Watching sports all weekend on the couch is as physically and mentally taxing as completing an Ironman

I would put up a guy sitting on a couch and watching an entire slate of college football on Saturday and an entire slate of NFL football on Sunday... I would put that up there with the Iron Man. I really would. Obviously not physically as taxing, but mentally far more taxing.

This is a humorous hyperbolic comparison that is not intended to be factually accurate.

The Suns are in a 'must-win' situation in Game 2 despite leading the series 1-0

In a series that is a seven-game series and the Suns are up 1-0... it felt like a must-win for the Suns. I think that the Suns needed to win this game, and it feels like history is repeating itself [with LeBron].

The Suns lost Game 2 but still went on to win the series 4-2, meaning it was not a 'must-win' as they overcame the loss.

The Lakers are unbeatable if Anthony Davis is making his three-pointers

Anthony Davis, if he doesn't make all those three-pointers, it's a much different game. You can't beat the Lakers if Anthony Davis is wet from three.

Davis shot just 18% from three in the series and the Lakers were eliminated in the first round.

LeBron James intentionally lets opponents win Game 1 in early playoff rounds to give them false confidence

If it's in the first or second round, [LeBron] is like, I'm going to let them get a little confidence, maybe run their way out of the series tonight. Let them try too hard in Game 1.

While LeBron has lost many Game 1s and won the series, attributing it to a deliberate psychological tactic is an unprovable opinion.

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.
