This is a 'Mickey Mouse Olympics' because host countries are manipulating tracks to ensure records are broken.

It's a Mickey Mouse Olympics. ... It's basically, and I kind of love this, that every host Olympics wants to break a bunch of records so they just make the track better. ... Every host country is like, how can we make this legal but also break all the records?

The Tokyo Olympic track was indeed engineered with new technology to be significantly faster, leading to several world records, though this doesn't officially make the games 'Mickey Mouse.'

I'm taking the over on the Hall of Fame game's 32.5 point total.

I think the over-under was like 32.5 tonight. Take me over. The Hall of Fame game has changed where it used to be you'd get maybe like a series of the starters. Now we get nothing.

The Steelers beat the Cowboys 16-3, resulting in a total of 19 points, well under the 32.5 mark.

I'm taking the Cowboys to win the Hall of Fame Game because Mike McCarthy wants to set a tone for Hard Knocks.

For that reason, I'm going to take the Cowboys in the game tonight just because I think that McCarthy, he knows that Jerry Jones has his, like, Emperor Palpatine breath breathing down his neck all the time. So he wants to set a tone, and he knows that he's on Hard Knocks.

The Cowboys lost the Hall of Fame game to the Steelers 16-3.

The US men's 4x100 relay team is terrible.

So our four by 100 team sucks. And there were like a lot of people who were like, this is a debacle. How are we so bad at this? ... I really just don't care. Like, I want us to win, but if we don't, I don't lose any sleep over it.

The US men's 4x100 team failed to qualify for the final after a disastrous 6th-place heat finish.

France is unstoppable in the 2026 World Cup

When we first got the bracket, I said I was gonna go chalk and just bet on France. They just seem like there's nothing that you can do to stop him. France looks unstoppable.

The 2026 World Cup final is likely still pending or just occurring around the episode date.

The toxicity towards Christian Pulisic proves America is finally a real soccer country

I think with the amount of vitriol that has gone towards Christian Pulisic, we have shown for the first time we might be a real soccer country because that actually, it's nuts how he's gotten bashed by everyone. The fact that it's gotten so toxic towards this one guy, it's like, oh shit. Maybe we could become a country that people cared that much about it.

This is a subjective cultural take on fandom.
