Golf needs an asshole like Patrick Reed

I love Patrick Reed. I do love this man. He is a basic bitch. He's a man baby. On the golf course. He's a man baby. He's amazing. Yes, he's an asshole, but golf needs an asshole.

This is subjective, but Reed has remained a highly controversial and 'villain' figure in the golf world, particularly with his move to LIV Golf.

Ricky Fowler cannot win a major wearing a 'candy-ass' uniform on Sunday

I also feel bad for Sergio... I mean, we've long stood, you know, the Miami Dolphins, the Oregon Ducks. Teams that wear candy-ass uniforms in big-time moments, they just aren't as intimidating. And Ricky went with the creamsicle today, and I like Ricky. But I'm thinking maybe on Sundays in the majors, he needs to tone it down a little. You can wear the candy-ass uniforms after you bring home a title.

Fowler famously has never won a major championship despite many close calls, including this runner-up finish at the 2018 Masters.

Tiger Woods played in an era with shitty golfers who didn't play defense

I think it's almost time to have the conversation of, like, did Tiger Woods just play in an era with shitty golfers? And now the new generation is way better than Tiger Woods ever was. Like you put Jordan Spieth back in the 2009 Masters... When the course didn't play defense at all. He played in the dead ball era.

The quality of the field in Tiger's prime is a constant debate, but Tiger's dominance is statistically unmatched. The claim about 'defense' is satirical as courses don't play active defense.

Sam Bradford will lead the league in completion percentage next year

Tune in next year when Sam Bradford leads the league in completion percentage. After he's been traded for two first-round picks to the Jets.

PredictionFootballMediumSarcastic
In 2018, Bradford played only 3 games for the Cardinals, was benched for Josh Rosen, and had a completion percentage of 62.6% before being released. He was not traded for picks.

The Timberwolves will upset the Rockets or Warriors if they make the playoffs

I got a take that if the Timberwolves make the playoffs, they're going to upset someone. Either the Rockets or the Warriors.

The Timberwolves made the playoffs as the 8th seed and lost in the first round to the Rockets, 4-1. They did not pull off an upset.

The opiate epidemic is much more harmful to the NFL player culture than marijuana

I do believe in the fact that the opiate epidemic is much more harmful to the player culture than marijuana would ever be. The continuation of them pumping players with opiates rather than finding some alternative is what is problematic to me.

This is widely supported by medical experts and former players who have criticized the NFL's historic 'Tordol' and opioid culture.

NFL Draft prospects must understand they are CEOs of Fortune 500 companies

You've got to understand for the next, you know, four or five months, this is locked in time... You are going to be the CEO of a Fortune 500 company, essentially. I never looked at it that way. Of course, I see it completely different now, and that's the way you have to look at it. You are the head of a foundation, of an organization, and you can be for a long period of time.

While Mayfield was the #1 pick, his career was marked by the exact 'optics' and personality issues Leaf warned about before eventually finding more stability later.

Josh Rosen thinks like LeBron James

He thinks like LeBron James thinks. He does. He loves football. He wants to be the best quarterback to have ever played, and what goes with that is most likely being in the biggest market, which could be the New York Giants. And that allows him for so many other business. He wants to be all that.

Rosen's NFL career did not match this comparison, as he bounced around several teams and failed to become a franchise cornerstone or a business mogul in a major market.

The New York media is already getting to Giancarlo Stanton

John Carlos Stanton, done or finished. Follow-up question, is the New York media getting to him? I love that Yankee fans are booing the fuck out of him. I love it. I love it, love it, love it.

Stanton struggled with health and strikeouts in NY, but he eventually won over fans with big playoff moments and has remained a productive player when healthy, not 'finished' in 2018.

Rocks are squishy until someone touches them

What if rocks are squishy until someone touches it? ... Whoa. It took you a second but now whoa that's crazy that's like they're all just a bunch of squishy starfish and then you touch it and it's hard it gets real hard.

OpinionLifeScorchingSarcastic
Geologically, rocks are solid matter and do not change state based on human touch. This is scientifically incorrect.
