The US needs a federal jobs program for COVID-19 tracking and testing

OpinionPoliticsMedium
The US did not implement a large-scale federal jobs program specifically for tracing, though local governments did expand these efforts.

My ping pong victory over PFT Commenter is like the Bulls finally beating the Pistons

It's like MJ [Michael Jordan] versus the Pistons, except in this situation, no one got to saw the Pistons beat the Bulls.

OpinionLifeMildSubjective
The Pistons did beat the Bulls for several years (the 'Jordan Rules' era) before Jordan finally broke through in 1991. It's a subjective sports analogy.

The NFL will never allow hot mics on players because coaches are too paranoid

Do you think the NFL is going to let players have a hot mic? It's not the XFL. Do you think Bill Belichick's going to let his team have a hot mic? The NFL is full of coaches that are the most paranoid people in the world. Do you think they're going to be willingly allowing all of their schemes and everything to be just said out loud? No way!

OpinionFootballMedium
Coaches remain extremely guarded about on-field audio to prevent teams from stealing signals or cadences, which supports Big Cat's view.

NBA players are happier today than they were 20 years ago because of mental health awareness

I think they're happier because... they're also more mental health aware. You know, they're not just like, oh, don't be a pussy. Right? It's like, get yourself some help. Right? I'm with you, bro. Let me show you some love.

The Dallas Mavericks are officially contenders to win a championship this year

Are we officially contenders? For sure. I mean, you know, it takes time to adjust to a new coach. We're 18 and six over the last 24 games. Our defense is top three and our offense is top 10. If you're a top 10 offense and a top five defense, you have a chance to compete for a title.

PredictionBasketballMedium
The Mavericks reached the Western Conference Finals in 2022, placing them in the final four teams and validating their status as title contenders.
