Purdue is on the doorstep of a Final Four with a clear path through St. Peter's

On paper you have to think you have a Jaden Ivey, who's a lottery pick. You have two guys in Williamson and Edey who were fucking monsters. You'd have to think Purdue 12-point favorites to get to the Elite Eight to be on the doorstep of a Final Four.

This take turned out spectacularly wrong as St. Peter's upset Purdue in the Sweet 16 to become the first 15-seed in the Elite Eight.

Wisconsin's loss to Iowa State wasn't heartbreaking because they were a flawed team

Wisconsin was obviously, I don't think that they were going to win it all this year. They were a flawed team... it's not the most heartbreaking... because I knew I was realistic about this team. I knew they weren't like that crazy talented.

Subjective opinion on his own feelings as a fan.

The NCAA rigged the Duke vs. Michigan State game for Coach K

I think the fix was in. NCAA rigged. I think that Tom Izzo and Coach K... Coach K has three friends, one the sports information director at Duke that keeps all of the bodies buried in the right locations... Jim Boeheim... and Tom Izzo. They're like the Big Three.

While Duke won, there is no evidence of a rigging conspiracy involving Tom Izzo.

I want North Carolina to beat Duke in the Final Four

I want UNC to beat Duke in the Final Four... I'm just rooting for the most hilarious way possible for [Coach K] to get bounced.

This exact scenario happened: UNC beat Duke in the Final Four in Coach K's final game.

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.
