Jamal Adams is the new Antonio Brown of contract disputes

Dak Prescott and Jamal Adams to figure out whose contract is going to be... we talk a little bit about Jamal on Friday show he is the new Antonio Brown. We all just think that Jamal Adams is now... he has us all convinced that he's a free agent, right? He's still got two years that they can control his contract.

Adams was eventually traded to the Seahawks in July 2020, following his aggressive push to leave New York, mirroring the 'forced exit' strategy Big Cat identified.

Joe Rogan is officially uncancellable

Twitter decided to go like they went full send and I'm going to tip my cap to The cancel Brigade because they went for the final boss Joe Rogan and failed... he is uncancelled because he would actually let's say that Twitter was able to get his contract with Spotify canceled, right? He would just take that ride that wave of publicity. Go back to what he was doing before and still make a shitload of money.

Rogan remained at Spotify despite several subsequent high-profile attempts to remove him (e.g., the Neil Young controversy), proving Big Cat's point about his audience retention.

Lacrosse is legitimate tribal warfare

Lacrosse is sick, like everyone is looking at Lacrosse wrong, like Lacrosse is just like legitimately trying Tribal Warfare in the mud... Tribal Warfare is back in form of Lacrosse.

While poetic and based on the sport's Indigenous roots, this is ultimately a subjective stylistic opinion.

The NFL shield logo hat is the dopest hat ever

There's no Team hat is their Championship hat nothing. Other than that NFL hat which by the way, I thought this is the dopest hat I've ever seen because I'd never really seen one other than on a ref.

Purely a matter of personal taste, though the internet largely mocked it.

Barry Bonds is the greatest baseball player of all time, regardless of steroids

Barry Bonds is the best baseball player of all time. I have no problems on fine without I don't care if you want to throw in steroids, whatever you want to say that you can't erase that you can't take that away that he was... the best baseball player of all time 100%.

Subjective GOAT debate, though Bonds remains the statistical leader in several major categories despite the lack of Hall of Fame induction.

Jose Altuve was clearly acting shady during his 2019 walk-off celebration

I remember watching it... and Going something's and this is before any of the there was even a whiff of the cheating scandal and I thought something was really bizarre about his behavior after that walk off... Greatest moment of his career and he tells he doesn't want to take his shirt off because his wife is shy.

MLB's investigation found no evidence of buzzers being used, though the theory remains incredibly popular among fans. Altuve's 'shy wife' excuse is still widely mocked.

We need to end the stigma around men dyeing their hair

I want to get out there and let people know it's okay to dye your hair as long as you're honest about it. I have gray I get the grades around the temple... Let's end the stigma. I dye my hair and I'm not ashamed of it.

This is a social opinion.

Every man should try to be the best version of himself, including skincare and manicures

I believe that every guy should try to be the best version of themselves. Not just with how they look but with everything manicure and pedicure... you know I started a men's skincare line because their egos... guys need to take care of the skin.

This is a subjective lifestyle recommendation.

Monday Night Football has lost its sense of occasion and gone to the dogs

For whatever reason they've let Monday Night Football go to the dogs and it's been that way for a while... Five six seven seasons, they don't have the cameras. They don't have coverage... There's no sense of occasion. They're literally telling you this is Monday and this is football, but you feel like you're watching a game that could be on any day anywhere.

This was a common media criticism at the time, which eventually led to ESPN spending big to hire Joe Buck and Troy Aikman to restore the 'sense of occasion.'

LeBron James intentionally sat out the end of the 2019 season because he was tipped off about COVID early

You remember that picture of LeBron James staying at the end of the bench far away from his teammates... knowing what we know now about LeBron James is financial ties to the Chinese government do you think he got tipped off ahead of time and was like hey I got to stay away from people so much that I'm going to try to send them all to New Orleans?

This is a satirical conspiracy theory with no factual basis regarding the timeline of the pandemic.

Shitty sports columnists like Phil Mushnick make sports more fun

We need shitty columnists. Shitty columnists make Sports more fun while they're trying to make it less fun. Right, exactly.

Subjective opinion on the ecosystem of sports media.
