This has to be Al Michaels' last year

I do think this has to be Al Michaels' last year. Next year has to be. I would appreciate if Al Michaels would do a retirement tour. If he was like, this is it, I would not complain about him at all because he is a legend of the game.

Whether Al Michaels retires is pending.

The 2026 Steelers are exactly the same team we've seen since 2018

They are the exact same Steelers team that we've seen since 2018 every single year. ... The Steelers were doing exactly what they've done all year, and almost in a position to potentially steal this game. Except the Texans defense is just so good.

The Steelers lost to the Texans 30-6 in the Wild Card round, continuing a streak of one-and-done playoff appearances since 2016.

The Texans are the AFC version of the Seahawks

The [Texans] are essentially the AFC Seahawks, in my opinion, where their defense is elite. And you essentially have to get to the point where you're like, can you see CJ Stroud or Sam Darnold playing a clean enough game that they can get all the way to the Super Bowl?

This is a subjective comparison between team styles.

CJ Stroud is the most 'susceptible to ass' quarterback remaining in the playoffs

I do think that CJ Stroud is, he's not his ass as he played last night, but he does. He's susceptible to ass. ... For quarterbacks that remain in the playoffs, I feel like he, just off the top of my head, he might have the highest probability of ass.

Subjective assessment of a player's consistency and floor.

Spain is entering a period of absolute soccer dominance and will win the next Euro.

They won the Euro two years ago. They won the World Cup. They're probably gonna win the Euro in two years. They're just different generation dominating soccer.

Euro 2028 has not happened yet.

Goals scored in the World Cup third-place game should not count toward the Golden Boot.

I also had one bone to pick. The third place game, which is hilarious that they still do this... The fact that those goals count for the Golden Boot is such bullshit. That's stupid. That should not count. Like that's not a real game.

This is a subjective opinion about tournament rules.

LeBron James will announce his free agency decision tonight.

I'm fully expecting him to announce at 9:00 PM tonight. Yep. Like shit like that where it's like, I went to a movie on Thursday night. I was like, oh, LeBron's gonna fucking announce during the movie. He's, he's now fucking us... I think that's what's gonna happen. I think he's gonna decide tonight.

Depends on exactly when LeBron actually announced his decision following this episode.
