The 2022 Winter Olympics are failing because the NHL players aren't participating

The Olympics are a fucking fact that hockey, like the pros don't play. That's what draws everyone in. Like if team USA was playing Russia tomorrow morning, we would wake up and watch it. We'd wake up and watch it.

The 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics were the lowest-rated ever in the U.S. While many factors contributed, the absence of NHL stars in the hockey tournament was widely cited as a major loss for the Games' marquee event.

The Rams have a better roster in almost every spot, but Joe Burrow is good enough to win Super Bowl LVI

The Rams are probably better in pretty much every spot but Joe Burrow. And then I say, but Joe Burrow's worth the win. And that's where I'm like the Rams feel like if you did it on paper and you just did a guy off, like, all right, the Rams are easily better, but Joe burrow is Joe burrow.

The Rams defeated the Bengals 23-20 in Super Bowl LVI. Burrow was unable to overcome the Rams' superior defensive front.

Seeing Matthew Stafford succeed is a slap in the face to the Lions organization

Everything that they, when they say something nice about Matthew Stafford, it's such a slap in the face to the Lions. And I know that like, look, bad organizations are bad organizations... but they're like, yeah, Matthew Stafford, this is moment. He was spent so many years just on that terrible team with that terrible organization. Yes. It's like, he got out of hell. It's like, he's the first man to ever escape the devil.

Stafford won the Super Bowl in his first year away from Detroit, confirming the premise that the organization was the primary hurdle.

The Brewers' pressure created their 'lucky' breaks

That's not luck. That's just the Brewers and what they did to you mentally, where it's like you have to be perfect and almost made teams just become a worse version of themselves because of what the Brewers were doing to them.

This is an evaluative baseball argument rather than a claim with one definitive result.

The Bears are building around Jeffrey Simmons correctly

Jeffrey Simmons is an absolute game wrecker. Top three at his position, changes everyone around him. The Bears had a weakness in their defense, especially run defense. They made it a strength.

The assessment of Simmons' impact and positional ranking is partly subjective and will depend on his Chicago performance.
