Fanatics Fest is a cynical place designed only to take money from fans.
It also seems like the most cynical place ever. Like, you can go to an autograph festival or a fan festival and you know that the guys are being paid to be there. And they're still like, happy to see, interact with you, all that shit. It just seems like every single thing about being at that place is just designed to take money from the people that are there.

View episodeSpain is entering a period of absolute soccer dominance and will win the next Euro.
They won the Euro two years ago. They won the World Cup. They're probably gonna win the Euro in two years. They're just different generation dominating soccer.
The 2026 World Cup final was boring and sucked.
It was boring ass soccer. It sucked. It made me thankful that the World Cup's over, that football's back. Now we can get back into real football, which I'm very, very thankful for. But that was actually, I think that was the best way to end the World Cup, because I'm totally fine with no more soccer now.
Goals scored in the World Cup third-place game should not count toward the Golden Boot.
I also had one bone to pick. The third place game, which is hilarious that they still do this... The fact that those goals count for the Golden Boot is such bullshit. That's stupid. That should not count. Like that's not a real game.

Bryson DeChambeau is being targeted by selective rule enforcement.
I think that Bryson definitely did it and it's definitely against the rules. And he got caught for it and they enforced it against him because he's a bad boy. He's had some run-ins before. I don't think the R&A or whatever, I don't think they're particularly happy with Bryson right now.
Removing a ping pong table from an NFL locker room statistically leads to team improvement.
He [Ryan Paganini] put together a stat online. He looked through every team that has removed a ping pong table from the locker room since the year 2001... of the eight of the nine teams improved going from a combined 49 and 96 the previous season to 74 and 71... So it looks like the stats tell you if you want your team to get better, take the ping pong table out.
