Due to the 'Parallax Effect,' there has actually never been a goal scored in the history of hockey

There's a little something called the parallax effect... Depending on where you're standing in the arena, the puck can never be in the net. So we're good... That was not a goal. That was a great call by the official. The presence of mind to use the parallax effect in the middle of a game... you can't teach that.

This is a satirical take using a real optical phenomenon to make a false claim about the existence of goals.

LeBron James is now the fourth-best player of all time

I am now moving LeBron to fourth best all-time, right ahead of Kobe. So that's big of me. I've seen enough. You've got MJ, Magic, Bill Russell.

Subjective ranking of players.

LeBron James's Game 7 cramps were a calculated 'escape plan' to have an excuse if the Cavaliers lost

I actually have a theory that [LeBron's cramps] was an escape plan. Because when he went to the locker room, it was tied. So he was like, if I go to the locker room with cramps, it's an excuse in case we lose this game.

This is an unfalsifiable psychological theory about LeBron's intent, making it inherently subjective.

Ty Lue's decision to save Tristan Thompson for Game 7 was a genius coaching plan

Tristan [Thompson] Kardashian was basically the— I mean, he didn't play the entire series... Ty Lue... was saving all his energy... It's actually a genius plan by Ty Lue. [Fresh legs] for game seven.

Whether the decision was intentional genius or just a desperate adjustment is a matter of coaching opinion.

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 Reem, friend of the program, good guy over the hill, turned into soccer Sean Bradley before our very eyes got dunked on twice.

The US was indeed eliminated by Belgium in a 4-1 blowout in the Round of 16 of the 2026 World Cup.

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.

Pulisic did have a high turnover rate and was substituted out in the elimination loss.

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.
