I do not want the Cubs to trade Kris Bryant despite ownership claims of being over budget

Kris Bryant is the word. And everyone's, you know, what happens is whether they trade Kris Bryant or not, I do not want them to trade Kris Bryant. But what pisses me off more than anything is fans who are like, well, you got to trade Kris Bryant because we have no money. Don't buy that bullshit.

Kris Bryant was eventually traded to the Giants in 2021, meaning Big Cat's wish was not granted.

The Giants have to play Eli Manning again to let him get back to a .500 record

Now what sucks is now Eli's 116 and 117. You've got to play him again, though. You have to play him again. You've got to give him a shot to get back to 117, 117.

Eli Manning did play one more game after this (against the Dolphins) and won, finishing his career exactly at 117-117.

I would still bet on the Eagles to win the NFC East despite how bad they look

I still would probably take [the Eagles] to win the division, because they have a home game against the Cowboys, and they play the Redskins and they play the Giants. But if you had to ask me right now to put money on it, I think I'd still take the Eagles as bad as they've looked.

The Eagles won out, including beating the Cowboys, and finished 9-7 to win the NFC East.

I support division winners hosting playoff games even with bad records because the unfairness provides entertainment

I like the fact that the Eagles could win the division at 7-9 and host a playoff game simply because we get to sit here and say, that's not fair. I like that it makes no sense. I like that if you win your division, you get a home playoff game, even if you're a terrible team. It just seems like one of those rules I don't want changed.

This is an opinion on a league rule, so it is subjective. The rule remains in place.

The goal allowed by the US goalie was the most embarrassing possible

What about the goalie? Yeah, I mean he... that was the most embarrassing goal that I've ever seen. Possible.

While subjective, the blunder by the US goalkeeper (Freeze/Turner) was widely mocked as a 'MAC football' level mistake.

The USMNT is the 'James Franklin Penn State' of soccer

People were making very mean jokes online that we were James Franklin, Penn State. And it is actually perfectly appropriate because if you look at who we played, we beat the teams we're supposed to beat... and then we absolutely got ass fucked by the team that was better than us in Belgium. We are not who we thought we were.

Subjective comparison.

We just suck at soccer as a country and that's okay

My take is we suck at soccer and that's okay. Like, I don't care that we suck at soccer anymore. I'm going to root for the US team. I'm gonna get excited when we're in a World Cup. I'm gonna get hyped up and it's gonna be fun to watch. And then I'm gonna be reminded that we suck at soccer and that it's just gonna be like, okay, yeah, that's okay.

Subjective perspective on American soccer.
