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.

I would rather have a set of guys I hate in golf than root for whoever wins

I would rather have a set of guys that I root for and a set of guys I hate than be like, I'm just rooting for whoever wins. And then when they win, I say, what a great story. Rory deserved it.

This is a subjective philosophy on how to enjoy sports.

Rory McIlroy will go on a hot streak and get to 10 majors now that the monkey is off his back

I actually think Rory might go on a hot streak. Yeah. Because like, that was, that did feel like the monkey off your back Steve young moment... Rory might just rip off, you know, he might get to 10 majors.

Rory McIlroy currently has 4 majors (according to the simulation/transcript context of 2025). This will be testable as his career continues.

Scottie Scheffler is just a Masters merchant

He's also gonna be the new narrative guy. He might just be a masters merchant. He's got, he's got a win in major that's not the masters.

Scheffler has won two Masters but also won the 2024 (and 2025 in this timeline) period. Wait, in reality, Scheffler has won only Masters. This take is factually interesting.

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.

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.
