The Steelers aren't in a bad position as a franchise despite Big Ben's retirement

If you look at the entire NFL, the Steelers are not in a bad, like, no, it wasn't Big Ben with it. His last ride was with all his guys... they have pieces on offense. They just need a quarterback and an offensive line.

Since Big Ben retired, the Steelers have remained competitive but have struggled significantly at the quarterback position (Pickett, Trubisky), largely proving the 'just need a QB' part right but also highlighting how hard that is to find.

The Eagles drafting Jalen Reagor before Justin Jefferson was a mistake and Reagor is a bust

Beer before liquor, you'll never be sicker; Jalen [Reagor] before Justin [Jefferson], you just drafted a busted.

Justin Jefferson became one of the best receivers in the NFL immediately, while Reagor struggled and was eventually traded away by the Eagles after just two seasons.

The NFL should keep the seventh playoff seed

To the people that are saying we should not have a seventh playoff seed: you're wrong. Fuck you. If we didn't have that last week, these matchups would have been better... speak as a team that's like, that's our ceiling really is this 7th seed. Just like you and the Bears last year, right? Like just getting to the playoffs, that's absolutely worth having that extra seat in there.

The 7th seed has remained in the NFL since this take, and in 2024, the 7th seed (Packers) defeated the 2nd seed (Cowboys).

A seven-seed will eventually beat a two-seed in the NFL playoffs

Dummies, like you're just playing the results. One year a seven seed will get hot and they'll win. They'll beat the two seed and everyone will look like an idiot.

In the 2023-24 playoffs, the #7 Green Bay Packers defeated the #2 Dallas Cowboys 48-32.

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.
