Mike Elko is a great football coach and was the right hire over a 'sexy' name

It's a great reminder though, for Texas A&M who did the Let's get Jimbo Fisher and pay him a hundred million dollars... sometimes in college football, Mike Elko was not the sexy hire. He's just a very good competent, like nuts and bolts football coach... Mike Elko is a fucking great football coach.

A&M went from a disaster to SEC title contention in Elko's first year, supporting this take.

Grabbing Mookie Betts' glove was the best use of $5,000 by a fan of all time

You go to that game and I saw people clowning 'em online saying you spent $5,000 for front row seats just to get kicked out. No, that's, that's maybe the most well spent $5,000 of all time for those guys. Yeah, they're, they're heroes.

Whether it's the 'best' use of money is purely subjective, but the fan certainly became legendary for the incident.

The two Yankees fans who interfered with Mookie Betts are responsible for the Yankees winning Game 4

Those guys sparked the Yankees. Like I believe that those guys are responsible for this win in those bats waking up because basically the, all the Yankee fans sitting in, in Yankee stadium tonight were like, do something. And the Capobianco brothers are like, you know what? We'll do something.

The Yankees did win Game 4, but attributing it to two fans in the first inning is a humorous exaggeration.

The Colts had to bench Anthony Richardson because they were wasting a potential playoff season

The fact that you're so close in all these games, if you're the head coach, if you're Shane Steichen, you have to start [Flacco] because you're wasting what could be a playoff season. And also you also risk losing the locker room when all the other guys are dependent on the quarterback for their salary. They're not getting the ball, the offense isn't moving.

Flacco did start, but the Colts' season continued to fluctuate, eventually resulting in Steichen going back to Richardson.

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.
