Brad Stevens is on the hot seat in Boston if he can't beat LeBron James

Brad Stevens is also on the hot seat in Boston. If you can't find a way to beat LeBron, I think you've got to fire him.

Brad Stevens was never fired; he eventually moved from head coach to President of Basketball Operations for the Celtics. He never beat LeBron in a playoff series during LeBron's second Cavs stint.

Serena Williams could beat Roger Federer

I'm going to say it. I think Serena could beat Roger Federer. Ooh, okay. I'm actually going to be the first person to say that, so come at me.

Serena Williams is widely considered the greatest female player ever, but she has stated herself she would struggle against top-tier men's players like Federer.

NBA Commissioner Adam Silver will appear in a blockbuster movie as himself within the year

The only thing Silver hasn't done yet, I don't think, I can't recall him appearing in a movie as himself, like a big blockbuster movie, but I guarantee within the next year he's going to do it.

Adam Silver did not appear in a blockbuster movie as himself in the 2017-2018 window. He finally had a cameo in the movie 'Hustle', but that wasn't until 2022.

Chick-fil-A would sell 16% more chicken if they opened on Sundays

I've actually got a foolproof idea for how you guys can sell at least 16% more chicken. ... Open your [restaurants] on Sundays. That's the only day of the week that I want to eat Chick-fil-A is when I'm hungover on Sunday and it's always closed.

While mathematically adding a 7th day would increase sales (roughly 14.3%), Chick-fil-A's per-unit productivity on its 6 open days often outpaces competitors, making the 'loss' of a 7th day complex to calculate. However, they remain closed on Sundays.

The 4-1 loss to Belgium was the worst USMNT performance in years

That was the worst performance from the US that I've seen in years. Just completely lackluster from the start. So much blame to go around. Tim Ream, friend of the program, good guy over the hill, turned into soccer Shawn Bradley before our very eyes got dunked on twice.

Subjective opinion on the quality of the performance.

Christian Pulisic was a 'no-show' and looked like he didn't care against Belgium

Christian Pulisic, the long anointed Captain America future face of this league for American soccer. Absolute no show of a game, I would say worse than a no show of a game. And then he checks himself out. Just looks lackluster, looks like he doesn't care at all. Had the most turnovers on the field of anybody. That played just really, really, really bad.

Subjective evaluation of Pulisic's effort and performance.

The US will never close the skill gap compared to the rest of the world in soccer

People will never close the skill gap. USA will never close the skill gap compared to the rest of the world in soccer.

Historically, the US has struggled to produce technical talent on par with Brazil or Europe.
