The Raptors are the first team that can actually be called 'World Champions' because they are Canadian

I think we can actually say world champions for the first time because they are Canadian. They have stolen our trophy.

The Raptors are indeed from Canada, making them the first non-US team to win, though 'World Champions' is still a marketing term.

Injuries are part of the game and shouldn't lead to an asterisk for the Raptors' title

Being healthy is part of winning an NBA championship. And I hate when people do the asterisks. Being healthy is part of winning an NBA championship.

This is a subjective philosophy on how to value championships.

The Kawhi Leonard trade is the most perfect one-year rental in NBA history

The best trade ever for a one year guy... going all in for one year and being like, let's just do it. Let's have Kawhi come to Toronto. He might not stay... and just throw all of our chips in the middle, and it worked out.

Kawhi won the FMVP and the title, then left for the Clippers. It is widely cited as the greatest rental trade ever.

I want the US Open course to be harder; currently it is being a 'wussy'

The course is being a little bit of a wussy... I want even par to win my U.S. Open. I want shitty golf. I want awful golf.

Gary Woodland won the 2019 US Open at -13. Big Cat's desire for even par to win was not met.

The deer seen on the US Open broadcast are fake and being let loose from a truck

Those are fake deer... I'm saying there's a guy. I'm saying a guy's standing on the beach with a big fucking truck of deer and just letting them loose. I don't mind that, actually.

The deer at Pebble Beach are real, though networks are known for staging scenic shots.

Mike Allstott is a sellout because he is a high school coach who doesn't use a fullback

Mike Allstott, one of my heroes, all-time fullback... is a sellout. He's a high school coach, and he doesn't use a fullback in his offense.

While Alstott likely has coaching reasons, the 'sellout' label is purely for comedic effect.

Acai bowls are a scam that make you fat because they are basically just ice cream

I found out about them [Acai Bowls]. They're awesome. It's basically ice cream. But then I found out they make you fat... Turns out it basically is ice cream. They're labeled as superfood.

Many commercial Acai bowls are high in sugar and calories, often compared to frozen desserts.

Doing LSD with your parents is a high-risk, low-reward proposition

If you do LSD with your parents, your ceiling is having not a bad time... Your basement, your floor is freaking out and irreparably damaging your relationship with your parents.

This is a subjective risk assessment, but logically sound in the context of relationship management.

Sweden will be the toughest opponent in the USWNT World Cup group

Sweden, they actually usually... that's who knocked us out when we were in the Olympics. So I would say that they're gonna be they're probably gonna be the toughest one.

The US played Sweden on June 20, 2019, and won 2-0. Sweden was the toughest test in the group stage.
