The new head-to-head tiebreaker rules for the World Cup group stage suck

The new rules for how to win a group suck. They basically eliminated these third games meaning anything for half of the groups. It's now the head-to-head is now the tiebreaker. Not total goals... they've eliminated probably, I don't know, six games that just will have no meaning whatsoever.

This is an opinion on the entertainment value of a tournament rule change.

Golf fans should be allowed to cheer for bad shots and ignore decorum

It's good that we have people like preaching some of the finer rules of decorum for golf. Like being happy that somebody that you're rooting against hit a bad shot. I think that's fine and people should be allowed to do it.

This is a subjective opinion on fan behavior.

Golfers should be tough enough to play through fog delays instead of load managing the course

I didn't care for the fog delay on Thursday. I think you gotta play through the fog. You gotta play through. Yeah. We're doing load management for courses now too. You gotta play, you gotta play through a little fog. It's a cloud. Are golfers so soft that they can't play with clouds?

Subjective opinion on course management rules.

I fucking hate the historic locker room at Oakmont

I'm going all the way the other way. I fucking hate this [Oakmont locker room]. Also, if anybody that works at Oakmont knows what they did with the locker panels after the US Open, I would want them. We will hang them as banners.

Subjective opinion on the aesthetic and value of a locker room.

The Chargers' game against the Raiders is a must-win

The Chargers might have the most must-win game of all time playing the Raiders with the schedule they have. If they don't win this week, it's over.

The Chargers' season outcome and whether the loss effectively ended their season had not been resolved at the time of the episode.

Texas won; Ohio State choked

I'll say Texas win, Ryan Day choke. The play calling, I don't know, maybe they got too conservative. I think they probably did.

This is a retrospective interpretation of the game rather than a purely objective claim; assigning primary blame is subjective.

Oregon is probably out if it loses to USC

The USC game will be massive. If Oregon loses that game, they're probably out.

Oregon's playoff status after the USC game was still unresolved at the time of the episode.
