Free solo climbing El Capitan is a nightmare and a terrible way to exercise

The guy that free solo climbed El Capitan, which is like 3,000 feet of just straight up and down granite. Fuck that. ... Fuck exercising for four hours nonstop.

The danger and physical exertion of free soloing are verifiable, but the 'Fuck That' sentiment is an opinion.

The Cavaliers are dead and have no chance in the 2017 NBA Finals

It is Monday, June 5th, and the Cavaliers are dead. They're dead... D-E-A-D, dead. I'm going to say it, and this is going to sound crazy. I actually feel a little bad for the Cavs. It's not fair. Like, what the Warriors are able to do is not fair.

The Warriors won the series 4-1, confirming the Cavs were indeed overmatched.

Ty Lue is playing exactly the wrong style of basketball by trying to keep pace with the Warriors

I don't understand, and this might just be an impossible thing to do because the Cavs somehow built a team that can't slow it down anymore because they want to play up-tempo offense themselves, but the fact that they're playing at a pace that just plays right into the Warriors' hands feels pretty stupid by Ty Lue.

The Cavaliers lost the series 4-1, and their inability to match the Warriors' offensive efficiency at high speed was a major factor cited by analysts.

The torch has officially been passed from LeBron James to Kevin Durant

Two, I had two, was the torch is passed. ... It's so much so that it's Kevin Durant's league that we have moved on from torch passing to Kevin Durant's legacy because he joined the Warriors.

Durant won the 2017 Finals MVP and outplayed LeBron in key moments, though LeBron remained the consensus best player in the world for several more years.

Augusta National likely set up Mark Calcavecchia to get caught with a cell phone to prove they still have authority

My theory is that they talked to... a behind the scenes situation where they said, we getting a lot of shit. People are saying that we still don't have it, so we're gonna throw your ass out if you're okay with just saying that he had a cell phone. So I think it might be a setup.

While purely speculative, Augusta is known for extreme measures to maintain its cell phone ban; however, there is no evidence this specific incident was a 'setup' for PR.

I can shoot a 110 at Augusta National

I actually don't think that what I said was that stupid. You said you could shoot 110. I think I could shoot 109. I could break 110. I'm not saying I would do it every time. I don't think so. I think I could do it.

The difficulty of Augusta is legendary. Most amateur golfers, including PFT based on his self-reported 87 on a par 70, would likely struggle to break 120 or 130 on a tournament-ready Augusta setup.

Everyone should be able to break 150 at Augusta National

It was more so the people that were like, dude, you can break 150. I think everybody, everyone here should be able to break 150 at Augusta.

150 is a very high score (over 8 strokes per hole). Most athletic people could likely manage this if they just advanced the ball, but greens might cause issues.
