The Sam Bradford trade was a win for both the Vikings and the Eagles

I was the biggest winner because I said that it was a great trade for the Vikings and a great trade for the Eagles because the Eagles can now start Carson Wentz, who I believed in, and the Vikings now have Sam Bradford as a higher ceiling than whoever they were going to start.

Both teams benefited initially; Wentz had a promising rookie year and the Vikings went 5-0 before collapsing, though both missed the playoffs.

The Chicago Bears are the worst team in the NFL

The Bears are the worst team in the NFL... No, they are. I said that. It was a definitive statement I said.

The Bears finished 3-13, which was the third-worst record in the league. The Cleveland Browns (1-15) and San Francisco 49ers (2-14) were statistically worse.

I'm still holding out hope for the Jaguars to turn their season around

I don't want to say the Jaguars [are the worst team] because I'm still jagging off. I'm still holding out hope for the Jags to turn things around.

The 2016 Jaguars finished with a 3-13 record and fired Gus Bradley, failing to turn the season around.

Sam Bradford will eventually trip over his own sleeves and dislocate his shoulder

[Sam Bradford] is going to trip over his sleeves at some point and dislocate his shoulder, and then that'll be all she wrote.

Bradford actually played 15 games in 2016, his healthiest season in years, though he did suffer a career-altering knee injury the following season.

The goal allowed by the US goalie was the most embarrassing possible

What about the goalie? Yeah, I mean he... that was the most embarrassing goal that I've ever seen. Possible.

While subjective, the blunder by the US goalkeeper (Freeze/Turner) was widely mocked as a 'MAC football' level mistake.

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.

Subjective comparison.

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.

Subjective perspective on American soccer.
