Chet Holmgren should spend his injury year getting 'dummy thicc'

If I'm Chet Holmgren, I'm spending this year, like doctor's orders. You can't go on the treadmill. You can't go on the elliptical. No Peloton, no stair climber, just get dummy [thicc] Chet. Just get fat, Chet. You'll be a better basketball player.

Chet Holmgren eventually returned for the 2023-2024 season looking stronger and had a great rookie campaign, though he didn't literally 'get fat'.

McLaren is dead to me for dumping Daniel Ricciardo

Danny Ricciardo got dumped by McLaren. McLaren is dead to me now. I hate them. I always hated them, but now I really hate them. Kind of fucked up.

This is a personal subjective opinion on his fandom.

Week Zero should always feature at least one ranked team to feel meaningful

What they should do is there should be one matchup every week zero where one of the teams is ranked number 25 in the nation. Just put a ranking next to it. I don't care... just like put those little numbers next to one of the team's names to make me feel like I'm not completely wasting my Saturday.

Week Zero scheduling remains inconsistent, but top-ranked teams occasionally play (e.g., FSU in 2024), though not by mandate.

Either Russell Westbrook or Patrick Beverley will be gone from the Lakers by mid-season

This is going to be the team that will absolutely implode. It's going to be incredible. Like Russell Westbrook and Patrick Beverley there, that's the very definition of like, there's only room for one of those two guys. Like one of those guys is going to be gone by mid season. There's no question about it.

Both players were indeed traded mid-season on February 9, 2023. PFT was spot on that the pairing wouldn't last.

Mad Dog Russo only says Nick Saban isn't the GOAT to look stupid and get attention

He said that Nick Saban is not the greatest coach of all time, which is a very funny thing to do... he said, 'How can I have a take that shocks the world and makes me look really stupid?' Boom. Mission accomplished.

This is a subjective evaluation of Russo's intent as a media personality.

The TGL indoor golf league is basically a 'Dude Perfect life simulator'

The new PGA thing, it looks like, like a dude perfect life simulator. The indoor tour with Rory and tiger. There's just going to like be standing in convention halls, just like smashing drives. And they're turning they're basically, they're trying to turn golf into, as close to a video game as you can get.

The TGL league matches this description (high-tech arena golf), though it was delayed to 2025.

Monday Night Golf is a perfect idea and more sports should use Monday nights

They're going to start doing Monday night golf, which I don't know why more sports don't do this. Monday night is the perfect night for sports because everyone's like, oh man, I wish it was the weekend. Monday sucks. Give us sports. Every Monday night, every Monday, there should be Monday night football every Monday night in different sports.

The TGL indeed chose Monday nights for its schedule, validating Big Cat's point about the vacancy.

Boobs are the undisputed #1 overall pick for things that are cooler in slow motion

Boobs, easy. So they said, when we said slow motion, max, Hank and memes... they're like, oh, easy way. Who picked? Yeah. But you guys were going to pick it... literally Max took his pants off and started jerking off. He's like boom, boom and boom.

Inherently subjective and comedic.

I wouldn't give up watching football even to double my net worth

[Speaker 4]: Would you double your net worth if it meant that you were no longer allowed to watch NFL football? [Wahlberg]: No, I don't think so. I don't think it distracts me or it takes away from what I'm doing in my primary business on my job.

Subjective personal choice.

Tom Cruise is the biggest movie star in the history of film

I got to tell you, Tom cruise is probably the biggest movie star in the history of film. One of them, for sure. I know if I could get the chance to work with Tom I'm showing up.

While subjective, Cruise's box office longevity and Top Gun: Maverick's performance make this a very strong argument.

Hangovers at age 37 are a traumatic experience that ruins your entire week

I'm pre upset at myself for how shitty I'm going to feel on Saturday and Sunday... I know I can reach my peak. It's just the, when I reached my peak, the aftermath is very, very difficult to bounce back with. So I'm, I probably won't feel good again until mid next week. So yeah, pre fire-festing the hangover and the regret that I have from going on a bachelor party at 37.

Universal truth for many, but still a subjective personal experience.
