The Chargers' powder blue uniforms might be "candy ass" and not conducive to winning
I have an unpopular take about them [the Chargers]. I love their uniforms. I do. I don't know if their uniforms are actually conducive to winning though. They might be candy ass. I love them... but I, I remember a study was done a long time ago that showed that teams that had like aggressive color schemes tend to win on average more than teams that didn't.

Justin Jefferson is the best receiver in the NFL and, and I'm confident in saying that what he did in that game, the catches he made, the fourth down catch he made was one of the craziest catches I've ever seen.
The new "Moneyball" is pairing fast wide receivers with quarterbacks who only have 95% arm strength
I think that's what Mike McDaniel learned. He's like, we can absolutely hack the rule book if you just run faster than everyone and then probably maybe get underthrown just a little bit... and then you start working your way back to the ball you get interfered with. I'm just saying... that is the new Moneyball. It's just fast, fast wide receivers with like 95% arm strength quarterbacks.
The Vikings aren't total frauds, but they are "fraudulent adjacent"
I don't believe that the Vikings are complete and total frauds. I think that they're partially frauds. They're fraudulent adjacent. I am worried that they would get to the NFC championship game... because the way the NFC is shaking out, it feels like if the Vikings will get that second seed and whoever is the seven seed is going to be a team that we think about as like, 'ooh, watch out for them.'

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.
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.
