A Bruins Stanley Cup Game 7 at home is a once-in-a-lifetime sports event

It's like Game 7 at home Bruins once in a lifetime thing, but I'm not a diehard Bruins fan. But it's your birthday and it's a party.

It's a subjective valuation of a sports event.

The St. Louis Dispatch's leaked 'championship' ad is more embarrassing than the mistake itself

I don't really blame the St. Louis Dispatch because they do have to be prepared. But to get that leaked is the big issue here. I think what happened was they were trying to sell ads... and then somebody took a picture of that email and sent it out.

This is a subjective opinion on which part of a media gaffe is more embarrassing.

Sports fans are forbidden from shaving their beards during a deep playoff run

If you're a sports fan and you're a fan of your hockey team and they're in fucking Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final and you have a beard, you cannot shave it. I don't care if you're superstitious.

The Blues lost Game 6 but won Game 7, so Hamm's shave didn't ultimately curse the team to lose the Cup, though it likely caused the Game 6 loss in Big Cat's mind.

Kevin Durant will play in Game 5 and it will result in absolute chaos

I think [Durant] will play on Monday night. I really do. And it will be chaos. And it's perfect because this is like the Warriors' entire season in a microcosm.

Durant did play in Game 5, which resulted in the chaotic and tragic outcome of his Achilles injury.

Roman Anthony is a defensive liability for the Red Sox because everyone is successfully running on him in left field.

Roman Anthony, world baseball classic hero. But he has been, he's become a meme basically. If he can't, he just can't throw anyone out from left field. Everyone's just running on Roman. Shane tried to tell me he was great last year, but he was playing right field. Now he's playing left field... it's just not good.

Whether a player is a 'liability' is subjective, though defensive stats can provide some evidence over time.

AJ Brown will be traded to the New England Patriots

[AJ Brown is] gone no matter what... New England. [In my] unbiased mind, he's still gone.

AJ Brown was not traded to the Patriots in the immediate aftermath of these rumors.

UConn can't win the championship

I hope UConn can get it done. I don't think they can win it all.

UConn was in the 2026 Final Four. Resolution depends on whether UConn won the championship.
