LeBron James should have leaned into the 'shut up and dribble' line to handle his China controversy

He should have been like, 'I'm going to shut up and dribble' and reverse it on everyone. He did the worst possible outcome.

This is a subjective analysis of PR strategy.

The Baltimore Ravens are my Super Bowl pick

The Baltimore Ravens have been my Super Bowl pick since three weeks ago, I believe.

The Ravens finished 14-2 but were upset by the Titans in the Divisional Round; the Chiefs won the Super Bowl.

The Rams are broken and suffering from a Super Bowl hangover

The Rams definitely, there was a point in that game where they just flat out quit... Their offensive line has been bad. Jared [Goff], obviously, a personal friend... he's got to play better, but the whole team kind of looks a little broken... I think losing the Super Bowl the way they lost it, those kind of things kind of stick with you for a year, and it takes a year to reset it.

The Rams went from 13-3 in 2018 to 9-7 and missed the playoffs in 2019, confirming the 'hangover' narrative.

I'm going to say you know who's not getting enough credit is Mark Ingram. And people are going to start talking more about Mark Ingram as people dig further into the Baltimore Ravens. But Mark Ingram is – he runs with authority.

Ingram was a Pro Bowler that year and crucial to their record-setting rushing attack.

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.
