Hammocks are more afraid of you than you are of them

Hammocks are more afraid of you than you are of them. My take is that that's a fact. Some of us aren't pussies and it's extreme sports. It's like extreme sleeping. Big Mattress is trying to steer you away from hammocks. Anytime somebody dies in a hammock, it becomes a big news story like a shark attack.

Hot TakeLifeHotSarcastic
The claim that hammocks are 'more afraid of you' is metaphorical/satirical and the safety comparison to bears is hyperbolic for comedic effect.

Sportsmanship should stop at the Little League level

The sportsmanship stops at Little League. That's really what it is. Like when people are like, oh, you gotta win class. You gotta do the—that shit is not for high level college basketball, high level pro sports. I don't care. I want bad losers. I want people who are, who crash out when they lose.

This is an inherently subjective philosophy on sports culture.

The Dodgers will win the World Series and 125 games

My prediction is Dodgers win the World Series and they win 125 games. Dodgers over Rangers in the World Series. Dodgers win 125.

The 2025 MLB season has not yet concluded to verify win totals or the World Series champion.

The Washington Nationals will sneakily compete for a wild card spot

I think the Washington Nationals are going to sneaky compete for a wild card spot. That's my wild prediction. They won't be out of it in September.

Pending the outcome of the 2025 MLB season.

The Giants are destined for 4-12 wins with Jameis and exactly 6 with Russell Wilson

If Russell Wilson plays the whole year, the Giants are destined for six wins. And if Jameis Winston plays the whole year, the Giants are destined for four to 12.

This take is based on the simulated 2025 scenario where both are on the Giants.

Stefon Diggs to the Patriots provides Drake May with mental reps on dealing with diva wide receivers

Even in the 10 minutes I had to process this, it's good, it's good reps for Drake May like, you know, you're a second year qb, you got a diva wide receiver. Like that's something every quarterback has to go through. He's going to get a PhD in dealing with a diva wide receiver.

Based on simulated 2025 roster move; effectiveness is subjective.

Duke is going to win the NCAA Tournament

I think Duke's gonna win it all though. I'm pretty set in that thought. I mean, winning a second round game by the way they did against Baylor. Just not competitive.

Pending the conclusion of the 2025 NCAA Tournament.

Houston will dominate Purdue in the Sweet 16

I love Houston. I think Houston's going to dominate Purdue. I said something nice about Purdue someday this might say something mean about Purdue. You're gonna get your fucking ass kicked.

Doc Rivers has won three games in a playoff series many times and doesn't get enough credit for it

When he [Doc Rivers] loses the three-one leads, he's won three games. That should be worth something. Like if you get up 28 to three against the Patriots of the Super Bowl, that should be worth something.

The take is satirical; literally, winning three games is a fact of a blown 3-1 lead, but the value of it is mockingly inflated.

FIFA is not a corrupt organization

Anyone that was pointing a finger at Sep Blatter and saying that FIFA is corrupt... Guess what? You're wrong. He's been officially cleared. Fifa. It turns out plot twist, not corrupt. Everything's above board in FIFA.

Hot TakeSoccerScorchingSarcastic
The statement is satirical. While Blatter may have been cleared by a specific court, FIFA's historical corruption is widely documented.

The Wisconsin Badgers women's hockey team is a true dynasty

The Wisconsin Badgers women's hockey team won another national title. Four outta six years, eight total dominant. Dynasty for sure. That's the Dynasty.

The Badgers have indeed won 4 of the last 6 titles as of the 2024-25 timeframe.

Maryland needs Florida's Clayton to sprain an ankle to win the Sweet 16 matchup

I think we need Clayton to sprain his ankle. Not badly, not bad. I'm not rooting for it and I'm not rooting for an injury like that guy's got such big balls... Maryland needs to play its best, the best be the best version of itself and I think they can win the game.

Pending the result of the Maryland/Florida Sweet 16 game.

Annual free agency in college sports is detrimental

I'm pro players getting money, I'm anti-free agency every single year. 'Cause that's just stupid. It doesn't exist in any other sport. So I don't know, there's a lot that's going on, but... I think it's just kind of the new reality.

Subjective opinion on the structural health of college sports.

LeBron James is one of the best and most gracious interview subjects

I'd say him [LeBron], I appreciate the times that we talk where I think he gives you more than just the, the garden variety. When they [LeBron, Tiger, Jeter] seem like they're invested and actually present in a way that they're—I don't wanna say into it, but that it isn't a chore. That's the best you can hope for.
