Sam Bradford is finally on a team that will put him in a position to succeed

Sam Bradford, for the first time in his career, is going to be surrounded by players and on a team that puts him in a position to succeed. You cannot underrate that. Listen, this is what we do when they trade trash players. You say, well, he's on a good team now. He's got a good defense, so he's going to have to do less.

Bradford had a career year statistically in 2016 with a 71.6% completion percentage, but the Vikings finished 8-8 and missed the playoffs.

Marlins Man belongs in the Hall of Fame asterisk wing

Do you think Marlins Man has a chance of making the Hall of Fame? I think that he's got to be in the conversation. Put him in the asterisk wing.

He is not in the Hall of Fame.

Trading Sam Bradford for a first and fourth-round pick was a great deal for the Eagles

The Eagles, great trade for them. Any Eagles fan that's upset by this, I really don't know what to tell you. You just traded Sam Bradford. You weren't going to go to the playoffs, and you got a first and a fourth round.

Widely considered a massive win for the Eagles; they drafted Derek Barnett with that pick and won the Super Bowl a year later.

Sam Bradford is a 'bunk credit score loan' that keeps getting repackaged despite being bad

Sam Bradford is basically like one of these bunk credit score loans that get repackaged and repackaged and repackaged and sold for normal money... Sam Bradford has sucked, will always suck, and will continue to suck. And for some reason, he just gets more and more valuable with age.

Subjective opinion on skill, though Bradford did continue to command high salaries/trade value for several more years.

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.
