Will Compton, Comedian Sam Morril, Mt Rushmore Of Orange Things And The Finale Of Barstool Summer Camp

Friday, August 23, 202410 takes

Barstool Summer Camp is coming to a close and we’re all gassed after our aquatics showing Wednesday. We read some headlines in what may be the slowest sports week of the year (-). Mt Rushmore of Orange things and a possible voter tampering issue (-). Will Compton joins the show (sober this time) to finally find out if anyone hates JJ Redick, college football, is this the year for Nebraska and some funny stories from his playing days (-). Sam Morril joins the show in studio to talk comedy, the Knicks, bombing on purpose on morning talk shows and more (-). We finish with Fyre fest of the week (-).

If you are ultra-wealthy and don't own a sports team, you're a weirdo

I'm fully supporting Jeff Bezos buying any team because it goes back to my original, my longtime take that if you're that rich and you don't own a sports team, you're a fucking weirdo.

Subjective opinion on the lifestyle of billionaires.

Texas will win the National Championship

The Texas Longhorns. I like the Texas Longhorns... Texas is back. We might see Arch Manning if Ewers has any issues. But I think that Ewers is still obviously one of the best quarterbacks in college football. And their hardest game is Georgia. They have that at home. And with the expanded playoffs... Texas will also benefit.

The season is ongoing; Texas remains a top contender.

Washington will win the Big 10

Washington Huskies plus 8,000... I'm gonna go with the conference, our local conference. The big 10, little long shot.

Washington has struggled significantly in their first Big 10 season and is eliminated from conference title contention.

Miller Moss will win the Heisman Trophy

I'm gonna go with Miller Moss, USC. They play LSU week one. I think it's actually the Sunday game. So it's gonna be a standalone game if he comes out and balls... I also am high on USC this year simply because they got rid of Alex Grinch, the worst defensive coordinator of all time.

Miller Moss was benched in November 2024 and is not a Heisman candidate.

Nebraska will go 10-2 and compete for a playoff spot

Honestly, man, I think that they could, I think that they could compete this year... I think they could go 10 and two. You gotta think about it when you, if we're going into Ohio State, we're seven and oh... I think Raiola is gonna be a stud. We returned most of the black shirts, top defense last year.

Nebraska lost to Indiana, Ohio State, and UCLA, making 10-2 impossible.

The Chiefs will not win the AFC West and will enter the playoffs as a Wild Card

I think that division's [AFC West] gonna be scrappy, top to bottom... I think they make the playoffs as a wild card. I don't think they win the division. I'm telling you, I think it's just my—why do you hate the Chiefs? I don't hate the Chiefs. No, it feels personal.

The Chiefs are currently undefeated and heavily favored to win the division.

Jalen Brunson is a top 10 player in the NBA

I can't remember loving a player this much... I think it's fair to say he's at, he's in the convo of a top 10 guy in my opinion. He's definitely in my top 10.

Subjective ranking, though Brunson finished top 5 in MVP voting in 2024.

Jayson Tatum has no aura

Boston is an amazing team, but they're just not fun. No. Tatum is not fun. He has no Aura. Tatum is like, once your mom starts being like, this isn't fair. It's like, shut the fuck up dude... No, you don't get greatness from a supportive mom. You need a bit of like, yeah, maybe he should be on the bench.

Aura is an inherently subjective social media concept.

Kobe Bryant is overrated relative to the all-time elite tier

I don't want to say what I think—Kobe's, he's very overrated. Because he is rated so high. Like he gets talked about like LeBron or Michael Jordan. I don't think he's in that spot. He wasn't the best player on the three-peat team... Shaq was an absolute monster.

Subjective all-time ranking debate.

The Eagles fleeced the Commanders in the Jahan Dotson trade

I like Jahan Dotson, a Penn State fan who's a beast at Penn State. Good wide receiver three. Give up a third, get back a fifth. Very happy. Fleeced. Fleeced.

Dotson has been largely unproductive for the Eagles through the first half of the 2024 season.
