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.

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 Dodgers won the 2025 World Series (beating the Blue Jays in 7 games), but they did not win 125 games. Their regular season record was around 100 wins, and they beat the Blue Jays, not the Rangers.

Rory McIlroy's Masters win was primarily 100% relief

It was almost all relief. And the thing that Andy North described to me... you feel so much more relief than joy... it was so obvious that sure there's joy in there... but clearly it was like, just thank God I did it.

Rory himself later admitted it was a burden, supporting this view.

Now that he's won the Masters, Rory McIlroy could stack three or four more majors

This is the damn burst that now frees them up to be truly like, fuck it. I'm gonna go do like... he's got a ton of runway in front of him. He could stack three or four more of these.

This will be proven over the next several years of golf majors.

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.

Florida defeated Maryland and advanced to the Final Four. Walter Clayton Jr. was healthy and named the tournament's Most Outstanding Player, leading Florida to the national championship.
