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.

Barry Bonds could still play in the MLB and take a million walks because of fear

I think of that with Barry Bonds for sure. Barry Bonds I like He could just, he, he could show up and just be awesome and, and take like a million walks. 'cause people would fear him.

This is a hypothetical claim about a retired player's current ability, which is fundamentally subjective.

American air conditioning is the equivalent of 'Hunter Biden crack' for European visitors

I would imagine air conditioning for Europeans hits like crack. Like the best crack of all. Oh, hunter Biden crack. Yeah. That's like when we go over to, to Spain and we see a nude beach. Like that's, that, that feeling that we get over there is their feeling when they're walking into one of our buildings over here.

Inherently subjective and hyperbolic comparison.

Norway throwing a parade for a World Cup loss is 'loser energy'

Norway is, but I think it was more just people being like, oh, this is, this is what's wrong with players today... this all falls apart when you see the, the parade that they threw for the players in Norway. Right. Which is, I I see it as loser energy just because it's like you're basically saying this is the best it will ever get.

The evaluation of 'loser energy' is a matter of opinion.
