Freddie Adu is back and American soccer is officially saved

Freddie Adu is back, and therefore U.S. soccer is back... News soon. Oh. Yeah. So he's back. He's the future. He is the future of American soccer. Yeah. He is American soccer.

Hot TakeSoccerHotSarcastic
Adu's return did not 'save' US soccer; his career continued to stall and he retired shortly after without impacting the national team again.

The Patriots' mental toughness is superior to every other team in the NFL

The Patriots, the mental toughness they have is just insane. They are a mentally tougher team than every other team they play. You just know that they're not going to get phased. They're down two scores at home... and they're just nothing's going to change. They're just going to keep doing what they're doing.

The Patriots returned to the Super Bowl for the 3rd straight year (and won the following year), supporting the claim of their sustained dominance and composure.

Zion Williamson is basically LeBron Jr.

They landed Zion Williamson, who's basically LeBron Jr., has the craziest mixtapes of him ever.

While Zion became an All-Star and a physical force, comparing anyone to LeBron James in terms of career impact is a stretch, though Zion's hype was similarly massive.

Zion Williamson has high school explosiveness, not NBA explosiveness

I'm going to squat on a Zion Williamson take. I'm going to say he doesn't have NBA explosiveness. Even though he has like a dunk video where he's just dunking. I'm going to say he has high school explosiveness, not NBA explosiveness.

Zion Williamson is widely considered one of the most explosive athletes in NBA history, rendering this take spectacularly incorrect.

Duke would have won the National Championship by 50 points if they had reached the final.

I think if Duke plays in the championship game, they win by 50. Easily. That was a wasted opportunity.

This is a hyperbolic counterfactual that cannot be proven, making it subjective.

Michigan is already the favorite to win the National Championship again next season.

Michigan I think is right now the favorites to win next season. Tough to win back to back, but he has to hit the portal. He has to be active... which he already is.

This is a prediction for the next college basketball season.

College basketball is now 'pay to win' and that's unsustainable

It's a pay to win tournament. Like basketball is ruined. Unsustainable. Yeah, that's the new word that I keep hearing.

Subjective opinion about the direction of college sports governance.
