US vs Mexico is no longer a soccer rivalry because the US wins every time

I would actually go as far as to say that it's not even a rivalry. A rivalry implies that both teams win occasionally. And if you look back at the history of our last two League of Nations Golden Cups, it's just basically us showing up out there.

While the US did have a great run (the 'Dos a Cero' era continued), Mexico won matches later, and rivalries are based on more than just a 1-2 year window. In 2021, the US definitely had the upper hand.

Cowboys fans should be freaking out about Dak Prescott needing a second MRI

But QB Dak Prescott is planning on getting another MRI... if you're a Cowboys fan, you have to be freaking out right now.

While Dak did miss the preseason and some time later in the season (calf), he started 16 games in 2021. The 'freak out' over this specific shoulder MRI proved to be slightly overblown as he played Week 1.

Dak Prescott should have teammates tackle him in practice to stop overthinking his injury

If I'm Dak... even if my shoulder is still not good to go right now, I would still have people do, like, tackling drills against me in practice where I would get hit because you've got to get that first hit out of your system to stop thinking about it all the time. I would just have people, like, tackle me into a big mat so I didn't hurt my shoulder falling on it.

Dak Prescott did not do this. He returned to play in Week 1 against the Bucs and threw for 403 yards, showing the 'psychological' hurdle was handled through traditional rehab.

Preseason football performance is like 'Play-Doh' that fans can mold to fit whatever narrative they want to believe about their team

Preseason really is just, it's like a Play-Doh that you can just mold to however you want to feel about your team going into the regular season. You can twist what you're watching in a preseason game to fit however you want. If Justin Fields comes out and he's awesome, I'd be like, well, this is incredible. If he stinks, I'd be like, well, COVID, preseason.

This is an observation about fan behavior and the nature of preseason football, which is inherently subjective.

The St. John's vs. Northern Iowa first-round matchup will be ugly as shit

You and I, they will suck the life of out of you. They've got the second best defense in the entire tournament. They, they are just kind of a pain in the ass to watch snails pace. This game feels like it's gonna be ugly as shit.

Pending the outcome of the game and whether it is high or low scoring.

Miami of Ohio can beat SMU in their play-in game

I actually think that, I don't know, I think they can beat SMU. I think that if there's one team that they could be an at large, I feel like they could beat... it feels like that's one, that's a winnable game.

The outcome of this fictional 2026 matchup is unknown.
