OJ Simpson was a significantly better football player than he was a person

Say what you will about OJ. But he was a way, way better football player than person. Absolutely. Not even close. Like 2000 yards in 14 games.

The take is subjective, but accurately reflects Simpson's Hall of Fame career versus his legal history.

The Buffalo Bills have been cursed from returning to the Super Bowl since OJ Simpson committed murder in 1994

I realized after OJ died, the Bills haven't made the Super Bowl since he committed double murder. 1994, the Bills played in the Super Bowl. Summer 94 [the murder happened]. This might be good things for the Bills [now that he's dead].

The Bills' last Super Bowl appearance was indeed Super Bowl XXVIII (January 1994), and the murders occurred in June 1994. They have not returned since.

OJ Simpson is in heaven because they needed a great running back

I got into a little tiff with Jose Canseco online... because when OJ died, I said, RIP to OJ Simpson. Heaven just got a great running back. Jose Canseco was like, wait a second. OJ's not in heaven.

The destination of OJ Simpson's soul is a matter of religious belief and satire.

Skinny jeans are a joke and it is impossible to look tough while wearing them

I think that certain fads out there, certain trends are just set up as a joke by the industry to see what these suckers will pay for and start wearing. I think the entire skinny jeans movement was like that. You can't, in my opinion, you can't look tough wearing skinny jeans.

This is a purely subjective fashion opinion.

The 2024 Masters feels like it is Scotty Scheffler's destiny to win

Scotty Scheffler does just look like it's a destiny. It looks like he is locked in on all accounts.

Scotty Scheffler went on to win the 2024 Masters on April 14, 2024.

Shohei Ohtani was likely gambling and is using Ippei Mizuhara as a cover

I think he was gambling... I think they just want the chaos. But I think that's crazy to accuse unless like they did a full investigation and he's clear.

The Department of Justice and MLB investigations both concluded that Ohtani was a victim of fraud and was not involved in gambling.

John Calipari will be a successful coach at Arkansas

Cal's gonna win it at Arkansas. He's gonna be a good coach in Arkansas. It's a good basketball school.

Calipari's tenure at Arkansas is just beginning and cannot be evaluated yet.

Tiger Woods will not make the cut at the 2024 Masters

Tiger's not making the cut this year. I mean, think about the Masters is though... he might. I think Tiger probably 50-50, right?

Tiger Woods made the cut at the 2024 Masters, setting a record with 24 consecutive cuts made at Augusta.

Max Homa needs to be more of an asshole to win major championships

I do like [Max Homa], but I think he has that Rory disease... He wants to be liked too much. He's a very nice guy. But I want him to be more of an asshole because I think assholes win these things.

Subjective opinion on personality traits and their link to winning.

Ludvig Åberg is a future true superstar built in a lab

This Ludvig guy from Sweden's my new favorite golfer. He's just built in a lab. Perfect swing, stallion, 6'3". I think he's gonna end up being a true superstar.

Åberg finished 2nd in the 2024 Masters in his major debut, supporting the 'superstar' trajectory.

The Dallas Stars are the best team in the NHL and a strong Stanley Cup future bet

If anyone else is gonna get it done, I think Dallas is okay. If you want to make a future bet, Dallas... Dallas is the best team in the league.

The Dallas Stars reached the Western Conference Finals but were eliminated by the Edmonton Oilers, so they did not win the Cup or finish as the definitively 'best' team.

Hitchhiking should be brought back because it was generally safe

Bring back hitchhiking. Hitchhiking was safe. I feel like hitchhiking got a bad rap because there were a couple serial killers out there. Almost 100% of hitchhikers ended without a serial killer encounter.

This is a subjective sociological take delivered satirically.
