Duke is back to being the worst and perfectly hateable again

Duke is back to being the worst because goddammit, those guys are so hateable and they're right back to where they were. I was nervous... but just that scene choking on senior night against UNC. Those stupid fucking Cameron Crazies that pretend that they're the coolest, best fan base in the world... throwing shit at college players.

Duke's identity as a 'villain' in college basketball is subjective, but their 2024 season did involve several controversies (court storming, tripping) that fueled this narrative.

College basketball is better when Duke is the villain

College basketball is better when Duke is the villains. So I'm happy for the tournament. I'm excited. Shut everyone up.

This is a long-standing debate in sports media about whether 'villains' drive better ratings and engagement.

John Calipari might have a job at Kentucky for life

I think actually Cal is getting ready to... we have it wrong with the hot seat. His team's playing so well and Kentucky's so exciting. He might get like, can you get a job for the afterlife too? Because he has a job for life.

Calipari eventually left Kentucky for Arkansas in April 2024, proving he did not have the job 'for life.'

Tennessee's Dalton Knecht is great offensively but might get shoved around on defense

Dalton Knecht is fucking awesome. So fun to watch. But I'm beginning to think that I might be right about him. He might be able to get, he might be able to get shoved around, especially on defense. He doesn't play a lot of defense. They don't really ask him to play defense either. They just say, go stand out there and try to get in the way of somebody driving at the basket.

Knecht went on to be a first-round NBA pick and while his defense remains a talking point, he has shown ability to hold his own physically in the NBA early on.

Spain is entering a period of absolute soccer dominance and will win the next Euro.

They won the Euro two years ago. They won the World Cup. They're probably gonna win the Euro in two years. They're just different generation dominating soccer.

Euro 2028 has not happened yet.

Goals scored in the World Cup third-place game should not count toward the Golden Boot.

I also had one bone to pick. The third place game, which is hilarious that they still do this... The fact that those goals count for the Golden Boot is such bullshit. That's stupid. That should not count. Like that's not a real game.

This is a subjective opinion about tournament rules.

LeBron James will announce his free agency decision tonight.

I'm fully expecting him to announce at 9:00 PM tonight. Yep. Like shit like that where it's like, I went to a movie on Thursday night. I was like, oh, LeBron's gonna fucking announce during the movie. He's, he's now fucking us... I think that's what's gonna happen. I think he's gonna decide tonight.

Big Cat predicted that LeBron James would announce his free agency decision at 9:00 PM on July 20, 2026. However, reports from July 20 and July 21, 2026, indicated that James had not yet made his decision, and his agent stated on July 21 that he did not know when the announcement would occur.
