Australia's speed will be dangerous against the United States in the World Cup

They've got two guys front that are both faster than anybody on Paraguay that we played. And then we've got some defenders who might not be the speediest guys necessarily. Speed isn't everything. But it can make a big difference because I think our strategy's gonna be pretty similar, which also would make us susceptible to a good counter attack. Australia might have that.

PFT Commenter predicted that Australia's speed would be dangerous against the United States in the 2026 FIFA World Cup, making the US susceptible to a good counter-attack. However, the United States defeated Australia 2-0 in their Group D match on June 19, 2026. Australia's offensive output, including attempts at goal and shots on target, was lower than the US, indicating their speed and counter-attack were not dangerous enough to secure a positive result.

Jalen Brunson is the current number one player in the NBA

I rank Jalen Brunson one. That's the whole point of winning a championship, is you get to spend an entire off season and saying your guy's number one. The whole point of winning a title is that then the next four months you get to just say, my guy, my best guy is the best guy in the whole league.

The ranking of current NBA players is subjective, though most analysts would still place Nikola Jokic or Giannis Antetokounmpo above Brunson.

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 would not have won the NBA title without Tom Thibodeau

Listen, I know there's people who've been like, oh yeah, Tibs, like Biggest Loser. They don't win this without Tibs. I really believe that. Tibs inherited a godawful Knicks team and franchise and made them winners pretty quickly and made them competent. And then Mike Brown obviously took him over the top, but the guy before the guy I think still has some importance.

The impact of a previous coach's culture is inherently subjective.

Tony Romo will not have the drunk driving charges stick to him

I'm not a lawyer. I am studying for the bar exam, but I do feel like he's probably gonna get off on this. I'd be shocked if the charges stuck to Tony Romo.

Outcome of the Romo legal case is pending.

Every good MLB player will eventually become a Dodger unless proven otherwise

I just feel like any good player will become a Dodger unless we hear otherwise.

The MLB is almost certainly headed for a lockout during the next collective bargaining agreement negotiations

The lockout is probably gonna happen. Nothing's gonna change. I think it's almost a hundred percent that there will be a lockout for at least a period of time.

Will be resolved during the next MLB CBA negotiation period.
