Kyler Murray is making the right choice by choosing the NFL over MLB

Kyler Murray making the right choice, playing a real man's sport... This is the right choice, wouldn't you say?... even 32, Lamar Jackson got $7 million guaranteed last year... Kyler Murray, if he goes to Major League Baseball, he's already behind the clock... basically betting, like, the money would be better right now for the NFL. It's guaranteed in the first round.

Murray chose the NFL, was drafted #1 overall, and signed a $35M guaranteed contract, far exceeding his A's signing bonus. He has since signed a much larger second contract.

The Chiefs don't get enough credit for being hilariously bad in the playoffs

The Chiefs don't get enough credit for being hilariously bad in the playoffs... 1-11 in their last 12 playoff games. That is so, so bad. And I actually feel bad for Kansas City fans because it's one of those stats that I didn't even believe when I saw.

The Chiefs had a notorious playoff losing streak prior to Patrick Mahomes' era; however, they won this specific game against the Colts to break the streak.

The Chiefs are actually 1-3 in their last six games if you exclude their wins against the Raiders.

The Chiefs are 1-3 in their last six games if you only count real teams, not the Raiders. Besides that [beating the Raiders twice], they're 1-3 in their last six. So I'm saying it doesn't look good.

If you look at the Chiefs' last six games prior to the divisional round (vs Rams, Raiders, Ravens, Chargers, Seahawks, Raiders), and remove the two Raiders wins, they were indeed 1-3.

Patrick Mahomes will likely lose his first career playoff game because first-time quarterbacks are 13-30 in the postseason since 2002.

First time quarterbacks straight up in the playoffs since 2002, 13 and 30. All three lost last weekend: Lamar Jackson, Mitch Trubisky and Deshaun Watson. So will Patrick Mahomes... I'm excited to watch him play, but it feels like, oh, my God. You can't just keep having heartbreak in Kansas City, can you?

Mahomes defied the trend, leading the Chiefs to a 31-13 victory over the Colts in his first playoff start.

France is unstoppable in the 2026 World Cup

When we first got the bracket, I said I was gonna go chalk and just bet on France. They just seem like there's nothing that you can do to stop him. France looks unstoppable.

The 2026 World Cup final is likely still pending or just occurring around the episode date.

The toxicity towards Christian Pulisic proves America is finally a real soccer country

I think with the amount of vitriol that has gone towards Christian Pulisic, we have shown for the first time we might be a real soccer country because that actually, it's nuts how he's gotten bashed by everyone. The fact that it's gotten so toxic towards this one guy, it's like, oh shit. Maybe we could become a country that people cared that much about it.

This is a subjective cultural take on fandom.
