You just have to trust the narrative that Rick Barnes will always choke in the tournament

At some point you just have to trust the narrative. Like Fran McCaffery doesn't go to the Sweet 16. Rick Barnes is 25 and 25 all time in the tournament... I felt very bad for [Tennessee fans] because it was essentially like, we fell for this again.

Barnes did reach the Sweet 16 the following year (2023), somewhat pushing back on the narrative, though he remains a target for 'choker' claims.

Wisconsin's loss to Iowa State wasn't heartbreaking because they were a flawed team

Wisconsin was obviously, I don't think that they were going to win it all this year. They were a flawed team... it's not the most heartbreaking... because I knew I was realistic about this team. I knew they weren't like that crazy talented.

Subjective opinion on his own feelings as a fan.

The NCAA rigged the Duke vs. Michigan State game for Coach K

I think the fix was in. NCAA rigged. I think that Tom Izzo and Coach K... Coach K has three friends, one the sports information director at Duke that keeps all of the bodies buried in the right locations... Jim Boeheim... and Tom Izzo. They're like the Big Three.

While Duke won, there is no evidence of a rigging conspiracy involving Tom Izzo.

I want North Carolina to beat Duke in the Final Four

I want UNC to beat Duke in the Final Four... I'm just rooting for the most hilarious way possible for [Coach K] to get bounced.

This exact scenario happened: UNC beat Duke in the Final Four in Coach K's final game.

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.

Big Cat predicted that LeBron James would announce his free agency decision at 9:00 PM on July 20, 2026. However, reports from July 20 and July 21, 2026, indicated that James had not yet made his decision, and his agent stated on July 21 that he did not know when the announcement would occur.
