The 2022 Qatar World Cup is one of the worst overall sports tournaments in history

It's really one of the worst overall tournaments of all time ever... we're doing an entire world cup in the middle of the desert where we have to blast air conditioning and do the tournament in the middle of American football.

While subjective, the 2022 World Cup remains highly controversial for the reasons Big Cat stated, though the final was widely praised.

I am a huge LIV Golf fan because the golfers are good and it's free on YouTube

I've been watching the LIV Tour since it started. I will continue to watch it. I'm a huge LIV fan. I'm just like put sports in front of me if they're entertaining and good golfers, I'll probably tune in, especially if it's free on YouTube.

This is a personal preference, though LIV did eventually move off YouTube to the CW, making his 'free on YouTube' point partially incorrect later.

Brooks Koepka joined LIV Golf because he doesn't enjoy the grind of regular PGA events

I wasn't surprised that Brooks [Koepka] is going up. His brother's on the tour. I also think like there hasn't been anyone who shocked me... Brooks has battled some knee injuries. He doesn't love playing a regular PGA events all the time... He shows up for the majors.

This aligns with Koepka's own later admissions in 'Full Swing' about his health struggles and the appeal of the LIV schedule.

The Lightning are perfectly set up to win the Stanley Cup if they win Game 4

The Lightning are set up so perfectly where they've done this now a few times in these playoffs where they start slow in a series. And so if they win game four, you're just going to be like, well, here it goes. It's happening again.

The Lightning lost Game 4 in overtime to the Avalanche and eventually lost the series 4-2.

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.
