about yourself don't don't look up if you want to take your shoes out that's fine

This is a perennial debate in travel etiquette with no objective resolution.

Michael Jordan could still average 15 points and 5 assists in the NBA right now

I don't want to say it, but I think he knows that I know that he knows he could probably still drop like 15 with maybe five assists a night in the NBA.

It is physically impossible for a 54-year-old, even the GOAT, to average 15/5 in the modern NBA.

Hometown saviors always work out well for the Cleveland Browns

He said that he would go play in Cleveland. He's a hometown kid. We all know that hometown quarterbacks work out really well for Cleveland. They're always saviors.

Hot TakeFootballHotSarcastic
Trubisky never actually played for the Browns, and Cleveland's QB carousel continued for years, proving the sarcasm correct.

I could still average 10 points and 5 assists in the NBA right now

I still play with pros all the time. There's moments where you watch guys who just got paid $60, $70, $80 million for having marginal numbers where I'm not going to sit there and tell you, I feel like I can get nine or ten points a game in the league. I feel like I can get four or five assists in a game.

Subjective because he never attempted a comeback at age 35, but historically, older players with major injuries struggle to maintain NBA pace.

Kansas is the most consistent team in college basketball and my pick to win the tournament

I'm saying Kansas. See, I think Kansas is the most consistent team in the country. But if they get matched up against Purdue, I'll probably take Purdue in that ballgame. Because they have no inside presence.

North Carolina won the 2017 NCAA Tournament. Kansas was a 1-seed but lost to Oregon in the Elite Eight.

Gonzaga will fail to reach the Final Four this year

Now I may lose a bet to Greenberg because I had a bet with Seth Greenberg before that they [Gonzaga] don't get the Final Four.

Gonzaga reached the Final Four and the National Championship game in 2017, meaning Jay lost the bet.
