The Mike Tyson vs Roy Jones Jr. exhibition fight is going to suck

The Tyson fight, I can tell you right now, I'm going to spoil it for you. It's gonna suck and we're all going to pay way too much money to watch two old dudes go around the ring and throw jabs at each other.

The fight ended in a split draw and was largely seen as a light sparring session, confirming Big Cat's 'it's going to suck' prediction for anyone expecting a real bout.

Hard Knocks needs the preseason to be good

Here's my theory. Hard Knocks needs the preseason because you watch Hard Knocks on Tuesday nights and then you watch the actual games happen and you see what's happening on the field. You're like, oh, there's that cornerback that we keep hearing about who's trying to make the team. We've lost that element. So now we're just watching like, oh, let's just check in with this training camp. It kind of ruins everything.

The 2020 season of Hard Knocks is widely regarded by fans and critics as one of the dullest due to the lack of preseason games and COVID protocols, supporting the take.

Stadiums built for the World Cup in Brazil and China are starting to fall apart and it's awesome to look at

If anyone out there is like me who loves to look at empty stadium porn, we are in the perfect spot for all the stadiums in Brazil to the World Cup was played in they're starting to fall apart and it's fucking sick to look at. In China right now... it's getting good again. Overgrown with vines. They look like the Astrodome.

The 'abandoned stadiums' aesthetic is a subjective preference, but the fact that these stadiums are falling into disrepair is well-documented.

Tyrod Taylor is destined to be replaced by a rookie for the third time in his career

Tyrod Taylor, the cut god. They brought that up how he got stuck by Josh Allen, then got cooked by Baker Mayfield, and now he's about to get [replaced] a third time. It just happens. People get cooked.

Justin Herbert did indeed replace Tyrod Taylor early in the 2020 season after a team doctor accidentally punctured Tyrod's lung with a painkiller injection.

Kevin Willard's joke about firing his staff was funny and shouldn't have been taken seriously

It was such a clear joke and people, I couldn't believe... There were people who actually thought he was being serious. I thought it was a funny joke. And then we had the people trying to cover for themselves being like, well, even if it was a joke, that's not a joke you make. Imagine if you're an assistant and you hear your boss say that.

Whether a joke is funny or appropriate is subjective.

The lack of Cinderellas in the tournament isn't due to NIL but because big teams are more efficient and physical

Todd Golden had a very good point... part of the reason why there's less upsets is teams are just getting way more efficient in scoring at the rim and becoming almost like raising their floor and becoming upset proof in the fact that you get really big dudes... and absolutely hammer the boards. And when you do that against smaller schools, you're not gonna like, how do big schools lose the small schools is like three point variance.

This is an analytical opinion on sports trends that can't be definitively proven right or wrong.

The Sweet 16 in Houston won't be a home game for the Cougars because Iowa and Nebraska fans travel too well

Illinois, Nebraska and Iowa have some pretty big fan bases that are all gonna wanna travel, especially Nebraska... I don't think it's gonna be like they're gonna take over the place, but I don't think it's gonna be 80% Houston at this game.

The attendance split of the Sweet 16 regional in Houston will determine this.
