The Chargers are going to force-feed Ladd McConkey targets this season.

Draft [Ladd McConkey]. Someone has to catch the ball. Joshua Palmer obviously is gonna be the receiver one, but we've learned that Quentin Johnston can't catch. Ladd McConkey is gonna, they're gonna force-feed Ladd McConkey.

Ladd McConkey was indeed force-fed targets with the Chargers. He set franchise rookie records with 82 receptions and 1,149 receiving yards plus 7 TDs, becoming the team's clear #1 receiver and one of the most productive rookie WRs in NFL history.

Allowing private equity investment in NFL teams will make the league 10% worse.

The NFL is considering approving private equity investment in teams... It means it's gonna suck. The league is gonna get 10% worse because private equity, they're gonna come in and they're just gonna try to figure out how to streamline everything. They're gonna fire all the mascots.

The NFL did eventually approve private equity investment in late August 2024, but the qualitative impact on the 'suckiness' of the league is subjective.

The Chiefs are guaranteed to win the Super Bowl now that they have cut Kadarius Toney.

Kadarius Toney has been cut. Oh no. Yeah. So the Chiefs just became Super Bowl champs. This is also very bad news for anybody that's playing against the Chiefs because Kadarius Toney was one of your better players if you were playing against the Chiefs last year. Just by him no longer being on the Chiefs, what was his WAR? It was probably like minus two last year.

PFT Commenter joked that cutting Kadarius Toney guaranteed the Chiefs a Super Bowl win. While clearly sarcastic, the take is resolvable: the Chiefs lost Super Bowl 59 to the Eagles 40-22.

The Chiefs will never win three Super Bowls in a row

Three in a row is really fucking hard to do... kind of the way you could also talk about it is there's 0% chance because it's never happened before. And if you know anything about gambling or life, if something's never happened, it will never happen.

The Chiefs did NOT win three Super Bowls in a row. They lost Super Bowl LIX to the Eagles 22-40. Big Cat was correct that three-peating was essentially impossible.

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.
