Duke is the best team in the country and it would be an all-time failure if they don't win the title

This is the best team in the country. It would be an all time epic failure if Duke doesn't win the national title. They are the first time I believe that a team has reached plus 40 in Ken Palm since 1999. Duke... This team has it all.

Duke was #1 overall seed and blew a 19-point halftime lead to lose 73-72 to UConn in Elite Eight. It was an all-time failure — Duke was 134-0 when leading by 15+ at half in tournament history.

If Duke loses this year, they will be a dynasty of chokers

If they lose this year, that would without question be the best two year... they'd be a dynasty of chokers. Like back to back all time choking losses in the NCAA tournament. I hope that doesn't happen, PFT. We would've never seen anything close to this before.

Duke blew a 19-point halftime lead in 2026 Elite Eight to UConn, one year after a 2025 Final Four collapse. Two consecutive years as top team with epic collapses validates 'dynasty of chokers.'

Duke not winning the national title would be the most consequential sports story of all time

I think it would be the biggest sports story of all time. If Duke did not win the national title this year. All time. I think all time story... Duke not winning at all this year would be the biggest, the most consequential sports story of all time. Not our lifetimes of all time.

Duke's Elite Eight collapse was a massive story but calling it 'the most consequential sports story of all time' is hyperbolic by nature. Subjective claim.

I'm picking Purdue or Nebraska to win the national title

I think that Purdue, no one's talking about Purdue. They've been hovering around the top. Every time they, they, they start to be discussed in the media. It feels like they lose their next game. I'm gonna say Purdue, my money's on Purdue or Nebraska this year.

Neither Purdue nor Nebraska won the title. Purdue lost in Elite Eight, Nebraska in Sweet 16. Michigan won.

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.
