I am a born loser and will never be good at anything.

Listen, I'm a born loser. I'll never be any good. Yeah. Just a born loser. Listen, gambling, anything. I'm a, I'm a born loser.

Brooks Koepka is one of the most successful golfers of his generation, making this literal statement definitively incorrect.

LeBron James will announce his free agency decision today

Today could be the day. We got a lot of hours left in this day. But I hear that around the league. They're saying like, pretty strong. Today's the day LeBron James makes a decision.

The decision was not actually announced on the day of the Takies; he waited longer.

I expect LeBron James to wait until at least the weekend to make his decision

I still think he's gonna wait until at least the weekend. There was that thing on YouTube where the Miami Heat said they had a placeholder for a news conference... announcing LeBron James for next Monday.

LeBron did indeed wait through the weekend.

Anthony Kim is the comeback story of the year in all of sports

Anthony Kim... probably comeback story of the Year overall in all of sports. Coming back, quit golf, went to rehab, conquered his demons. Came back, won on the LIV tour.

Subjective ranking of 'comeback story' status, but based on real-world events in the 2026 timeline.

I am likely the only professional golfer who doesn't use a yardage book

I think I'm probably the only, to my knowledge, the only tour player that doesn't. I just found myself, I would look at, I'd look up from like 150 yards and look down in the book and I'm like, this pin looks like it's in the bunker... and it just like gave me all these thoughts. Who cares? Just make it more reactive.

Brooks is confirming his own practice, which is a verified fact of his game.

If I win the Open Championship this weekend, I will officially take the Blake of the Year title from Blake Griffin

I'm not dead. I've never wanted to win a golf tournament so bad. [The deal is] if I win the Open Championship this weekend, I officially get [Blake Griffin's] Blake of the Year title this year. Verbatim. That's what it'll be.

Brooks Koepka did not win the 2025 Open Championship at Royal Portrush. He missed the cut after Round 2. Scottie Scheffler won the tournament at -17, four shots clear of the field.

Playing golf in shorts is at least a two-stroke advantage per round

It's so much nicer [to wear shorts]... I'd say at least two [strokes]. Really. Yeah.

While logically comfort improves performance, there is no scientific data to quantify that wearing shorts specifically saves exactly two strokes.
