Most of the World Cup fandom in the Barstool office is entirely fake and performative.

The amount of fake soccer fans that are coming outta the woodwork in this office. Like, I walked into a game... we have TVs in the gambling cave. Four of 'em were on one soccer game. They didn't even have the US Open on that. [...] To act like every game of the World Cup is let's sit down and lock in on these games, it's performative. There's a lot of performative soccer fandom going on. And I'm just not doing it.

Subjective observation of his coworkers' behavior.

Jalen Brunson walking down Broadway with the Larry O'Brien trophy is the coolest anyone has ever looked.

Jalen Brunson had a great quote and... he was just walking, I think it was down Broadway with the Larry O'Brien trophy. Literally the king of New York. Probably the coolest moment that or the coolest anyone's ever looked, just walking, being like, this is all mine.

Subjective opinion on coolness.

The New York Knicks championship feels like the biggest one in recent NBA history because of how long the city has waited.

I have seen some New York Knicks fans saying that this championship for them feels like three or four for another franchise just because of how much it means to the city and how long they've waited for it. [...] It definitely feels like more, it feels like the biggest one outta that run where we've got like a new champion every year.

Subjective feeling about championship weight.

Trae Young will re-sign with the Wizards on a team-friendly deal to help build a championship roster.

I'm pretty sure Trae Young is gonna leave technically in free agency. He's gonna become a free agent then he is gonna sign like a three-year deal for a lower average annual value than 48.97. So he wants to stick around and maybe, listen, we just saw what the New York Knicks did with Jalen Brunson taking a pay cut.

Needs to be seen if Trae Young actually re-signs with Washington on a cheaper deal.

I would not trade Jayson Tatum or Jaylen Brown for Giannis Antetokounmpo

[Big Cat: Do you want Giannis, answer the question, yes or no?] No. We won a championship with Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum. Why would we give that up?

Inherently subjective team-building opinion.

The Knicks vs. Spurs NBA Finals series is officially over

The series is over like, it, it, it's over. There's, they're like you said PFT, there's no way that the Spurs have what it takes to close three more games... It's only a matter of time.

The Knicks are up 3-1. While likely, the series hasn't technically concluded yet.
