The Mayweather vs. McGregor fight is all risk and no reward for the sport of boxing

If they have a boxing fight, it's basically all risk, no reward for the sport of boxing. Because if McGregor wins, then it's like, okay, MMA fighters are not only better, MMA fighters are better boxers. They could cuck themselves. And if Floyd Mayweather wins, it's like, well, no shit he wins. Boxing's really hard.

The take is subjective, but the fight was massive for both sports financially, though it didn't fundamentally change the perception of boxing's difficulty.

The NBA is now Kevin Durant's league and the torch has been passed from LeBron James

Are you ready for my hot, hot, hot take from Game 1 of the NBA Finals? Hit me. The torch has been passed. It is Kevin Durant's league. Whose man's is the NBA? I said that, yeah. It's Kevin Durant's man's. Passed that off. He said, here you go, KD. It is your league now. Your league.

KD won Finals MVP and the title in 2017, reinforcing the idea that he had reached the summit, though LeBron remained a top player for years.

Matthew Dellavedova is the missing piece the Cavaliers need to stop the Warriors

I mean, clearly, Della Vadova's [Matthew Dellavedova] the missing piece. They need a defensive stopper on the team that can check somebody, and they don't have it.

The Cavs lost the series 4-1; Delly wouldn't have fixed the talent gap with KD added to a 73-win team.

The Cavaliers will win the 2017 NBA Finals in five games

I still think Cavs... Well, you know what? Cavs in five now. How about that? This is one of those things I'm not even trying to go over the top here. I don't know how you can defend the Warriors.

The Warriors won the series 4-1. Big Cat's prediction was hilariously backwards.

France is unstoppable in the 2026 World Cup

When we first got the bracket, I said I was gonna go chalk and just bet on France. They just seem like there's nothing that you can do to stop him. France looks unstoppable.

The 2026 World Cup final is likely still pending or just occurring around the episode date.

The toxicity towards Christian Pulisic proves America is finally a real soccer country

I think with the amount of vitriol that has gone towards Christian Pulisic, we have shown for the first time we might be a real soccer country because that actually, it's nuts how he's gotten bashed by everyone. The fact that it's gotten so toxic towards this one guy, it's like, oh shit. Maybe we could become a country that people cared that much about it.

This is a subjective cultural take on fandom.
