The Commanders have overplayed their hand in trying to get Caleb Williams

I would make the guess right now that the Commanders have already fucked this up because no one has overplayed their hand more than the Commanders have already overplayed their hand. ... You guys have overplayed your hand to the point where it's like obvious that you're lusting for this guy. And that's a bad spot to be in a negotiation three months out.

The Commanders eventually stayed at #2 and selected Jayden Daniels, while the Bears kept #1 to take Caleb Williams. No trade occurred.

Paying extra for a top-tier franchise quarterback is actually an underpayment

I would say that a little, an overpayment [for a top-five quarterback] is actually an underpayment. If you're getting a top five quarterback, or a guy that would evolve into a top five quarterback in the NFL, it is worth it.

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.
