Joel Embiid is still a top three player on Team USA

He's still the top three player on this team. Steve Kerr has said that himself. Sometimes there's matchup things and guys who don't know Ball are going to try and criticize Joelle Embiid... he's gonna drop 30 against Puerto Rico.

Embiid did not drop 30 against Puerto Rico (he had 15 points), and most analysts would place LeBron, Steph, and KD above him in performance during the games.

It is unpatriotic to take the under on the NFL Hall of Fame game

So great to hear the music. So great to bet the over, which I'm probably gonna lose, but I'm gonna take it anyways because it's unpatriotic to take the under on the Hall of Fame game.

The 2024 Hall of Fame game (Bears vs. Texans) was called off early due to rain with the score at 21-17. Depending on the line (usually mid-30s), the over likely hit or was a push, but the sentiment remains subjective.

Roger Goodell's push for guardian caps is a calculated move to blame players for safety issues later when the league pushes for a 19-game season

I think Roger Goodell was like, tell you what, in the effort of player safety, I will allow you to wear a giant helmet that makes you look like a clown. And no one's gonna do it. And then Roger Goodell could be like, oh, I gave them the option of wearing the big red clown nose on their face. But they chose not to do it. I guess they don't care about player safety. Let's do 19 games.

The league has continued to push for an expanded schedule while emphasizing player choice in safety gear, making this a plausible though cynical interpretation of corporate strategy.

Jordan Love deserves every dollar of the massive contract extension he received from the Packers

Jordan Love got paid and he made a lot of money and Tua got paid. He made a lot of money... [Jordan Love] deserves every dollar that he got.

Love's performance throughout the life of the contract will determine its value, but at the time of signing, he became one of the highest-paid players ever.

Winning games is better than tanking without a quarterback need

Unless you need a quarterback and there's a quarterback that you're going for in the next draft, it's better to win games for the future of the franchise. It's better to build a winning culture for the guys that will be there for the years to come, rather than going 0-16 and getting the first pick instead of the eighth pick.

Whether winning culture is more valuable than draft position is an evaluative team-building question.

The Eagles' defense gave up before the season ended

They gave up on the season before that game started last night, and they had zero interest of playing football.

This is an interpretation of effort and intent rather than a claim with a definitive objective resolution.

The Brewers will win the World Series in five games

I think Brewers with five.

The number of games in the 2026 World Series will resolve this prediction.
