Brooks Koepka's main goal for 2019 is the Open Championship

He said to us that he's really focusing on the Open Championship this year, the British Open. That's the one he doesn't have. He really, really wants that one. He's already won two U.S. Opens.

Koepka finished T4 at the 2019 Open Championship. While he performed well, he did not win it as he had hoped.

The 2019 U.S. Open course at Pebble Beach was a disappointment

The course fucking sucked. A bit of a disappointment for the guys that root for the course out there. ... Overall, kind of a disappointing showing from the course. I feel like it's got to drop a little bit in the world rankings.

The course played significantly easier than expected, with a record low winning score for Pebble Beach US Opens, supporting PFT's claim that it 'underperformed' as a challenge.

Being on LeBron James's team guarantees you will eventually be traded

If you are part of LeBron's team, this is since July 2010... there's been 42 trades if you were on LeBron's team. ... essentially, if you're on LeBron's team, it's not a if, it's just a when. LeBron will decide to trade you.

LeBron's teams continue to have high turnover rates as he pushes for immediate title contention, a trend that persisted through his entire Lakers tenure.

The Lakers will never win another championship because of the 'Ball Curse'

There's a curse that's been put on. ... And that is the ball curse. The big baller brand curse. LeVar [Ball] said that they will never win another championship. After trading away his son. ... It will be the worst move the Lakers ever did in their life, and they will never win another championship. Guarantee it.

The Lakers won the NBA Championship the very next season (2020), making this prediction spectacularly wrong.

Aaron Rodgers hates and despises Matt LaFleur

Aaron Rodgers, Matt LaFleur, not off to the best start. And I'm not making like a mountain out of a molehill. I think Aaron Rodgers hates Matt LaFleur. Despises him.

While they had public disagreements over the years, they won three straight NFC North titles together, suggesting 'despises' was an overstatement of a standard power struggle.

Jim Nantz is the best broadcaster to ever call golf on television

I'd rather listen to [Jim Nantz] do golf than listen to myself do golf. ... I think he's the best to ever call golf on TV in my lifetime, or at least in my adulthood. And I wanted to hear him do golf at Pebble Beach. ... I'd rather fall asleep to him calling golf while I lay on the couch than anybody else.

This is a subjective opinion on broadcasting quality.

I would support but not encourage my daughter if she wanted to box

I would not like my daughter to fight. ... I know I will never tell my kids not to. I am not encouraging them to, but at the same time, I will support them whatever they want to do, you know, in life, because you have to.

This is a personal parenting philosophy.

A cross breeze is better than using air conditioning

Listen, son. You can just open up the windows on both sides. You get a great cross breeze through the house. It's the same thing as having AC on. ... Cross breeze is better than the AC.

Kawhi Leonard is actually more fun than the internet portrays him

Let's be nice to Kawhi. I think Kawhi is more fun than we then the internet collectively has put on him. ... The brand is very strong. ... There's nothing he can do at this point to be like, oh, my God, Kawhi's coming out of his shell.

While Leonard is private, teammate accounts often suggest he is funny and talkative in private, supporting Big Cat's view.
